Liam's write-only LJ

Not a piece of my own writing, but the longest piece I've edited for Heise yet so far.

Signing emails with DomainKeys Identified Mail: Cryptography against phishing and spam

7 pages. Tell you how to set up your email server to digitally sign outgoing emails, to make them traceable. Good stuff if you're into that kind of thing.

10min to go of my last shift at Transport for London. (Well, I worked for Dovetail, who acted as my umbrella for my agency AMTech in Manchester, who provided me to Phoenix, who provided me to CSC, who outsource TfL's desktop support. Complicated, huh?)

My longest-lasting full-time job in 12 years, so no wonder the 8 months of it - from the end January to the end of August - have felt like a long time.

I've signed the Official Secrets Act. I've got SC-level security clearance. I have seen behind the scenes of lots of stations - Tube, bus, train, congestion-charge control monitoring, all sorts. I've driven from Essex to Hertfordshire and back again, when, back when I started, I'd never driven a motor car unaccompanied in my life. (Well, apart from a few hundred feet in my old Orion that I got from alexpiom, very illegally, about a decade ago.)

It's been quite an experience, all in all.

Next stop: Networks Editor, Heise Online.

Gosh.

This has been quite a busy year, already.
