<p>I travel with a laptop everyday: to and from work, to coffee shops or to friends’ houses. While I use new, randomly generated passwords (courtesy <a href="http://www.adel.nursat.kz/apg/">apg</a>) my home directory had not the same level of security.</p>

<p>I had the good fortune to attend a talk given by <a href="http://www.kernelthread.com/">Amit Singh</a> at the <a href="http://www.seattlexcoders.org/">Seattle Xcoders</a> meeting held in the Google offices in Fremont.</p>

<p>I decided tonight was the night to try <a href="http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6/">Python2.6a3</a> on my macbook pro with a goal of getting <a href="http://code.google.com/p/pysmug/">pysmug</a> to run on it.</p>
