title: Squid to Privoxy, Proxy-O-Rama
---

<p>
I just finished setting <a href='http://www.squid-cache.org/'>Squid</a>.
It  forwards to <a href='http://www.privoxy.org/'>Privoxy</a>.  Things
feel a little faster, but I'll have to play around with it a bit more
before I know for sure.  Also, I set up <a
href='http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-5.html#ss5.2'>automatic
browser proxy configuration</a> based on <a
href='http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-5.html#ss5.4'>this
script</a>.  My internal machines can access the proxy configuration at
the <acronym title='Uniform Resource Locator'>URL</acronym>
<code>http://proxy/auto/</code>.  If you'd like to use it, you can
grab it <a href='/download/proxy.pac'>here</a>.

<a href='http://www.paulgraham.com/ffb.html'>New Paul Graham article</a>.  A <a href='http://www.livejournal.com/users/jwz/193866.html'>rant on jwz's blog</a> about the problems with CSS layout.  <a href='http://www.gnu.org/directory/security/libgcrypt.html'>Gcrypt</a>, a set of crypto functions from <a href='http://www.gnupg.org/'>GnuPG</a>; I'm thinking about whipping up some <a href='http://www.ruby-lang.org/'>Ruby</a> bindings.

I've finally got some content on <a href='http://www.paulduncan.org/'>my other personal site</a>.  I think I'm going to be using it for non-tech material (writing, day to day stuff, etc).  The backend is much smaller (and cleaner) than this site, and as a result it's easier to update and maintain.
