The Windows GUI for secure FTP is WinSCP. When I’ve tested this, I’ll be a happier man. TextDrive is requiring its users to use SFTP for file transfer. Break-ins are a bad thing, and avoiding shouting out your passwords on all logins is a good thing. SFTP is the solution to that. OK, enough of …

Privacy, comments and blogs
I have had the first outside-my-circle reaction to this blog. I had typed something disparaging and incorrect about a website. And published it here. I named names. **Doh.** Should not have done. (And I shouldn’t go on in any way about websites sucking.) (Ms. Koi: From now on I shall refrain from snide and useless …
ImageShack
ImageShack is a hosting place for those hard-to-place images, or the ones you just need to host somewhere, and Flickr just does not cut it, maybe you feel it ain’t fast enough for you. I was speculating there, sorry.

Why do you do roleplaying games?
I was asked the hardest question in an email, a while ago, and then I had to answer, and now that I go back to it, looking at it, it sounds very much unlike me. Why is that? Why does your own speech of the past sound so alien a bit later? From: Juhana Pettersson …
