Well, at some point over the next couple of days I’m going to try to find time to write a tutorial on writing LaTeX documents. Watch this space…

Gave a presentation for TermiSoc this evening (well, it’s just gone midnight as I write this…), on Unix (specifically GNU/Linux and FreeBSD) security.

It went pretty well, I thought, though I rushed it a bit, and wasn’t as prepared as I could’ve been (I spent much of the hour before the presentation, when I was hoping to prepare more, trying to get the projector to play nice with my laptop).

Source and PDF are, as usual, available here.

New article (tutorial, whatever)–"How and Why to Encrypt Your Email". Feedback appreciated, from anyone who bothers to read it.

I haven’t posted much for a while. To be honest, there’s not been much to post about; I’ve done no coding, lots of reading, and more writing than I have in years (which is to say, I’m onto a second page–more fiction than I’ve written since I’ve been at Uni, and more than I’ve written at all since I gave up my history degree).

Following a conversation Chris and I had after his performance at BleepLoad, we’re planning to get together for a jam session this weekend–should be fun. I’m also hoping to get even more writing done, though it’s quite possible that most people reading this won’t ever get to read it until I can convince myself it’s any good…

Plymouth has been having ridiculously warm weather recently; it’s quite worrying, usually we have rain pretty much non-stop from September to June, then three months of decent weather. It’s nice, though. Pity Sunderland is (apparently) having nice weather, too–I don’t get to make my family jealous…

Also, I highly recommend the band Sigur Rós, especially the songs Starálfur, Olsen Olsen, Untitled 4 and Untitled 8. Jósef Tekur Fimmuna Í Vinnuna and Dánarfregnir Og Jarðarfarir are pretty good too. MP3s are available on their site.
