In memoriam: Maureen's grandmother, Timmy's great-grandmother, Lola Alice, passed away today. She was very active up until her last days, and we even celebrated her 86th birthday last month. Her life has positively affected so many lives, and she will be missed. Also, please remember my grandmother, Timmy's other great-grandmother, Concha, or Ima to those who knew her in our family, who passed away a year and a day ago, though I hadn't previously mentioned her passing on this site. May they both rest in peace.
The pros and cons of "trusted computing" at EFF.org (Electronic Frontier Foundation) is a good article, though almost a year old, analyzing trusted computing proposals and suggestions for improvement. The Electronic Frontier Foundation is an authority on digital rights and freedom. I'll put a formal link (on the regular site) to them soon. Also, I now have the site mirrored on Tripod Lycos UK.
Mozilla Firefox 0.9.3 is out. Also, I have removed all "target=_blank" code from links, so you can decide for yourself if you want a new window/tab or not when clicking on links. Shift-click for new window (Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, IE), Ctrl-click for new tab (Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox).
More code streamlining. Added links to info about TCPA, computer help, and more humor in the computer resources page.
