I've been using this for about a month now and it's great. It's just encrypted text files but that's all it really needs to be.

I know the rainbow light thing is so it doesn't just look like an aluminum tube, but I hope you can turn that off. I wouldn't want my battery to sit there and continually use power to light up the HEY LOOK AT ME lights.

If I blogged about my job and my boss read it, I'd get fired. He once said that the solution for alternative energy is cars with huge springs in them. When you wanted to go somewhere you'd just wind them up. There's no way

80 hour weeks? Hell no, if that's what it is then I don't want to be a real programmer either. Maybe it's because I'm old and cynical, but you young guys can knock yourself out. If you're working that hard you be
