OK. I've finally revoked the self-signatures of two OpenPGP keys of which I had misplaced (forgotten) the passphrases for: 2D7CC572 and A679E10C. I've also revoked the signature of my current key, 206C5AFD, from the these public keys as well. The updated public keys have been uploaded to the keyserver at wwwkeys.pgp.net. They are also available for download from the OpenPGP directory of this site. All keys and revocation certificates have been signed with my current key as well, for validation. What is OpenPGP, and why is this update so important? OpenPGP is a public key encryption standard derived from PGP, or Pretty Good Privacy. It is currently implemented in the toolset called GnuPG, a GNU Free Software replacement for PGP. These tools allow you to sign and encrypt documents, such as emails, in a secure and safe manner. You can find out more about these tools at http://www.openpgp.org and http://www.gnupg.org. Anyway, given that the above is such a serious and somber post, I'll add that I'm quite excited about the snow that we're predicted to receive today! I say predicted, because I have yet to see a flake in Minneapolis, MN, USA. I'm still optimistic! Oh, well. In case I don't run into you somewhere, have a good weekend! Later! ^chewie
