Use a password analyzer to improve password security: "The advisor is pretty intelligent. If you use your name, it tells you. It checks words in the dictionary. It checks variations on words. If more people used tools like this, we've have less hackin..." My PowerBook password rating was about 65, not too bad. But perhaps it should be even better.

Celebrating the Finnish independence day -- Comment()
Yesterday, December 6th, was the Finnish independence day. I celebrated by being together with the family. We went outside for a two-hour walk, even though the sidewalks and paths were slippery due to the melted show and ice. This wasn't a bad way of celebrating the occasion. We ate a couple of döner kebabs for dinner - perhaps not a traditional Finnish dish, but tasted good nevertheless.
