Mark Wielaard: New GPG key.
Finally created a new GPG key using gnupg. The old one was a DSA/1024 bits one and 8 years old. The new one is a RSA/2048 bits one. I will use the new one in the future to sign any release tarballs I might create. pub 2048R/57816A6A 2011-01-29 Key f...

Device Ownership: Desktop Computer and Portable Devices with Internet Connectivity
This past week's java.net poll and the poll that preceded it asked people about the number of desktop computers and Internet-capable portable devices they own, respectively. The results were surprisingly similar. I plan to re-ask these questions periodically so we can observe the trends over time.
328 votes were cast in last week's poll. The exact question and results were:
How many desktop computers do you own?
9% (30 votes) - 5 or more
19% (61 votes) - 3 or 4
24% (80 votes) - 2
34% (111 votes) - 1
14% (46 votes) - None
This result is remarkably similar to the results of last week's poll. Of course, neither poll is scientific -- but it's still interesting to compare the results:
