I discovered Cyanide and Happiness on YouTube the other day. It’s hilarious.
Also, I found a way to use GPG signing and encryption in Apple’s Mail app.
First, quit Mail. I know it’s hard, but you can do it!
Second, back up your GPG keys and REMOVE YOUR EXISTING ~/.gnupg directory if it exists. The configuration file that already exists somehow conflicts with the pinentry app that prompts for your GPG password. I back up my keys this way:
$ gpg -a –export me@ozymo.com >> me_ozymo.com.asc$ gpg -a –export-secret-key me@ozymo.com >> me_ozymo.com.asc
Note that this will store your PRIVATE key in the file as well. This is necessary for importing, but not ideal to keep around on some random computer. Use your head.
Third, download this file. If you don’t trust me, look here on page 6. Or here. Same file. Once it downloads, drag it into ~/Library/Mail/Bundles. If there is already a GPGMail.mailbundle there, remove it and drop the new one in place.
Fourth, open Mail.
Fifth, be happy. And check out Cyanide and Happiness. It’s REALLY funny. I laughed my ass off and sewed it to a chair.
