every six months or so I try to remind people of two things. So it's about that time.
1. If you are sexually active and haven't done so lately GO GET TESTED! It's the responsible thing to do.
2. If you haven't changed your passwords lately, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS! I know of too many people whose boyfriends have read their email or had blogs compromised by adversaries. I've been the victim of identity theft three times now. CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS!
2.5 If you're REALLY feeling like protecting your information put all of your important documents on an encrypted partition. There is free software that will let you do this. I have NOTHING of consequence on my system that is not encrypted. Steal my hardware if you will, you still won't get my data.
