			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When an entire volume has been encrypted by TrueCrypt, it looks like an uninitialized drive to Mac OS.  A dialog box will pop up, asking if you want to initialize (format) the drive.  <b>Click ignore</b>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.curlybrace.com/words/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/MacOS_DiskNotReadable..png"><img src="http://www.curlybrace.com/words/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/MacOS_DiskNotReadable.-300x106.png" alt="" title="MacOS_DiskNotReadable." width="300" height="106" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1330" /></a></p>
<p>Next, run TrueCrypt.  If TrueCrypt is already running, open its main window.  Click &#8216;select device&#8217;.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.curlybrace.com/words/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/MacOS_TrueCrypt_Run..png"><img src="http://www.curlybrace.com/words/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/MacOS_TrueCrypt_Run.-300x259.png" alt="" title="MacOS_TrueCrypt_Run." width="300" height="259" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1334" /></a></p>
<p>TrueCrypt will prompt you for your administrator password.  This is your regular login password.  Note that if you don&#8217;t have administrative rights, you can&#8217;t mount an encrypted volume.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.curlybrace.com/words/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/MacOS_TrueCrypt_EnterPassword..png"><img src="http://www.curlybrace.com/words/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/MacOS_TrueCrypt_EnterPassword.-300x92.png" alt="" title="MacOS_TrueCrypt_EnterPassword." width="300" height="92" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1332" /></a></p>
<p>Next, select the encrypted disk from the list of drives.  In this example, it&#8217;s a 60 gigabyte external harddrive, so I select the drive reported as 55.9 GB.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.curlybrace.com/words/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/MacOS_TrueCrypt_SelectDevice..png"><img src="http://www.curlybrace.com/words/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/MacOS_TrueCrypt_SelectDevice.-300x238.png" alt="" title="MacOS_TrueCrypt_SelectDevice." width="300" height="238" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1335" /></a></p>
<p>You are now returned to TrueCrypt&#8217;s main window.  Click &#8216;Mount&#8217; in the bottom, left corner.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.curlybrace.com/words/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/MacOS_TrueCrypt_MountVolume..png"><img src="http://www.curlybrace.com/words/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/MacOS_TrueCrypt_MountVolume.-300x259.png" alt="" title="MacOS_TrueCrypt_MountVolume." width="300" height="259" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1333" /></a></p>
<p>TrueCrypt will now prompt for the volume password.  This is the password used to encrypt the disk.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.curlybrace.com/words/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/MacOS_TrueCrypt_EnterPassword..png"><img src="http://www.curlybrace.com/words/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/MacOS_TrueCrypt_EnterPassword.-300x92.png" alt="" title="MacOS_TrueCrypt_EnterPassword." width="300" height="92" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1332" /></a></p>
<p>The volume is now mounted.  You may close the TrueCrypt main window and continue to access the encrypted disk.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Publishing GPG/PGP keys to public keyservers has one glaring fault:  once you commit something, you can never remove it.  I made the mistake of adding my email address at an employer&#8217;s domain.  Now it is permanently tied to my public key and email address.</p>
<p>Assuming that you own a domain, publishing keys in your DNS record gives you complete control over their content.  Of course, there is nothing stopping someone from retrieving your public key from your DNS record and uploading it to a public keyserver!</p>
<p><a href="http://gushi.livejournal.com/524199.html">Dan Mahoney</a> wrote an excellent guide on publishing PGP keys in DNS TXT records.</p>
<p>This <a href="http://scottelkin.com/programming/how-to-properly-configure-godaddy-dns-settings/">guide to GoDaddy DNS record configuration</a> made it relatively easy to modify my TXT record.</p>
