Geek stuff

Lately I have been looking for a good coding project to work on in my spare time since I don't get enough opportunity to code right now. What I am thinking of is some sort of encryption device for USB keydrives. Writing one in C# should not be that difficult to do, and I already have an idea of how to make it work. I was inspired by such a program that come on a keydrive I bought while back that ceased functioning altogether when I ran it in WINE under Linux. Now that Mono has gotten so mature on Linux, I should be able to develop in VMware on my laptop and run it soon in the Linux environment without issues.

So yeah, I might be starting to play around with the latest builds of MovableType in the near future. With features like this, there's a lot to love about thew new builds of MovableType. One of the great things about having Linux installed on your PC is that you can actually play around with stuff like that easily, whereas it's a royal pain to do a lot of cool geeky stuff in Windows.

And lastly, I got tired of Firefox in English, so I switched to the Italian locale. I love how Google's services all respond to the language of the browser, localizing the content. When I went to Google News earlier, all of the content was from Italy and eerily enough, my Italian is getting to the point where I can generally follow some of the articles I read. I've got the Corriere della Sera in my RSS reader to help me out with some of that. Cerco per blogs in Italiano, cualchi ha racommmandazioni?
