See, this is what happens if you almost never get any encrypted emails – you almost forget about it. The public key which is available from here pointed until today to a key file for which I’ve lost the private part quite some time ago. Somebody tried to send me an email message encrypted with this key and I was obviously unable to decrypt and read it. Sorry for the inconveniences here!

The one and only correct key with my current main email address has the key ID 160D1092, generated on 2003/03/13. If you like to send encrypted messages to me, please use only this key. There is still the other key uploaded on some public key servers (its ID is C16DFEFA) – please do not use this one! I won’t be able to read your message otherwise.

Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a way to revoke the public part of the missing key without either having the private key backup’d somewhere or at least having a pre-generated revoke certificate. Those key servers seem to be “ADD”-only…

It amazes me every time how little information one gets over the mainstream media about certain topics. For example, the conflict in Burma. Germany’s most popular (trusted?) TV news source – the Tagesschau – draws a calm picture of the situation: A representative from the UNO visited the military junta and the leader of the opposition today, while no information about the actual results of the interviews became public. Other than that only a few hundred people went on the streets today; and yeah, people in other countries demonstrated for freedom and democracy in Burma as well.

Was that really everything? Well, the internet is full of information on the conflict, and apparently there is much more to report than what the Tagesschau told us. The junta is accused to commit genocide:

It is reported from several different sources that about 200 unknown dead bodies [were burnt in the crematorium]. The worse part is some very badly wounded people were burned alive without medical treatment, nor contacting the victims’ families. It was confirmed by a staff at the Yayway Crematorium.

Now, why on earth are the United Nations and other organisations just so fucking quiet? If there are indices that such things happen, shouldn’t there be a major interest for international interventions? Stephane Peray, a cartoonist in Bangkok/Thailand, summarizes the current situation pretty much:
