sometimes i wonder why i do the right thing.

after all, people who don’t have a reasonable chance of not being caught. i guess it comes down to a sort of gambling, a sort of moral luck. i wonder what the percentage of unsolved murders is?

sometimes i wonder why helping others is the right thing. some people aren’t very grateful. some people don’t realise it either. but i think the bigger thing is that i help people while being unable to help myself. this is the most bothersome thing. who am i to help you if i can’t put my own life together? this is my cardinal sin.

i call it false authority syndrome. it infects many besides me.

i wish people would realise i don’t have all the answers. i need some time off. away from everything.

Open-source group gets Sun security gift

this is funny if you take it out of context.

“Current encryption technology is based on mathematics developed in the 17th and 18th centuries, Diffie said. “Elliptic curve cryptography brings it forward into the mathematics of the 19th century,” he said.”

woohoo, go security!
