It's not a blog, it's a feature

The weather is cold and wet - this is the right time to make party!! :)
If you don't know how, here is a hint: Go to the Rockhouse in Salzburg (a great concert location with cult factor) on the 10th of November and enjoy the "Punk is Dead"-Tour.
3 feet smaller is part of the line-up, an Austrian punk band which we liked very much at the frequency festival, believe me, they know how to rock the stage.

See you there, jumping and flipping out ...
By the way, the new album of 3 feet smaller - 3rd Strike is great and really worth to listen to!

Two open-source tools can help on this way - both with simple usage and abolutely for free!

First SpamGourment - a really nice idea and practical for web-sides where you need an e-mail address to validate your registration (e.g.: a forum). By the help of SpamGourment you can create a temporary address to receive a specified number of mails, which are sent to your real e-mail address. All other mails are discarded and so no SPAM will receive you over this registration.

The second one to is to encrypt your e-mails to increase the costs reading them unwanted. GNUPG is the tool of my choice. You only have to create a public key and to exchange it with your communication partners to protect your privacy.

Never forget - many big brothers are watching you!!
