Excitement is growing. The day is almost here. I know it is not the 25th yet but I will not be able to post on the day. So, now I want to wish everyone a happy holiday. Hope Santa visits and is kind to you. I'm hoping, that if it is a lump of coal I get, it will at least be a BIG one!
See you again next Friday! Till then, HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

Another share of one of my MP3s. I set up a new one once a week and give you seven days to check it out. After that it will be gone and replaced by a new selection. Please don't link to this. Just click on the link and save it. For this week: |
Greg Lake "I Believe In Father Christmas" |
This is a great song from Greg Lake. You must remember Emerson Lake & Palmer. He was the one third in the middle. He has also made several solo albums and continued to be a valuable asset to the music community. This cut is taken from the first CD of the "50 Best Festive Favorites" compilation, not the album shown. Happy Holidays.

Not the usual Friday Fun but these two items might give you some fun in the future:
10 MinuteMail is a site that gives you just what it says. A temporary email address that is valid for ten minutes. If that is not quite enough time to get what you need you can get an extension. The nice part of this is that you can use it to receive info from people you don't want to give your real address to, but you can also send mail back to them with the temporary email address.
Podmailer is a tiny piece of software that empowers you to share files by email - regardless of their size - without clogging your inbox.

Private university Carnegie Mellon has written up an interesting method for keeping your passwords safe from keyloggers at public computers. Check out the PDF, How To Login From an Internet Cafe Without Worrying About Keyloggers at Carnegie Mellon University. The trick:
Between successive keys of the password we will enter random keys. In the spirit of chaffing and winnowing, the string that the keylogger receives will contain the password, but embedded in so much random junk that discovering it is infeasible.
The idea is, for each character of your password you type, you also type several random characters in another field in your browser. Using this method, the authors demonstrate how a password like snoopy2 becomes spwslainsdvnosdgfsodgfdpuouuyhdg2 in the eyes of a keylogger. Of the five keylogging programs tested, none captured the correct passwords when this method was employed. While this trick does not ensure safety from a keylogger it certainly will give you added security if you need to log into anything from a public computer. Check out the digg comments for more good suggestions for beefing up this method.

What's more Christmasy then A Charlie Brown Christmas special? We've all seen them over and over again. Each has the music of Vince Guaraldi with "O Tannenbaum". This has almost become a cultural fixture. No Christmas could be held without it. Santa and Charlie Brown. What a team!

Pearl Jam "Let Me Sleep" |
It's December, so I thought postings should start to reflect the upcoming season. I'm starting with something slightly different. Not what you normally think of at Christmas is Pearl Jam's "Let Me Sleep". This is a great little number that really should have more exposure, this time of year. It is from the "Best of" collection on the "Lost Dogs" album released in 2003.
