I was watching the news and was excited to find out the auto show is in town. Then a co-worker had a free ticket and asked me if I wanted it. I was glad to take it off his hands. I went on today and spent only about 1 1/2 hours at the show. It was very dissapointing to me. I thought there would be some great cars out there. There were some nice cars but nothing that would justify a “WOW” factor. The most interesting car was the Nissan Skyline, that is a beautiful car. Honorable mention would be the Lexus type F. Here are some pics I took.

January 3, 2009How to create an encrypted volume using TrueCrypt
January 2, 2009
My favorite file encryption tool is TrueCrypt. TrueCrypt is a great tool to encrypt a bunch of files at once in real time. You first have to create a volume, basically a volume is a container. Once you mount the volume you have an encrypted drive that you can place all your important files there. No one will be able to get to these files. As a bonus all the files on the encrypted volume will become completely hidden. The original post is here. Here is my version on how to create a volume where you can save all your files.
Step 1 – Create Volume
Step 2 – Create a file container
Step 3 – Select Standard TrueCrypt volume
Step 4 – Select the Volume Location and Name and save it to the desktop
Step 5 – Select your Encryption Options, I would stick to the defaults, but you can pick whatever encryption method you like
Step 6 – Type in the size you would like it to be. I always create a file that is smaller than my flash drive so that I can move it conveniently.
Step 7 – Create a password, the longer the better
Step 8 – Format the volume and you are done, mount the file and you have an encrypted volume.
