Xspot: "Fugu is a graphical frontend to the commandline Secure File Transfer application (SFTP). SFTP is similar to FTP, but unlike FTP, the entire session is encrypted, meaning no passwords are sent in cleartext form, and is thus much less vulnerable to third-party interception. Fugu also includes support for SCP file transfers, and the ability to create secure tunnels vi SSH."

Powerpoint is evil: "I hate Powerpoint. [...] Actually - I don't hate Powerpoint. I hate the presentation culture that expects me to stand up and talk in front of a screen full of silly dot points. [...] I write well, and I speak fairly well. I love telling stories as part of my presentations - I watch the audience, and stories are the parts that people really listen to. [...] However, when I'm forced to distil an otherwise good story into a few dot points, all of the power of the story and the elegance of the narrative disappears. I am held to the rigid listing of points on a screen. They control me and try to make me elaborate on each as a point, rather than weaving them together into something lovely." [DonnaM]
