Plain-text passwords
Once of the easiest ways *not* 
to leak out somebody's password is to not store it.

Well, after running for over a year with the iPhone, I recently switched to a Motorola Milestone as my primary cellphone. Overall, I'm fairly happy with the phone, and I suppose this could be considered a "review" of it and a comparison against the previous phone (iPhone 3G).

Well, I've finally decided to take this old site and blow off the dust, clean up the mould, and revamp things a bit again. Hopefully the new layout will meet approval and I'll manage to keep things up-to-date and interesting around here.
