Doing my part as a good citizen to evangelise the importance of online security and privacy. Thanks to Barcajax’s constant nagging, and having an IT geek of a spouse, helps in my initial inertia. I’ve started to use pidgin as opposed to Windows Live IM for encryption for chat sessions. Unfortunately, only a handful of my friends are using this and I would encourage everyone to start this simple download. Silver Bullet has helped me encrypt my thumb-drives and I’m assured of a peace of mind should those tiny things disappear. I remember going bonkers once when I thought I had lost one of my thumb-drives. Imagine people snooping on your data. That’s not very pleasant, is it?

Barcajax should be so proud! Read more on security stuff here.

Walking by the soi today since the incident 2 days ago, I can’t help but have heightened awareness of all the turds turning up in that soi. Always thought they are dogs’ poo…now I’m wondering if that *seow charbo has also played a part in it. Where would she have done it this time? All the “watermarks” on the soi…does it belong to her…?

* Seow – Hokkien for “mad” or “crazy”; Charbo – Hokkien for woman
