PGP Email Encryption With Gmail POP, GnuPG, Thunderbird & Enigmail
I was curious to see how this whole email encryption thing worked, so I decided to try it out for myself. Seems to work well, although I've only got myself to send encrypted emails to, so thought I might write up this quick guide.
Here's what you need:
Gmail
Thunderbird
GnuPG
Enigmail
So anyway, get all these.
Turn on POP access in your Gmail account.
Set up Thunderbird with pop.gmail.com port 995 SSL etc like they tell you.
Install the windows binary of GPG
Install the Enigmail entension in Thunderbird under the tools menu.
Under the OpenPGP Menu -> Preferences browse to the GPG executable.
OpenPGP -> Key Management -> Generate -> New Key Pair. Enter a good passphrase and Generate Key. Upload your key to the public keyserver if you want.
In Tools -> Account Settings -> OpenPGP Security. Enable OpenPGP Support.
That's it!
Now send me a secure email using my public key below so I can finally see if this actually works :)
Thanks, bye.

new zealand
hi, got dragged to nz again... just letting you all know. im also using the same mob number as before, im on roam so there is no need for any international prefixes or anything.
done a little exploring, and attempts at shopping, got caught in the pouring rain walking back from the local shops yesterday... (that was fun... & cold) thankfully the weather is warm though since i refused to pack any warmer clothes.
anyways will be back soon, see you all then

The Robot Bartender
A man enters a bar and orders a drink. The bar has a robot bartender, who serves him a perfectly prepared cocktail, and then asks him, "What's your IQ?"
The man replies, "150", and the robot proceeds to make conversation about global warming factors, quantum physics, spirituality, environmental interconnectedness, string theory, nano-technology, and sexual proclivities.
The customer is very impressed and thinks, "This is really cool." He then decides to test the robot, so he walks out of the bar, turns around, and comes back in for another drink. Again, the robot serves him the perfectly prepared drink, and again asks him, "What's your IQ?"
The man responds, "Oh, about a 100."
Immediately the robot starts talking, but this time, he talks about football, NASCAR, baseball, super models, favorite fast foods, guns, and women's breasts.
Now really impressed, the man leaves the bar, and decides to give the robot one more test. He heads out, comes back, and again the robot serves him and asks, "What's your IQ?"
The man replies, "Er....I think maybe it's 50....."
The robot replies very slowly, "So........ya........gonna.......vote...... for.......Bush......again...?
