Re:Missing features wishlist - todo list

I took a first stab at adding a todo list to the sidebar of the Calendar page. It still needs quite a bit of work, right now it stores three entries locally; but it's a skeleton for me or someone else to make it store todo entries in a Calendar entry, in S3, your own server, etc etc:
I think what most threads that ask "why not use GPG/PGP/Enigmail/etc" are not seeing is that the problem the Ciphire people are trying to fix is that of key exchange, not actual encryption/decryption.
Currently, that I know of, no email encryption plugin/system like the ones mentioned here make it completely transparent for users to fetch other people's public keys and use them to encrypt mail. Usually you have to first get someone's public key, either from them or by checking a server (like MIT PGP repository, etc) that does not necessarily do any kind of verification. So I could get a key for "foo@bar.com" even if I don't own that address. Then there can be multiple keys for foo@bar.com and you have to physically check with the recipient for the right fingerprint. And in any case I can only choose to encrypt email that is being sent to people of whom I know I have their correct keys.
The whole point of Ciphire is that it will try to encrypt if possible without the user having to worry about any of that. And yes, they are a centralized CA, but you don't actually have to completly trust them either. Check their technical intro page for a summary of their nifty hash fingerprinting mechanism for verifying certificate integrity.
And as some people have pointed out, you don't have to install a plugin, it works by using TCP hooks (not a server process either). So ideally more and more people (including non-techies) could just install it and forget, and eventually more and more email will start being sent encrypted (as more users register).
I am skeptical about doing pair programming remotely... From my (limited) experience you need to be physically next to the other person, and in fact the whole point is that there is one keyboard that you take turns on, not simultaneous typing.
In fact Kent Beck (inventor of XP) was at my school recently, and I asked him what he thought about this kind of "remote pair programming" stuff. His answer (paraphrased): "Forget it. You need to be able to smell the other person's farts".
I *think* that they are actually filming everything at once, but releasing the three parts every one year mostly for post-production and marketing reasons. So, it's almost certain that either all three movies will come out, or none at all (and I'm sure they'll all come out:).
Here's the URL for the 27.5MB 640x320 mov, direct from akamai.net. I tried severaly times putting this all together and properly "a href"'d, but slashdot just gives me a "Lameness filter encountered: post aborted" (is that because the URL is too long or something???)... so you'll have to cut-and-paste from below. SOrry!

The only downside is, it breaks webmail.
Just HOW paraphrased is that quote? We are discussing a change to XP here and this is a side effect that has not occured to me.
He actually said that you had to be able to smell the persons's farts.
