I think I'm stressed. But i'm not really sure.

It seems like some things are creeping up on me. There's school work lingering in the background. I've kind of lost one of my part-time jobs. And I have a rather 'fancy' dinner to go to but don't know what to wear and am really really afraid of looking like an idiot in front of the other people there. I feel pressure from certain people to perform ... or maybe it's just a manifestation of pressure I've been putting on myself.

I feel a lack of motivation, or rather, just a lot of worrying being done on my part. It's weird that earlier today I was saying I can handle everything and now I feel like I'm just not good at anything.

Maybe I'm starting to doubt myself.

Maybe I can get a tattoo and piercing. Now that would be cool.

Gmail has POP Mail?! Wow -- I never knew!

Gmail Now Offers POP Access
Gmail Help: How do I enable POP?

Dang. Ironically, Gmail makes me want to get Outlook 2003 :) I might actually go get me a copy too!

More linky's on cool stuff! Reminded me about Distributed Systems lectures in security :)

Safe E-mailing for Dummies
This reminded me about Hushmail, which I used long ago. However, this one seems more secure and versatile since Hushmail was really only secure amongst Hushmail users. Ciphire Mail is more versatile not because it doesn't mean the person on the receiving end doesn't have to be a Ciphire Mail user, but more because it works with your mail client...almost any mail client from the sounds of it. That said, it's in a very very beta mode but nevertheless, sounds like something neat :)

By extension, here are some of the links they mentioned in the article:
Twofish Encryption Algorithm
What is RSA?
What is the Digital Signature Algorithm?
What is the ElGamal Algorithm?
What is the AES?
Check out the Cryptographic Toolkit

LOL -- hilarious that i get a link that really applies to my cooking style!

(haha, and fluffy, if you read this...thanks again for the 'the girl can't cook' cookbook) :)
