2010

Re-encrypting Windows 7 laptop with BitLocker. AES-256+Diffuser, TPM+USB and complex PIN… you’d think I was hiding government secrets.

Actually, not going to switch to TrueCrypt on my laptop. Decided after more research BitLocker was a better option on Windows. (TPM+PIN+USB)

Changing laptop from BitLocker to TrueCrypt for system drive encryption.

New iPhone Bing app has a very ‘metro’ feel to it. I’m not sure I like that #GoNativeOrGoHome

There is a CR-48 being delivered to my zip code, oh could it be mine, could it be mine?

Trying to figure out the reply to a secret question on an account I setup when I was 15 or 16. Pounding my head against the wall…

Spent a little time refreshing the old LinkedIn profile. You never know when it’ll come in handy.

I kinda want a Nexus S… kinda.

Why in the heck can’t Apple seem to fix that stupid “information on this page is outdated” bug in iTunes? Been there for many versions.

Just bought a YubiKey to further secure my LastPass idenity.

So it turns out I did have a Gawker account, good thing I’ve been changing passwords like a mad man just incase.

Just had an hour long PowerPoint meeting where I swear the presenter was still using Office 97.

Oooh! Cyberduck now on Windows! cyberduck.ch

I’ve decided, I like Conan better without the beard.

Maybe this Gawker data breach was just a ploy to generate more how to articles for Lifehacker.

More and more I wonder if society is actually going to make it as far as 2012, when the planet is just going to do us in anyway.

I didn’t have an account with Gawker, but their recent password fiasco is an excuse to audit password strength and remove duplicate ones.

Teamviewer is now going to replace RDP, VNC and LogMeIn on most of my remote system management. (Except work servers, RDP will live on)

Nerding out to the Indiana Jones marathon on USA.

I don’t think a CR48 is in my future. :(

“You can run this operation when I’m not here, when I’m here, I’m in charge.” (My wife after being gone all week)

Just like you can’t yell fire in a crowded theater you can’t yell DDOS in a Twitter stream and call it freedom of speech.

So now anon is targeting Amazon.com, after hitting PayPal and Amazon. Why has Twitter not taken action? Oh wait, they’re too scared.

Horrible feeling to hear friend and former coworker not much older then me has stage 4 cancer. Going to be hard to sleep thinking of that.

Awesome, flaky Internet again tonight.

organized, even

What these groups are doing isn’t cute, or funny. It’s an orginized (digital) terrorist attack.

It would seem that “anon” would be in violation of Twitter TOS by coordinating DDOS attacks. Why are they not doing anything about it?

Going to give Trillian 5 another go as a Twitter client. Always up for trying new things. Plus it’s already installed.

Great case study of using Evernote along with one-to-one programs in schools. youtu.be/5Ag_rlQL4…
