Dinner – mmmm

Take good, crusty french bread, a couple days off. Toast. Vidalia onions, in hot olive oil in pan. A little fresh pepper. .. wait .. Sliced musrooms in pan with onions. More pepper. Lemon juice, Lea & Perrins. .. wait .. Leftover whiskey steak, sliced on the bias + some leftover sauce. Splash more whiskey. [...]
History Channel
matt | October 20, 2003
The History channel makes you think about things. For example, while I do not particularly like Dubya (because I think him to be a moron), I can't say that I disagree with current military actions. Whe viewed against a broad historical tapestry, this is merely a case of empire building, the same as any other [...]
Conspiracies

Okay, so on Thursday, SCO got a $50 million investment from an investment company. On Friday, an article was posted suggesting that Microsoft is responsible. The investment company says that MS isn't. If Microsoft is investing in SCO, it makes sense – anything MS can do to try and kill Linux in any way possible [...]

I should be in bed

But instead I'm playing with crypto: http://enigmail.mozdev.org/thunderbird.html It's an extension for Mozilla/Thunderbird which allows you to use OpenPGP (embodied in GnuPG) or S/MIME to send email. I've used GnuPG before, but not S/MIME. It looks like it does a certificate-based encryption, like SSL. Not sure, though. Need to go to bed now.
Updates to old news

As an update to this post, that guy who told people about the shift key is not being sued. I guess they realized they would lose, so they backed down. In other news, I like my new email/hosting provider, Eryxma. There was like a 12 hour turnaround to get them to open up another email [...]
Nice Long Weekend
matt | October 13, 2003
So, I put a quick and dirty website up here. I'm going to make a nicer one, eventually. Still trying to get email stuff worked out – I can get mail, but I can't sent mail, because Cox filters port 25, and I have to get the hosting company to open up another nonstandard port [...]
One more thing

A quote appropriate for the RIAA: “There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years, the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in [...]
Kneejerk reactionism
matt | October 9, 2003
First off, I am rapidly getting better, and would like to thank everyone who was worried about my health. Now, on to why I am pissed off. In the news: For those of you who don't read Slashdot, this article has all the links you need. In a nutshell: 2 weeks ago, BMG releases audio [...]
