It is my understanding that the number of hops within the Tor network is normally a fixed value, somewhere around 3. Given the potential for compromise of entrance/exit nodes in various countries, perhaps allowing a larger number of hops or even a randomly determined number of hops between two values might give more probability of not being detected. Could you comment on the number of hops chosen and how they relate to the probability of anonymity in the Tor network assuming all other suggested configurations have been realized.
Although its a fairly old release, I would suggest KeyRing (http://gnukeyring.sourceforge.net/) for the Palm. It has several conduits (Windows, Java, JPilot, etc.) to allow synching with your system. I have used it for years. One password, to get into the database, gets you into your password list. It has a random password generator (numbers letters up/lower case characters) - you could never accuse me of using dictionary breakable passwords. Actually after you have used a randomly generated password a few times it almost becomes automatic. I have given up on trying to remember more than about 2 passwords anyway.

You might want to consider the Java based SSL Explorer as a possibility. No client side code is required, just a browser and one hole punched through the firewall to the server.
I use a Palm - I've used one for many years now and I have to put my time on a timecard. I also occasionally look at where my time is going (something you need to do to make sure time management is working for you). Those two requirements caused me to look for a time measurement program in which I could just tap a line and start a timer, tap another line to start a different timer while saving the previous time (start and stop times) in a memo for that particular project/discussion/person/etc. Later I can come back and annotate what I did in each time period - when I have some breathing room. It also helps when you print out the memo as you can go over what you did during the day. I don't know about you but I've got meetings, demonstrations for customers, presentations, discussions in the bathroom/hallway on various topics, and interruptions from my fellow workers/bosses besides sitting in front of my computer typing code or producing documentation.
My program of choice is Titrax (not currently being updated) on a Palm at http://www.titrax.com/.

WebGUI from Plain Black (http://www.getwebgui.com/ has a number of features in a CMS that bear investigation. It is somewhat of a challenge to set up on a Linux Server, mainly because of the perl library requirements. However there is plenty of help available and WebGUI itself has a fairly long history. So see the WebGUI user community for their comments. I have used WebGUI to set up a church site in which I needed to be able to force login to get to some areas of the church site. I also needed to have individuals in charge of certain ministries be able to change their portion of the website (using just a browser) but restrict them from being able to change other parts of the website. I can also restrict what a given individual sees on the website by simply changing the viewing priviledges on a given page. WebGUI works on a plug-in style architecture so it is highly extensible. Blogs, uploaded user files (including photo libraries) from an individuals web browser are very easy to set up.

You might as a matter of course want to go over to http://www.pmi.org (Project Management Institute) and look into joining. That is the definative place to learn about project management itself. Suggest you think about joining and possibly signing up with PMI (there are likely to be local chapters around whom you can interact with).
There is also a little book published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers called "The Unwritten Laws of Engineering" by W.J. King (ISBN 0-7918-0641-3). It has a lot of common sense stuff about being the boss and getting along with your boss.

I work for a defense contractor and we check up on all degrees. I have worked for this company for almost 10 years and yes there has been more than one time that a newly hired person was sent packing for having "faked" his/her degree. We can't afford it in our business - and believe it or not the government checks up on the degrees and their accreditability in some of our contracts.
I will have to second that statement. It is very easy to set up and use. It is also easy to have several different streamers at the same time going to different ports. I use it on a home Linux server to stream music to other computers within my house and to stream MP3 audio from a Senior Adult Sunday School class that I teach. I do have some adults that might miss the class and want to catch up on what was said. You need to get GNUMP3D.
I only have one complaint - I haven't quite figured out how to get the correct sort order to come out on the HTML page it generates. Maybe I will try the new 2.7 version. Nice job Steve.
