Keeping up with the insane amount of email I receive daily is nigh-impossible, given that I have other things to do. Of course, most of this is self-inflicted, because I'm on a lot of mailing lists by choice. I also have this unshakeable tendency to archive all the mail I get, including list email, although it's almost certainly archived better elsewhere with search tools and threading and what not. I had thought a while back of cutting down the mailing lists I'm on per se, and using GMANE, but that hasn't taken with me.
I'm trying to climb out of this pit a little at a time now (yet again), so you may see me pop up out of the blue on a mailing list or eight. Hopefully, as I've said any number of times, each the last time I did this sort of thing, I'll continue to participate as well, instead of being active in sine waves with amazingly long periods.
I have some essays that are half-finished and ages old that I'll be commenting on shortly, and requesting commentary on, the first on digital rights management. I'll try to get that out this week, at least to this here blog.
Although my day job has near zero to do with anything I was doing for my last three employers, I'm still inexplicably drawn to pontificate about security and languages, so expect more of that. And of course, I mix the personal stuff that's non-technical with the personal stuff that is technical; consider yourself warned.
Recent adventures in coding have seen me fiddling with writing some simple tools (key word: "simple") in C++ (shock! horror!) because I got sick with trying to track down two novelty Perl scripts every time I hopped systems, neither of which was meant to be readable (in fact, they were meant to be as short as possible, and are distinctly unreadable). I've been moaning and groaning about the lack of a decent text editor more lately, though again, this is a recurring pattern with me.
Oh, and I'm trying to post more to this thing. I've said that before. We'll see. One might wonder why I'm trying to post more, if I don't have a lot to say. Let's just call it an "experiment" and go from there.
