Editing Cipher cracking 2011 weekly progress (section)

====Patrick====
# Work Done this Week
#* Examined the [[Cipher Cross-off List#Playfair_Cipher|Playfair Cipher]] using the code and the Cipher GUI updated last week. Concluded we can rule it out. [[Cipher Cross-off List#Playfair_Cipher|Click here for reasoning.]]
#* Cipher GUI work:
#** Fixed a bug in Playfair Cipher relating to forming the Playfair Square
#** Changed the default plaintext display to lowercase and ciphertext display to uppercase as per cryptological norms.
#* Web Crawler/Pattern Matcher work:
#** Completely re-designed  and re-coded pattern matching code for the following reasons:
#*** Make the setup neater, easier to understand and more flexible to change/add functionality.
#*** New understanding on how the web crawler provides data enabled a more direct design approach.
#** Created a demo pattern matching web crawler that successfully detected patterns in a live Web-Crawling test!
#** Had a look at an article, pointed out by Matthew, regarding a similar project by the search engine company ''blekko'' that allows users to submit a regex to run a search on.
# Goals for Next Week
#* Further investigation of ciphers for the Cipher Cross-off List
#* Implement a cipher on the Cipher GUI
#* Work with Steve in integrating the web crawler/pattern matcher into a GUI
#* Upgrade the pattern matching code further
#* Come up with some regex's we can submit to the ''blekko'' crawler to see if we can get them to test for us
#* Meet with Steve and Derek regarding progress to date and plans for the Final Seminar
#* Begin work on said Final Seminar.
