Today I was playing with GnuPG, trying to add a couple of public keys to an “external” keyring (some random file, not my own keyring). Why? you ask. Well, I was preparing some Debian package containing GPG keys for APT repository signing (like debian-archive-keyring and such). The point is, I was really confused for quite [...]

YAPC::Europe 2008
It’s funny. One month ago, I had never been to Copenhagen. I had two weeks of vacation, so I spent a couple of days there and got to know the city. A couple of weeks later, I’m back in Copenhagen for the YACP::Europe 2008. In short, the talks were good. Not fantastic on average, but [...]

I’ve also slowly becoming kind of active again in Debian (especially helping dhelp), although I admit not being very active in any other software project (Haberdasher feels kind [...]
The Big Picture
Lately I have been thinking a lot, not to say “obsessed”, with the big picture. I can’t but wonder if that is a general IT industry problem, that big picture. I mean missing it. My current theory is that computer work is just too hard (or tools not advanced enough?), and there is too much [...]
