title: Privacy, Counterstrike, Gnut, and More...

I just read <a href="http://www.kuro5hin.org/?op=displaystory;sid=2000/10/31/0481/1037">this story</a> over on <a href="http://www.kuro5hin.org/">Kuro5hin</a>.
The thing that bothers me is that it sounds strikingly similar to something
that happened to me (although the FBI didn't get involved, and I didn't
lose any hardware). 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. I also
have a <a href="/links/#crypto">Cryptography, Security, and Privacy</a>
section on my <a href="/links/">Links</a> page.
<br /><br />
I finally got a chance to play
<a href="http://www.counter-strike.net/">Counter-Strike</a>.
For those of you who don't know, CS is technically a MOD for Half-Life,
which I haven't really seen yet. 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 Enlightenment
CVS server has moved to <i>cvs.enlightenment.sourceforge.net</i>; see
the <a href="http://www.enlightenment.org/cvs.html">Enlightenment
CVS Page</a> for anonymous CVS instructions.
<br /><br />
I added ACTIONKEY modifiers to each of the main sections on the
sidebar. The meta key + first letter of Main through Links will
take you to the respective section. Apparently this HTML 4.0 feature
isn't supported in Netscape 4.x, but it is supported in Internet
Explorer and Mozilla. The Meta key for MacOS is Command, and it's
Alt For Windows. It's redefinable in X11, but usually Alt.
