In the context of another column overly-focused on Chandler vs. Outlook from CW360.com, this biographical tidbit:

"However, the intellectual Kapor had, sensibly, retired at the height of his fame, co-founded the Electronic Frontier Foundation and pursued his real interest: the translation of ancient Semitic languages."

Wry British humor or a howler? You decide.

P.S. Mail to columnist Simon Moores bounced.

For the right person, this is one cool job.

OSAF is looking for a systems-oriented programmer with deep expertise in security and networking who loves to write high quality code in C or C++ and Python for a San Francisco-based position. We're looking for more of an implementer than a guru, with a broad background in cryptographic techniques and algorithms and network protocols. The ideal candidate has experience contributing to a significant project, preferably open source, and familiarity working with the SSLeay and/or Crypto++ libraries, as well as secure email frameworks like S/MIME or OpenPGP. He or she should also have experience implementing and deploying commonly used network protocols, including newer ones like Jabber/XMPP and BXXP/BEEP and should enjoy being part of a passionate, seasoned team working on innovative, widely used applications. Inquiries to jobs@osafoundation.org.

I'm going to attempt to resume posting regularly. I appreciate the discipline of those who can.
