Well, there are ways of protecting yourself; always +use <a href=http://www.ssh.fi/">SSH</a>, use +<a href="http://www.pgp.com/">PGP</a> (or, even better, +<a href="http://www.gnupg.org/">GnuPG</a>), and +<a href="http://www.anonymizer.com/">Anonymizer</a>. +<a href="http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Security-HOWTO.html">Here</a> is +a good overview of security- and privacy-related information.

Anyway, CS is really damn cool. You +play as either a SWAT team member or a terrorist, and the weapons are +modeled after real-life ones. The control is kind of screwy, but I +think that's just me getting used to it. +<br /><br /> + +<a href="http://www.mrob.com/gnut/">Gnut 0.4.15</a> is out, but it's +not what you think. Apparently they forgot a header in the 0.4.14 build, +so they fixed that and rereleased as 0.4.15. This means all my +nifty <a href="/download/patch.phtml">patches</a> for Gnut 0.4.14 still +work on 0.4.15. +<br /><br /> + +I've been doing a lot of work on <a href="/projects/ewl/">EWL</a> again +lately. <a href="http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/">Tom Gilbert</a> fixed +a really nasty bug that I was having trouble tracking down. This +week I've been trying to get the layout and size-request code working. +Feel free to contribute if you've got suggestions.

The meta key + first letter of Main through Links will +take you to the respective section.
