My profession grew out of my nerd heart. At home I tend to be a tad more heavy user than most homes. This is not for bragging, it just is how my pile-of-stuff became a small mountain.

The "cloud" is just 'someone-else's-computer'. I am astounded in the absurdity of "Trust" in 'someone-else's-computer'. Especially, at least, for things like password managerment or such.

Kovid is a remarkable programer and who already has my appreciation... I have a lot of respect for the Creator and the Creation. When I read Kovid's remarks, I always give the Creator a wide berth.
