Have you ever felt hesitant to mention a gemlog find for fear of what one imagines one's online reputation to be possibly undermining *theirs* in a guilt by association kind of way?
Weird. Today I used gpg for the first time in ages. And in the good deed not going unpunished zone (i.e. using gpg per recipient request), it turns out that when I send others email containing encrypted and "armored" text, the copy that winds up in my "Sent" folder is inaccessible by the email service I used to send it....

Okay... just back from transferring some local store prescriptions associated with previous insurance to home delivery of the same prescriptions, but now to be covered by new insurance.
Of *course* the online way to do that didn't work... and of *course* it was something as ridiculous as a "CONTINUE" button doing nothing... (yet another in a long line of f-you-very-much javascript experiences)
Which reminds me: the login page for the web site for the new medical insurance invariably shows a "Which language?" kind of pop up that not only does nothing because NONE OF THE EFFING BUTTONS ARE EFFING CLICKABLE, but also can't be dismissed. So the only way I can login to the f***er is to let that page *start* loading, and then hammer on the ESC key to avoid the pop up appearing. But, of course, that's not foolproof: if I give it too much time before ESC the pop up appears ("DOH!!!"), and if I don't give it enough time there apparently isn't enough javascript loaded to handle logging in....
