As you may know, the our border agents have started to require various travelers (i.e. the shifty-looking ones that try to cross borders) who happen to have tech gadgets with them to turn those gadgets on, login, mount encrypted drives, etc., so that those agents can make copies. I’m not planning to leave the country, [...]

This one’s a bit more advanced than the others. Not only does it merge a couple of feeds (Metafilter and Ask Metafilter), make sure there are no dupes, and filter based on keyword (it’s a permit policy, so you have to add more keywords to let more posts through), but it also does some basic [...] Via Metafilter (via Mindhacks), originally linked by New Scientist, the onlyone I’ve listened to is the Virtual Barbershop, but the others are, I bet, as cool. The Virtual Barbershop is YouTube hosted, in stereo, and requires earphones/headphones to work properly. Find the others in the New Scientist link. As you all know, I’ve occasionally written comments/feedback to big blogs I read about their overall content, but since I certainly can’t expect them to respond only to my own feedback and change their tunes (esp. with respect to diet/health/exercise topics which I often find noisome), I’ve started filtering their feeds to my Google Reader [...] I’ve been moving files around at work and encrypting the ones that make sense to do so. From Cryptonomicon, I understand that “radio games” roughly translates to “funkspiel” in German (partly because the radio on German submarines used to be called the “funkmaat”). I’ve been creating sized-just-right crypted logical drives/files with TrueCrypt, putting various big-ass compressed [...] …but I am dead curious. http://www.loopt.com/ Apparently uses various kinds of location data (cell phone GPS is only one way, not the only way) from your mobile phone/cellular device to let your loopt buddies know where you physically are, in real time. The reason I can’t sign up for it? Go to the home page, then click Register, [...] I am caught up with all the filing and paperwork sorting and prepared to do my taxes. But I haven’t got the energy to actually do the taxes, by far. Shooting for next weekend, then. With Dreamhost’s Goodies page, there were absolutely no problems, and I needn’t have worried about my plugins or themes or theme customizations following me (unlike last time). I also upgraded my various plugins to current version. Easy peasy (though those took some SFTP and SSH action). I just left a comment on a BoingBoing post. The post (about some hugely calorific dish at Outback Steakhouse): http://www.boingboing.net/2008/02/11/worst-food-in-americ.html
I’m thinking you guys (the creators of BoingBoing) probably don’t care, because you are hip and probably all thin, cool type people [...] I am having a work issue that involves needing to plan and strategize and implement a large standards/process library for my IT department (at work, natch). The project is long-term, and just starting out, and while I am a member of a team (and thus not solely responsible), I need some guidance vis a vis [...] |
