Not that there are no other fish in the ocean upon whom I can sling my hook, but who can be like my dear Betsy that loves me with such generosity of heart?

Steven K. Roberts is a person I might have been. We even look kind of alike. He grew up a nomad; I grew up a bureaucrat....

Witty seems to have been an orchestrated attack, albeit using an opportunistic method. The paper argues convincingly that we're using the wrong security model; if we don't change, the bad guys are gonna take down a lot of computers. Doesn't matter if it's a prank or something really malicious, it's going to be costly regardless.

Turns out I don't think the laptop makes a satisfactory PDA, despite its obvious advantages and excellent form factor, so I bought a Palm Tungsten E the other day and have been whipping it into shape. It's a pretty slick device.
POPFile on PowerBook

I resisted installing POPfile for several weeks--partly because I wanted to be more familiar with the Mac environment before installing something so far out of the ordinary, and partly because I wanted to give mail.app's junk filter a test. By January's end, it was pretty clear that the Junk Mail filter doesn't work as well as I'd like, and I missed POPfile's more general mail sorting capabilities. As I've mentioned before, I sort incoming mail into a couple dozen categories. Teaching POPfile to recognize those categories lets me get by with two dozen rules, rather than a couple hundred. Much better.
