I have a new PGP key…

February 25, 2014

I have a new PGP key. It can be found in the ‘About’ page of this site.

I took may Mac to the Genius Bar recently and the genius decided I need to do a full clean reinstall. I had done a Time Machine backup before going, so I didn’t think much of it.

Unfortunately, I foolishly neglected to export my private key to a USB before doing the reinstall. I thought I would get my key back by restoring from the backup. Newsflash: that doesn’t work.

So I can’t decrypt anything encrypted to my old key. Apologies for any inconvenience this causes.

  As it is a case yet to be heard before the courts I risked contempt of court by commenting on it

Despite over a hundred kills, he had been released from prison due to Brazilian laws not allowing anyone to spend over 30 years incarcerated (and even so, he spent more than that in prison). A few

The Outlaw Cult

My latest Fairfax feature appears in tomorrow’s edition of The Age, but is already up online. I briefly mention the Rialto BASE jumpers and D.B.
