<img src="/img/CC_BY-SA_4.0/y.st./weblog/2016/10/27.jpg" alt="Strange, purple berries" class="weblog-header-image" width="811" height="480" />
<p>
	Current countdowns:
</p>
<ul>
	<li>249 scheme-specific <abbr title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</abbr>-parsing classes to write and add to <a href="https://git.vola7ileiax4ueow.onion/y.st./include.d/releases">include.d</a></li>
	<li>1 free elective left in my associate degree program</li>
	<li>4 free electives left in my bachelor degree program</li>
</ul>
<p>
	Website cleanup tasks left to accomplish:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Remove numeric <abbr title="Extensible Hypertext Markup Language">XHTML</abbr> entities; these pages are written in Unicode, non-<abbr title="American Standard Code for Information Interchange">ASCII</abbr> characters can be used directly.</li>
<li>Find and tag any references to <abbr title="Extensible Hypertext Markup Language">XHTML</abbr> tags in my journal pages.</li>
<li>Find and tag any references to functions, classes, and constants that can be <code>grep</code>ed for; look for backslashes and empty parentheses.</li>
<li>Find and clean up references to <code>/domain_research/</code>.</li>
<li>Build error pages.</li>
<li>Update the onion domain pages to show that the onions are down</li>
<li>Update the hall of shame</li>
</ul>
<p>
	Topics for essays that I want to write outside of school:
</p>
<ul>
<li>How the <abbr title="GNU &quot;Free&quot; Documentation License">GFDL</abbr> isn&apos;t a free license, and is effectively nonfree even when invariant sections aren&apos;t used</li>
<li>How the telephone number system is screwy</li>
<li>How postpaid mobile plans are bad for customers</li>
<li>How connections using &quot;untrusted&quot; <abbr title="Transport Layer Security">TLS</abbr> certificates are more trustworthy than connections without any <abbr title="Transport Layer Security">TLS</abbr> certificate at all</li>
<li>The importance of free software</li>
<li>The importance of free media</li>
</ul>
<p>
	I spent most of the day finishing and tuning up the assignments that were due tonight.
	I&apos;m too tired to write up much of a journal entry today.
	I&apos;ll probably take my final examinations tomorrow.
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/en/coursework/POLS1503/#Unit8">POLS 1503: Globalization</a></li>
<li><a href="/en/coursework/UNIV1001/#Unit8">UNIV 1001: Online Education Strategies</a></li>
</ul>
<p>
	My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.
</p>
<p>
	<strong>*EDIT <a href="https:/en/weblog/2016/12-December/18.xhtml">Day 00652: Sunday, 2016 December 18</a>*:</strong> I&apos;ve moved &quot;learning journal&quot; content to a separate page now, accessible from the <a href="/en/coursework/">coursework</a> section of the website.
