I wasn't sure what to have for dinner earlier. I had some chicken to cook, some left-over Sharwood's tikka masala sauce and some mushrooms. I decided to experiment and try making those ingredients into a burger. A chicken & mushroom tikka masala burger. It was yummy.

I've nearly finished my survey paper of register allocation based watermarking techniques which describes all the existing techniques and their flaws. I am awaiting a recent paper via an inter-library loan which I need to read, understand and then add to my survey. My next tasks will be surveying all the other families of static software watermarking techniques and extending my survey of static Java bytecode watermarking. I've come up with a road-map for the rest of my PhD studies, which also includes extending my Java bytecode decompiler evaluation which was presented at the SCAM2009 conference. Here's my plan in graph form:
PhD Roadmap
I think I'll look at my decompiler paper tomorrow. I haven't really looked at it for almost a year. I need to fix it up, turn it into a journal paper and also an MPhil transfer report chapter.
Here's some things I didn't know yesterday:
- The average number of mouse clicks per day for an average employee is 564 (warning - pdf).
- Data can be hidden in DNA and shredded documents (warning - pdfs).
- You can live without a stomach.
- Egypt has a place called Valley of the Whales (Wadi Al-Hitan) where many ancient whale fossils are found, including the bizarre Basilosaurus Isis which has useless limbs left-over from it's land-dwelling ancestors. Strangely, customs officials are currently refusing re-entry of a fossil to the country without payment of $40,000.
