flotsam, jetsam, lagan
flotsam and jetsam are words that describe goods of potential value that have been thrown into the ocean. There is a technical difference between the two: jetsam has been voluntarily cast into the sea by the crew of a ship in order to lighten it in an emergency; while flotsam describes goods that float on the water, that have arrived there by shipwreck or some other indeliberate process. A third category, ligan (or lagan), describes goods that have been marked by being tied to a buoy so that its owner can find and retrieve it later. —[wikipedia]

some pages might use encryption to protect you and us from prying eyes. if your browser complains about an unknown certificate authority d2h.net, that is then due to the fact that i couldn’t be bothered to fork out enough of my hard earned cash (hah!) to pay for a “proper” server certificate. you might want to install our d2h.net certificate authority’s certificate.
