So, one of the things I decided to do with the transition to my new PGP key was add a small JPEG photo (my common avatar, which is indeed a photo of me) as a UID. This is something OpenPGP keys have supported for some time, it doesn’t add too much to the keysize (as long as you keep the photo small, which I did), it helps people to identify me, and ties the key more firmly to my IRL identity.
I then discovered a problem: some old keyservers, like pgp.mit.edu, *will not* accept keys with photo UIDs. It’s not that they ignore the photo, it’s that they simply refuse the key!
So, with the help of Daniel Kahn Gillmor, I have discovered the strategy for uploading these keys to the old keyservers using the CLI interface to GnuPG (which is what I normally use for my OpenPGP stuff).
cd /tmp/
mkdir -m 0700 testring
gpg --export KEYID | GNUPGHOME=/tmp/testring gpg --import
GNUPGHOME=/tmp/testring gpg --edit-key KEYID
# Select the photo UID by typing it’s number
deluid
save
GNUPGHOME=/tmp/testring gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --send KEYID
rm -rf /tmp/testring
Many people have used and loved, Free Youtube (or FYT), my Greasemonkey script that allows people to use Youtube (and other video sharing sites like Google Video, blip.tv, and others) wthout having a Flash player installed. This is useful for the many people who are on hardware or OSs not supported by Adobe, or those who refuse to install the hideous thing on matters of strong principle.
Now, this freedom cane be taken outside of browsers like Firefox and Epiphany that have userscript functionality. Today, right here in this post, I am releasing a version of FYT as a bookmarklet! (Kudos to Christopher Vollick for having the idea.)

And, for those of you who’s browsers don’t have a working bookmark system, or one that doesn’t support bookmarklets, just save this string somewhere:
Junt cut-n-paste it to your address bar and hit Enter and FYT will process the current page.
In line with my last post I have also created a plugin that adds <link> tags to your <head> section on appropriate pages for rel=first and rel=last, attributes that allow browsers and others to easily discover the first and last page in a set of pages.
The plugin also provides utility functions for getting this information so that you can add human-visible <a> tags, if you prefer.
