Security is a moral imperative. Let me know if you experience any problems.

Monday we'll start listing all the prizes for the contest. Once again I fell behind today. I thought I had completed most of the background projects I was working on. Then today, postnuke drops a security update. Backup, update, test on test server, update, test on main server. That took a long time. However, after that string of hack attacks last year, I can't take security lightly.

I had a scintillating discussion on user interfaces planned for today, but I've run out of time and energy. You'll have to wait until next week. I've also been trying to figure out a good way for PC to Mac to video conference. Something so simple shouldn't be so hard. Perhaps one of you experts can add some advice. I won't bore the rest of you with the details.

If you're having trouble coming up with entry ideas for the contest, I'd suggest you take a moment and read through the Games section. If you need a game, there's the War on Terror Demo I mentioned yesterday and there's a Commandos shooter demo (they promise it's tactical) at the Usual Suspects.

Finally, I wanted to add that The Outfit for the Xbox 360 has a new trailer out. It's looking like a team based Mercenaries, set in World War II with online multiplayer. Even though the graphics aren't killer, if it delivers all that, it should be quite fun. There should be a demo out in the next few weeks. I'll report back then.
