READIN started out as a place for me to keep track of what I am reading, and to learn (slowly, slowly) how to design a web site.

There has been some mission drift here and there, but in general that's still what it is. Some of the main things I write about here are reading books, listening to (and playing) music, and watching the movies. Also I write about the work I do with my hands and with my head; and of course about bringing up Sylvia.

The site is a bit of a work in progress. New features will come on-line now and then; and you will occasionally get error messages in place of the blog, for the forseeable future. Cut me some slack, I'm just doing it for fun! And if you see an error message you think I should know about, please drop me a line. READIN source code is PHP and CSS, and available on request, in case you want to see how it works.

See my reading list for what I'm interested in this year.

READIN has been visited approximately 236,737 times since October, 2007.

🦋 GMail and Encryption

Here's how you can use GMail in an encrypted fashion:

In GMail Settings, "General" tab, select "Always use https". Now every time you open GMail in your browser, the site will be loaded using SSL encryption.
If you use GMail Notifier, download the patch to make it use https. The patch is available from Google's GMail Notifier page.

Worth doing -- it makes your email traffic less visible to snoopers.
