Computing and Technology Links
Various technology links that I find useful or I think deserve sharing
- Fedora Linux: Jeff’s current favorite distro
- eviscerati.org: Because the software industry had it coming.
- The Internet:
- DNS2Go: How I’m able to find my home Linux box when I’m away from home
- Mozilla Firefox: A real Web browser for real people
- Mozilla Thunderbird: Reclaim your inbox
- PuTTY: One of, if not the best SSH clients available for Windows (and UN*X). One of the first third-party pieces of software I install on trusted computers.
- WinSCP: This has replaced FileZilla as my current favorite SFTP client. It doesn’t do regular FTP It now supports regular FTP, but more importantly it does public key authentication, which more important to me now. Open Source, of course.
- GAIMPidgin: Why use five or more IM clients when only one is needed? Formerly known as GAIM, I’ve switched to using the Open Source Pidgin over my old favorite, Trillian, in part because the former is free, but also because development on the latter has been extremely slow and snapshots of the next version appear to have too much eye candy bloat for my tastes.
- Cryptography:
- GNU Privacy Guard: For the paranoid tin foil hat wearer in all of us
- Enigmail: The glue that lets Thunderbird and GnuPG talk together
- GPGee-GNU Privacy Guard Explorer Extension: A nice shell extension for Windows Explorer that makes encrypting and signing files with GnuPG a snap
- TrueCrypt: Free open-source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux (how Jeff keeps his secret plot outlines secret)
- Keyring for PalmOS: Store encrypted passwords and phrases on your Palm
- Off-the-Record Messaging: Encrypt your IMs with strong public key cryptography. A Pidgin plugin is available on the site, as well as a proxy for virtually any AIM client and a library/toolkit for including into other IM clients. A third-party port for Trillian is also available.
- Pidgin-Encryption: Transparently encrypt your instant messages in Pidgin with RSA encryption
- Programming:
- ActiveState: Perl for Windows
- Eclipse: Open Source IDE for Java and many other languages (via plugins; EPIC supports Perl)
- Microsoft Visual Studio Express: Free MS development tools; I’m using Visual C# myself
- TortoiseSVN: Easy SVN version control on Windows

Friends of Jeff
People of note… mostly for their unfortunate association to me. Pity them.
- Beakers and Cauldrons: The blog of my friend Dennis, who is a buddy of mine from junior high through college. Warning: He likes Harry Potter. A lot.
- The Rambling: The blog of my friend Erik, who is a buddy of mine since junior high. Expect ramblings. Because… he’s the Rambler. Ramblers do that.
