I'm on a business trip for a couple of days, staying at a Hyatt. They offer wireless internet via a T-Mobile HotSpot ($10 for 24 hours). Alas, they block my ability to send email via my own server. As a security and spam-prevention measure, many of these hot spots (not just T-Mobile) will block you from connecting to any mail server other than their own. If you don't have a web-based mail interface (say, .Mac or Yahoo), or a company-provided VPN solution, you're screwed.—Continue reading....

I never thought I'd bother to do this, but my natural paranoia has led me to put password protection on some of my posts. Thank goodness Wordpress makes this easy. For the (very, very) occasional posts I would rather the entire public not see, you'll have to enter a password to view the entry. If you know who I am, then you know (one of) my personal email addresses. If you email me there (and we've spent more than five minutes together), I'll send you the password. Or, just ask the next time we're together.—Continue reading....
