Schneier on Security: Homomorphic Encryption Breakthrough
Last month, IBM made some pretty brash claims about homomorphic encryption and the future of security. I hate to be the one to throw cold water on the whole thing -- as cool as the new discovery is -- but it's important to separate the theoretical from the practical. schneier.com
Interesting explanation about the homomorphic encryption "breakthrough" IBM made last month.

Week one down
I was not looking forward to the third set of push ups for this week. My arms and chest has been pretty sore since I started. My left triceps has also been doing this wierd twitching thing every once and a while. However, it is a good type of sore so I decided to try and power on through and stay committed to the challenge. I procrastinated all evening and then decided to push them out around 10:00pm. The first set was OK even though I was pretty sore. Set 2 sucked but I got through them all. I was actually happy with the 2 minutes between sets since it gave me just enough time to recover. I was able to do the 2 sets of 7 then I was able to eak out 13 for my final set even though the last 2 were in pretty bad shape and form. Wooho! week one down. Week 2 starts Monday after two days of rest.
After some thinnking I have decided to try and rebuild the muscles in my body. They have had the last 10 months off and I really can feel it. I am a big believer in the creed Use it or Loose it. So I have decided to start using it again. I'm starting out with the push up challenge and trying to walk a mile every night and then add a little more every few weeks. The CIDP has only seriously effected my left leg, my left triceps, and my stomach muscles so I fiigure if I build all the muscles around the bad parts I can try and mitigate the weakness of those specific muscles. Well it's worth a shot.

100 Push Up Challenge
I have been feeling like I am back on the road to recovery. My left arm is still weak but I feel like I can start working on getting it back into shape. Recently I came across the 100 Push Up Challenge. (I think body weight exercises especially push ups are a great way to rehab damaged muscles) It is a basic plan that gets you ready to be able to attempt 100 push ups at one time. There was a time when I actually could do around 80 push ups but I have gained about 50lbs since then. Couple that with CIDP and it makes it uncertain that I will ever be able to get to 100. Still it is a challenge and something to look forward to. I was able to do 9 push ups for my starting out maximum on Saturday evening.
I was still sore from Saturday but I was able to do all five sets for the first day. I will try to keep on track and let you know how I fare.
