I recently came across a cool technology.  I saw on someones blog a field for entering my Open ID to login.  I did a little research and it looked pretty neat.  Basically you tie a specific URL to your self.  Since I have been running my own server for quite sometime I thought it would work well for me.  I found an easy implementation so that I could install it on my server.  Now I can authenticate on sites that use Open ID by entering my web address, notsopc.com.

It seems to work pretty well, I installed it so that people with Open IDs can use them here.  I haven’t really used it on a site for real but I have it when I need it.  Now I just need more sites to support Open ID.  It’s a cool idea.  Anyway, that’s my cool technology of the week.

  • Upcoming adventure by ian

    This week we got a fence installed around our back yard. Really we just finished off the parts that our neighbors fences didn’t enclose. We have been telling the kids that we couldn’t have a dog because we didn’t have a fence. Well, now that we have remedied that situation [...]
