publickey.asc updated with current version of public key.

I only noticed I had a stale key posted after Jeff of NFSnet helpfully copy and pasted the name on the key in my support request reply. The old key is availible at publickey.old.asc, if for some reason you need it. I can't think of any circumstanced under which you would need it, since I don't have the private key anymore, and can't decrypt anything encrypted with it.

On matters not concerning my massive incompetence, I now have a rsync.net account! It's neato, I tell you what.

So, when messing around in my account at NFSnet, I found out that they now offer offsite backups through rsync.net, which is all kinds of cool. But it's a buck forty per gigabyte, so I went through the root directory of bbot.org and cleared out some junk; then went and updated its WHOIS information with my new address.

I also got shadowing working right in blender-yafray!

Unfortunately, I accidently told blender to render the whole animation. It's been chewing at it for a good twelve hours now, and is only up to frame 145. Fortunately, it was at quarter-1080p, so it shouldn't take the weeks and weeks I estimated for a full render. I'll post it on vimeo once it's done, I guess.

I also also attended the Emerald City Comics Convention. It was as nerdy as one might expect. While there I bought the Man Of Stone trade. I had read part of it already, (illegally, of course) but finishing it was nice. And badass! Don't forget that.
