At it again

This is like the fifth time in the last 10 years that I have started a new blog. I am still trying to find a balance between what to post/share with the world and what to keep it to my self. My last blog was titled "No more rants" and today I have forcefully retired it. 

Why (you may ask?). My initial goal of that blog was to only focus on technical content and not say too much about other stuff (like politics, my travel adventures, life in northern Europe). But now I have changed my mind about it because I missed writing. I think writing helps you become a better person, since one(usually) takes time to reflect on the topic.

It is another thing altogether that with blogs you open your self up to the world and that can have some consequences (mostly some thing you wrote a while back can come to bite you back, example in my case was bashing of a company for no reason other than fashion, and of course bad writing that just make you look un-intelligent. 

I think I will probably change my mind about opening up again some time later, but at least I can blog freely now and share what I know, what I have learned, what I feel about various aspects of my daily life. Perhaps it will be useful to some one. So here I am, at it again.

Before your Yubikey appears as a CCID  you will need to use YubiKey Neo Manager to enable it. See the following screenshot.  You cannot have a password for your Yubikey when you are changing the modes. If you do then you will have to delete that configuration with YubiKey personalization tool. Make sure to exit the GUI applications before you start using console later. Step 1: Check if you Yubikey works. You will need have gpg executable installed.  Gpg4Win  to interact with your Yubikey C:\...
