GNUPg for secure communications
Over the last couple of years I have made multiple attempts to move over some of my friends/family and myself for secure email and communications via tools like GNUPg.But I think because of lack of ease of use it just doesnt go anywhere.Anyways I'm trying to see if I can restart that attempt , my main reason for renewed interest is mainly to put personal data like home address/phone number etc on my website encrypted so that only folks that I trust can see my data especially in my FOAF file.
I use GnuPG for *nix platforms and Gpg4win on Windows.
My public key is http://bhavesh.freeshell.org/keys/bhavesh.asc
Be sure to install the firefox extensionFiregpg as it will make your life easier with online mails like Yahoo/gmail etc.

Simple change to make pyblosxom posts xfolk(Microformat) compliant
If you want all your blogposts generated by pyblosxom to
xfolk(Microformat) compliant then you can make the following changes
marked in Bold to your story.html in the flavors directory.
<div
class="xfolkentry">
<h4><a class="taggedlink" name="$fn" href="$base_url/$file_path_urlencoded.$flavour">$title</a></h4>
<div class="blosxomStory">
$body
<p>
posted at: $ti | category: <a href="$base_url/$absolute_path_urlencoded" title
="path">/$absolute_path</a> | <a href="$base_url/$file_path_urlencoded.$flavour"
>permanent link to this entry</a>
</p>
</div>
</div>
Oh by the way in order to see these changes in action you can use the operator extension for firefox.
All blog posts on this blog are xfolk compliant.

Friend of a Friend(FOAF)
Recently I wanted to check out the semantic web concept as I strongly believe that over the next couple of years we will be moving to semantic web as that seems to be a natural progression of loosely coded html and data scattered in various formats like text/html etc.
Anyways , FOAF is a nice concept similar to various other YASN(yet another Social Network) like myspace/linkedin etc the only think is that it is open in the sense that there is no company behind it who can lock your data.
I created a FOAF file describing myself and it is located at My FOAF.To read this you can use a FOAF explorer
You can read more about semantic web at http://semanticweb.org or more about FOAF at http://www.foaf-project.org/
There is a nice addon for firefox for semantic web it is called Semantic Radar
