TrueCrypt and a free USB drive

TrueCrypt is awesome... just stumbled across this (thanks Bruce!). Currently I use cryptainer, but this is free, and far more flexible... and as the authors say, TrueCrypt is "The only free open-source OTFE software for Windows XP that provides plausible deniability". Something most presidents only wish they had :-)

Microsoft shipped me a USB memory stick today - it's only 30 megs, but really appreciated none the less! It contained some MSDN books, which to be honest I wasn't interested in... they sent it with a note which said thanks for taking part in our recent security seminar. MS is really punting security at the moment - they're making huge strides towards a better, brighter, happier future for all of us in my opinion (current security concerns not withstanding :-)
