Open ID

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.

This is in response to Jeff and Damons comments to the last post.  I am the first one to admit that Linux is not ready for typical users but it is getting there.  Ubuntu/Kubuntu are very close to being extremely usable by the non-geek type.  I’ve even seen some brave people try it out.  They seemed to have a good experience.  Anyway, here are a couple of Mac commercial parrodies.

    Last week I finally upgraded my phone. I’ve been eyeballing several phones that have released since I got my first Android phone.  The specs for this one (Evo 3D) released early this year and I was pretty sure this was the phone for me.  1.2GHz dual-core processor, 4GB of internal [...]

  • Minecraft! by ian

  • 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 [...]
