Update: Keeping the freeze links up to date on this post, I had to use it again recently and a couple were dead

Because of the Equifax information breach, many people are curious about how they can protect their identity.

I think many people think well, the hackers have all my info, I can’t do anything, right?

You should assume your information has been compromised.

What can you do about it? Literally the cheapest and easiest way to protect your identity is to freeze your credit file.

We’ve been using the excellent Resin platform for deploying Raspberry Pi’s en masse at work. One of the issues we frequently have is the wifi we’re connecting to is either unknown, or incorrect, so we have to update the wifi configuration on a group of devices. Because this need was not met by either Resin-wifi-connect or anything else, we wrote a tiny app to pick configuration value out of the Resin environment variables.

Small update to the theme I released last year. This one is a variation on what I pushed out, but has a little bit of a typographic nod to the Palm Pre (yes, that Palm Pre). I’ve been using it for a while, and haven’t updated this repo in a bit. Download from GitHub and give it a whirl. I’ve deprecated the ‘Day’ version because nobody was using it (including myself) and I didn’t really feel like maintaining it.

Updated my ‘Smoked’ theme package for the excellent Alfred. I took a bit more time on these than I did on the first release. There’s a new halo around the entire window, something that wasn’t possible in the earlier versions of Alfred.

The screenshots of these are kind of difficult because the OS X capture doesn’t render the blur filter correctly. The only real difference is that the sub-title on the non-selected items isn’t visible by default.
