A few useful tips. If you have an Apple Mac, you can securely erase files from your hard drive using the following command line:

$ srm -zsv <filename>

And, to securely erase a whole folder, run this:

$ srm -rmv <folder>

On a completely different subject here are the directions to group several email addresses in Gmail. I don't quite understand why they make it so difficult.

Finally, if you are a user of Pidgin, the instant messaging client, you might be interested in their excellent collection of third-party plugins. I recently installed the one for the Telegram instant messaging service, and it worked very well. There are many others to choose from. {link to this entry}
