YCTB Vol. 1 No. 2 Introduction

Introduction    by Brendan Woo
The second edition has arrived! I have a couple things to share with you:

• Public Internet Security – Especially if you’re on the road, be careful about what you’re sending out into the air from your computer. Remember that if a wireless network has no password, then anyone can (fairly easily) intercept the data you’re transmitting. Steps such as using the VPN, using WPA wireless encryption (i.e. adding a password to your network), and using a secure connection on Gmail can keep your personal information safer. This article and related ones on the same site have some tips.
• Syntactic Structures Database – A little technical, but it might be interesting to take a look a this database that compares the structural grammar of the world’s languages: http://sswl.railsplayground.net/

Remember to start working on your Share Fair presentations, and I’ll see you in Changsha for conference (if not before)!
