I was trying to convince myself they were different enough to leave alone. Or pick which one should be closed in favor of the other.

Merging is probably the right solution. I like his second question better, but the first one had the activity.

well @nealmcb I usually just flag them. no comments or downvotes.

@Scott I've doubted 30 seconds. But It's pretty evident that the intention of OP is the same in both questions.

did someone know where I can found a public description of A5/1 cipher? with test vectors?

Found the LFSR configuration, and have neraly done my implementation, but with no tests to verify...

the crickets are because people are writing blog posts

...right? (:

6:09 PM

@RebeccaChernoff All I've seen is discussions and cloak-and-dagger references. So what is up? Who has access?

@nealmcb blog is up, @RoryAlsop and @AviD have been added as admins.

So far, I've spent 4 of my 5 work hours in meetings

/me sighs

and writing a blog post is just what you'd like to do now?

I'm so going to get rotten tomatoes thrown at me, aren't I?

6:25 PM

@RebeccaChernoff Only until @avid and @RoryAlsop start handing out editor and author accounts, and we start figuring out how to run this thing :)

you don't really need an actual account to start writing (:

/me starts reading about roles at codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Summary_of_Roles

@RebeccaChernoff Excellent point. But there is something so tangible about having a shiny new tool and role to play with at the same time.

you have a shiny new toy, tis at security.blogoverflow.com (:

@RebeccaChernoff Is there any integration in authn systems between the blog and SE? Or do you just suggest that folks use the same openid that they use now for SE?

tis just wordpress, email+password

6:30 PM

@RebeccaChernoff Indeed, and I'm the only user to date (via a comment). But that is the limit of my current powers, as I understand it.

Ok...so let's say I add your account right this second. You know what post you're going to start writing? Or do you need to think about it?

@RebeccaChernoff I plan to start by highlighting some of the password- and authn- related questions.

not picking on you of course, just have seen people think they can't do anything until the blog is up and they have accounts...and then they sit and stare wondering where to get started (:

@RebeccaChernoff Spot on. Your approach is indeed working, as I struggle to respond to your queries :) Ok, I started sketching it out....

@RebeccaChernoff ....but as I collect things to link to I want to know what markup to use - markdown?

the only reason you'd have to sit and twiddle your thumbs is if there isn't going to be a blog (which isn't an issue since I've set it up), or you think the admins won't give you an account (are you on their naughty list? q:). So...you could write post after post after post after... (;

ok that's a fair question...pretty sure the markdown plugin is activated on the network

6:44 PM

@RebeccaChernoff That would be nice. I love composing stuff on SE because of the real-time preview. So given compatible markup languages, I could enter it here, then copy/paste.

yup, you can use markdown

7:01 PM

@nealmcb I2 is doing a webinar on InCommon right now if you're interested.

Ahh - nice. incommon.org/cert/why.html

And in particular it is about the certificate service - cheap certs for research organizations and higher ed.

@RebeccaChernoff I figure we'll want a q/a place to put "meta" discussions of running SE blogs. Do you recommend anywhere in particular?

your meta? example question?

I assume the various sites will want to share expertise on wordpress, promotion and management ideas, etc.

ala meta.stackoverflow.com - I guess we could just use that for now

Good evening

Wordpress theme looks good - will get some content added in. Am I correct in thinking we can add all the folks who have volunteered under the author role?

codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Summary_of_Roles

@Rory!

8:48 PM

@Scott!

Has the theme not been published yet?

It matches the blue, and the general stackexchange beta look

Ah, ok.

we do need to think about sorting out security.se look and feel soon, our numbers are going the right way

yeah, the blog is a sketchy theme like the site

@RoryAlsop if you have any suggestions, um, I'd post them quickly.

8:50 PM

So when the site has a big boy theme, will the blog be reskinned to match?

not saying a thing

heard nothing

@ScottPack yes. may not happen immediately, but yes.

@RebeccaChernoff As a state employee, I can certainly relate to "may not happen immediately" (:

@RebeccaChernoff :-) ah - will get a quick meta post up asking for thoughts and graphics...nudge nudge, wink wink, a nods as good as a wink to a blind bat
