More news and interesting tidbits:

• Nathan McFarland has ported my PHP netgrowl code to Perl (much better than my own efforts) therefore freeing me to start thinking about other stuff (like a Python server, or maybe even a Ruby client, unless someone is doing that one already).

• Unsafe Safes (via Schneier).
• A very useful PDF (from).
• Evolution has been bumped to 2.1.1 as well, including some Exchange connector fixes. I have a love-hate relationship with it, in the sense that I love its potential but hate the current GUI and WebDAV implementation...
