wow. im crazy skeptical about these sorts of things, but im pretty sure i feel a little bit high right now listening to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cHjaJRl1Qo my skeptical nature makes it seem unlikely that its pacebo... but i still have a hard time believing it even though i think i can feel it because it just seems like such a ridiculous thing. either way my mind is blown.

At this point I find myself reading research papers about messaging networks and anonymity on my way to work. So it is indeed a turn around. Though that doesn't mean that there aren't interesting tools and programs I don't know about and I would always like to learn more.

The last three posts (prior to DeafBoy...he snuck in post while I was writing) put a huge grin on my face. That was funny. I to would have made the same simple mistake. Its crazy the OP didn't know about those other legacy items and ends up authoring bitmessage. That was a complete circle around! Great gift back to the community.

Very amazing stuff. It's very cool to see someone go from being a newbie to creating Bitmessage.

time for a bump to add bitmessage to the list. what a great little program

Uh. The OP is the author of Bitmessage Wink

wow coincidence, didn't even know that

so he finds out about bitcoin, then discovers all this other cool technology he didn't know about, and then invents bitmessage

nice one

Jitsi looked interested as I really wanted something like this to replace Skype. But then I saw it was Java based and I hate Java apps. So... what a bummer. I stopped the install.

Isn't there something like this that isn't Java based?

What is wrong with java?

i hope he doesn't have an android phone, coz if he does, i've got some bad news.

Wood. Self-replicating carbon nano-composite. Distills water, produces oxygen, filters air, makes food, sequesters carbon, improves soil, creates microclimates, shelters small animals. Useful for making houses, furniture, heating, storing information, wiping your butt.

So that has me worried: What other technologies should I really be aware of and using that I am not using (or that most people are not using)?

Microfilm/microfiche. Stores data optically for approximately 300 years. Can be read with a magnifier and light source. I predict that in the future, this will be used to store "proven correct" source code and circuit diagrams.

Pencil/Paper. Works at -30 Celcius, does not require power. Does not work well when wet though.

Bicycle. More likely to be maintainable in a post-apocalyptic world than your car. Faster, more efficient than walking.

Fight fire with photos.

I figured it was worthwhile to bump this. Plus, I had one to add.

Tails--Basically a privacy centered OS you can boot on any computer that allows you to boot from a USB drive. I carry it around on a 8GB USB. Pretty cool. The only problem I've had is booting it on a computer which uses Broadcom wireless cards. It doesn't have the drivers for it. So unless you can do a wired connection, it won't connect to the internet.

Also, this, for great justice.
