In all honesty, I haven't had many computer fuck ups. One that does spring to mind is when my hard drive crashed (partly my fault) and I didn't have any backups of all the data on it. Took me several days of running various recovery programs to get most of it back. Now I have offline and online backups running regularly.

They seem pretty trustworthy to me, but there are other sites dealing with specific scams and frauds. Part of my job involves getting scam / phishing websites taken down. Another part of my job involves setting them up. Fun times.

That said, I do know some ruby (and ruby is awesome), and I'm learning python because it's a very versatile language. I do bash scripting a lot as well.
