Finishing up The Fellowship of the Ring and ordered Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World by Bruce Schneier. Applied Cryptography would have been way over my head, and I enjoy reading about cryptography so I thought this would be a good holiday reader. Last year I read The Code Book by Simon Singh (after Cryptonomicon) about the same time of year. That was a fun book too.

Been playing with Tastybrew.com lately. I've finally got most of a working site for homebrewers. I recently added a diary entry similar to here. We'll see if homebrewers will use it as much as programmers. If they're any homebrewers here, check it out. Feedback is always welcome. :)

Wrote linux.com a while ago after finding this quote on their site (here):

    Code powering the Linux.com site is available under the GNU Public License. Please email dev at linux.com for more information.
I'll have to try again as I never got a response. It would be cool to see some of the tricks they use there, since I'm mostly coding websites in PHP and MySQL these days.

Grabbed Galeon 0.12.3 a bit ago after hearing lots of good things about it. I compiled it and ran with it about a day before 1.0 came out. It's pretty rock solid and blazingly fast.
