Re: [BLUG] Talk: Using computers to target voters

While you're thinking about politics and computers:

http://www.geek-pac.org/blog/

I heard somebody talk about this project at the last Ohio LinuxFest,
and it was interesting enough that I thought about it again when I
read tomorrow topic.

It's an actual Political Action Committee, and their "Voter
Information Project" software is free.

I hope you're all having a wonderful day!

Oh is that finally here. For those of you who scoff at the idea that
Unix epoch time could have meaning, might not know when 1,000,000,000
unix epoch seconds happened. Sept. 9th, 2001.

And on 500,000,000 unix epoch seconds..... actually nothing happened. j/k

Subject: [BLUG] look for encryption solution for a USB drive

I use the computers on campus frequently and use a usb drive for
portable apps and to store my documents. I had been wanting to find
some sort of encryption solution for a while, but of course it takes me
actually losing a drive to decide to find one. Truecrypt looks pretty
cool, and they even have a traveler mode whereby you can encrypt parts
of the drive and have an executable version of truecrypt to decrypt the
files w/out having to install it. However, even this mode requires admin
access. Short of buying a usb drive with some sort of built in
encryption option, is there are software solution that doesn't require
root access? It would also be really nice if it wasn't windows only as
I use both pcs and macs on campus and ubuntu/vista at home.

thanks
Ben
