Today I made it out to the Chicago Art Institute.  And thanks to the Chicago Public Library, admission was free!

I got to spend some development time with T.J. Houston this past week. We have several excellent ideas that we are really excited about.

Stay tuned for:

A quick post on how to send spam e-mail using a PHP method.  Also, don’t use this form as a normal contact form as it has no security built in.

NOTE:  First in some cases the client will receive an e-mail that looks spoofed.  In this case you can make an e-mail look like it has been sent from someone other than you.  Second, in some cases the client will receive an e-mail from your server.  In either case DO NOT USE THIS MALICIOUSLY because….it’s very easy to be caught.  If someone were to examine the details of the e-mail in either case it would show your server and you would be traceable.

<!— sampleSpamForm.php

Note:  All of this code should be placed on a single page.  If you look below you will see that the form will post to itself, after the post if the email field is set then it will send the email.  If not then it will display the form.

—>

<?php
if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))
//if “email” is filled out, send email
{
//send email
$to = “email to send to”;
$from = “email you want the email to appear to be sent from”;
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$subject = $_REQUEST['subject'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
$headers = “From: $from”;
$body = “$message $name”;
mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);
echo “Thank you $name for using the spam form.”;
}
else
//if “email” is not filled out, display the form
{
echo “<form method=’post’ action=’spam.php’>
Name: <input name=’name’ type=’text’>
<br>
Email: <input name=’email’ type=’text’>
<br>
Subject: <input name=’subject’ type=’text’>
<br>
Message:
<br>
<textarea name=’message’ rows=’15′ cols=’40′> </textarea>
<br>
<input type=’submit’ />
</form>”;
}
?>

Finally finished my Creighton Calendar RSS feed iPhone Application.

After four airports and three different planes, I’ve finally made it to Myrtle Beach.

Two paper presentations tomorrow, so enjoying presentations today, and go time tomorrow at 8am.

The Constortium for Computer Science in Colleges just held a conference at Park University, Parkville, MO.

I competed in the Web Design Contest, the poster contest, and the student programming contest.  So essenttially every contest they held, I competed in.

Saturday at the luncheon I was awarded grand prize champion for the Web Design Contest.  Overall it was an exciting weekend and I learned a lot.

After months of being asked what my plans are for next year, I can finally provide answer to that question.  I have recently been accepted to Loyola University Chicago and will starting my Masters in Computer Science May 24th.

So I’m really making myself sound like quite the runner lately since all of my posts have to do with running.  I ran in the Omaha Half Marathon this past sunday and I’m still sore.  My final chip time was 2:14:19 which for the lack of traning I had that’s not too bad.

My dad came into town to watch me run.  Overall it was a great weekend.  He has a couple pictures of me in my running garb and maybe I will post those later on if I get them off his camera.

Technically this is our fourth week of school.  I guess this is where things get serious.

Classes are going alright, the irony is History 101 is my hardest class.  I knew it wasn’t going to be fun which is why I pushed taking general history off until my Senior year.

All of my Computer Science classes are going well, for the most part.  Computer Organization is off to a rough start but I have high hopes for that one.  My Journalism class is a lot of fun, Interactive Design, however I’m awful with CS4 so I’m having some issues getting off the ground in that one.  We have to create a 20 second flash ad, which is a loooooonnnnngggg time, I have a good idea I’m just having some issues implementing it.
