Send stealthy, encrypted missives via the web with Norbt
I don't often need to send ultra-secure messages to people. There's just not all that much highly-sensitive information I need to communicate. If I did, though, Norbt would be a slick way to do it.
Norbt (not to be confused with Eddie Murphy's epic film character) uses client side, browser-based cryptography to secure your transmissions. Your recipient must correctly answer the secret question. Once they do, your note is decrypted and displayed for their eyes only.
You also need to provide a password when creating your Norbt - just in case you need to go back and change some of the details.
Even if you don't have a practical reason to use a service like Norbt, it's still a fun way for you and your pals to feel like you're part of some elite spy network.
This post will self destruct in ten seconds.

Believe it or not, Atari have just released a bunch of old games on their own website. These aren't clones, these aren't even 'loving interpretations' -- these are the real thing, remade by Atari themselves. This comes as part of a re-launch for the Atari website which includes an online store.
I warn you, if you read on, this might turn into more than just a mere ten-minute time-waster.

That's pretty neat. I loved my spy markers.
But isn't 6 * 9 = 54, not 42. Oh well.

42 is the answer to the Ultimate Question so 6 * 9 = 42.
