Have been working on getting Brackup to work for my website today. Basically I'm a bit confuzzled on how to get GPG set up. Not sure why I can't find quite the information I want. What is my UID? How do I get my public key as a text file? Why can't I delete my existing key and start over?

Besides that, though I got the backup and restore to work properly, I also got an error message at one point, and couldn't get around it except by deleting a .db (?) file that was stored with the backup chunks. Not sure what caused that, nor if I should reconsider using Brackup to backup my site. It looks like the best option I've got (free, works on Dreamhost, sends to Amazon A3)... Mr Fitzpatrick doesn't seem to be actively working on the code; not sure that I want to dig in and start changing things, but I'm not completely adverse to the idea.

Only Kevin and I in I-group tonight. We met in Takadanobaba and ended up at an Indian place cause Ben's Cafe is closed on Mondays in July and August. Kevin liked the food better than the Indian place in Gotanda, but it was all the same to me. Food is food. He told me about getting an email from one of his students, an Italian woman who owns a book publishing company. She wants him to give her a crash course on shamanism before she heads down to Australia for some shamanic stuff. Wow! Could work out that Kevin can publish some books in Europe through her company. That would be awesome!

Anyway, as always, I enjoyed chatting with Kevin, and told him the cool things that have happened in my life. He said the dream I had after Ensofic Ray seemed "significant," and was glad to hear that good news. A woman started smoking at a nearby table, and we dashed out just before her husband started to puff up his own kid-killin' cancer cane. Yuck; their poor daughter!

Kevin showed me the local art theater, lamenting, however, that all the subtitles are only in Japanese (of course). We stopped in Starbucks for a drink and more stories and jokes. Good times; I like Kevin.
