I’ve mentioned a couple times before that I used KeePassX, the unofficial Linux port of the highly-thought-of KeePass Password Safe. A few months ago I decided that I’d gotten tired of using it… KeePassX had only basic password management features, it lacked most of the nice features that I heard KeePass had, like automatically and …
(In part 1, I talked about discovering a few weeks ago that there’s a name for the differences between myself and others, High-Functioning Autism, referred to as HFA from here on.

When I was in my late twenties, I ran across a checklist for depression. I was shocked to discover that I had nearly every symptom listed on it, and had for more than twenty years. I got treatment for it and discovered that life was nowhere near as difficult, painful, and pointless as it had …
