something old, something new

natch.net posts an old entertainment industry license — a patent license on a 1906 recording.

and encryption awesomeness: firegpg. works beautifully in gmail. if you’re a mac user you’ll have to specify the gpg path in firefox tools > gpg > options; the default install is /usr/local/bin/gpg . (joe hall who pointed it to me is also awesome.)

    one note: GMail’s auto-save feature (which you cannot disable) makes this a bit less secure… I’d recommend authoring email in an external application and then pasting it into GMail before crypt and send… this will minimize the chances that auto-save sends sensitive stuff up to Google’s servers.
