Link: a great post on e-mail security issues

I apologize for all of these nubbins; there’s just too much going on on the web today! If you have any interest in computer security issues, make sure to read Michael Wahlster’s post Secrets on a Postcard, in which he argues (quite persuasively!) that sending confidential documents by standard (unsecure) e-mail is a major security risk for translators and clients alike. I was amazed to read that in over 10 years of offering to send confidential documents by encrypted e-mail, Michael has never had a client take him up on the offer. Check out his post for the full story!

    Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.
