Forgotten Key Passphrase

damnit damnit damnit damnit damnit damnit.

Somehow I managed to forget the passphrase to my GPG key. Ugh. Well… looks like I’ll be building a new one. Grrrrr. I imagine that means I forgot my SSH key passphrases too, right? Yup. Damn.

Okay… that’s it. Anyone know of any security issues with Revelation? If not, I’m gonna keep a record of this stuff in there from now on. At least then I only have one password to remember and it’s likely that I use it often enough not to forget it. I have a bunch of work passwords in Revelation now (as I don’t care so much about security on those) and it seems to work fine.

Grrr… this is so annoying.

Rails 0.11.0

Ladies and Gentlemen, really… does it get any better than this?

I was already working on my own little pile of code to allow a Rails ActionController to be run from cron. Additionally, in another world for another project, I was already working on a way to allow a Rails ActionMailer to *receive* mail. Well, it looks like “Rails”:http://rubyonrails.com/ 0.11.0 ( “released this morning”:http://weblog.rubyonrails.com/archives/2005/03/22/rails-0110-ajax-pagination-non-vhost-incoming-mail/ ) does both of those things for me.

In addition to that, Rails just got a lot easier to run out of a subdirectory of your document root without Virtual Hosting. It also got AJAX (I hate that buzzword) support, and a new Pagination helper.

Wow. I’ve said this before… and now I’m saying it again…

Web development just got a whole lot easier.
