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...

Which is the Real Poisson DAvril?
If youd like the backstory on the April Fools video making its way around Sun (below)... it goes like this.
My normally trustworthy administrator let me know I had a lunch appointment with my normally trustworthy friend, Ted. So I went to a normally trustworthy restaurant, where the normally trustworthy host walked me to my table - and past a series of video cameras I foolishly didnt notice. Ted lets me know hes managed to connect with Dan, a normally trustworthy colleague, whos put him in touch with a technical expert I might be interested in meeting.
Ted lets me know the guest is flying up from Los Angeles. And that hes been in an accident that might impair his ability to speak. Pay special attention at minute five, marking the first time Ive seen anyone make a chicken out of a dinner napkin.
Let me be the first to point out that the video shown was highly edited. The good (and, notwithstanding this prank, normally trustworthy) people who edited the footage exercised appropriate restraint for a global audience unaccustomed to diluvian drooling. How uncomfortable was it at the table? Having watched the unedited version with a Sun colleague before it was posted externally, she remarked, Look how well your Mother raised you, you didnt even stare.
