birthday reminders, vCard to e-mail
Posted by on August 16, 2010
A couple of months ago I wrote a Python script which parses my vCard address book and reminds me about upcoming birthdays. Given that it has worked well for me I figured I would share it with the rest of you. http://bitbucket.org/andol/birthdays/ I have not added any e-mail capabilities to the script, as I find [...]
OpenPGP key transition
Posted by on August 15, 2010
I’ve recently set up a stronger (4096R) OpenPGP key, and will be transitioning away from my old (1024D) one. To a large extent this is about being able to use the SHA-2 family for signatures.

Using the YubiKey
Posted by on March 7, 2010
One of the keys I carry around on my keyring is a YubiKey. This post really isn’t about the YubiKey itself, but more about me sharing a few insights I’ve gained on using the key. If you already run a WordPress blog you can easily turn it into an OpenID provider to be used with [...]

Seems like there has been quite a few visitors coming to this blog after having done a google search on xkcd system administrator. To spare future visitors the disappointment I might just as well post the content I believe they were looking for. (See xkcd #705 for the full size original.)
