Don't Shout At Your Computer
I got pointed in the direction of this whilst listening to Security Now. This is one of those things that when I heard it I thought "That's random" but as I thought about it more I thought "That actually makes sense".
Random Stuff
HISTORY CHANNEL
Measured in human terms, the Internet - like the mouse - is approaching middle age. The Web is barely a teenager but, depending on exactly where you start counting from, the Net is nearer forty already.

Bit of a short article this time around, I'd hoped to have been able to afford to be somewhat further along with this mini project by now. So I'll just cover the starting of the design phase.
