     “And now I see the face of god, and I raise this god over the earth, this god whom men have sought since men came into being, this god who will grant them joy and peace and pride.
     “This god, this one word:
     “ ‘I.’ ”
Anthem

Go ahead spambots, create some more bounces.
ipv6:
I’ve been doing the v6 thing since it was NG in 97. I know the differences between 3ffe, 2620, and db8. I love routers and hate NAT so fly me out for lunch and let’s talk about IPv6 and dual-stacking your AS.
encryption:
You can view this site securely; you’ll probably want to install my root certificate. Some day I’ll create a cert that’s not expired. This host supports TLS in SMTP for secure email from host to host; my PGP public keys (pgp8 and gnupg) are available for secure user to user email.
apple:
MacOS X on an iBook (stolen!) 12″ PowerBook is the Best Thing Ever.
Check out my old ipfw script for firewalling OS X. Now I just use the one in Sharing preferences.
Some software is close to perfect.
eternal vigilance:
The ACLU has a pamphlet available in eight languages called Know Your Rights. You can download the PDFs.
useful stuff:
Setting up GPG keys.
Running your own certificate authority with OpenSSL.
The Tank Girl Guide to System Administration.
Securely bypassing a firewall that logs URLs.
RFC 2821 Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
RFC 2822 Internet Message Format
Redirecting DNS using tinydns and dnscache.
Converting your named.conf for an easy tinydns migration.
Import vpopmail authentication into an htpasswd file.
What to do about DDoS attacks.
Some guy at the SDSC generates dnsbl stats.
My Aeonium arboreum Schwarzkopf has cool black leaves.
See what else is in my garden.

A dear friend once asked if I minded being called “Howie.” She said I reminded her of Ayn Rand’s character Howard Roark. Interpret that as you wish. Yeah, I’m intp.
