Installing GnuPG 2 on OSX

Leave a comment

Installing GnuPG onto OSX. If you are using Enigmail to provide your mail client (such as Thunderbird) with PGP signing, etc., this should help you out.

Get latest version of GnuPG

The latest version of GnuPG is 2.1.6. I located that here:
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/
I like to use curl to grab the package. Unpack the directory. You can try to build it right away, but most likely there will be additional libraries that need to be installed first (keep reading..)

curl -O ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.1.6.tar.bz2

To build this, you will need the latest versions of the following modules also installed, before you can start to build out the GnuPG.

Whitewater Rafting – South Fork of American River

Leave a comment

AmericanRiverSouthFork016Wow.. what a great time we had! First off, big thanks to Isaac G. for setting up this kick-ass outing. As usual, it was a cast of crazy characters; and also keeping with tradition.. we bought the photos!

For this trip, we went with American Whitewater Expeditions. Screen Shot 2015-07-30 at 11.34.47 AM

AWE is locate in Coloma, CA, deep in the Sierra foothills.

Starting at Zero-Dark-Thirty in Santa Cruz, we headed over to Fit for Speed, located in Club Autosport to meet up with the group of yahoos we’d be rafting (and swimming) with today.

After fueling up on carbs and caffeine we made the 3+ hour journey out past Sacramento. Everything was going smooth, until we tried to stop for lunch. Someone had the brilliant idea of meeting at Inn-N-Out burger in Rancho Cordova to re-assemble our convey. This part of the plan worked great!

Kevin and Beth AmericanRiverSouthFork001 were traveling with us. It didn’t take for them to start looking up all the awesome ways to order burgers. We had A PLAN!

Once we arrived on location however, things started to go sideways. Someone suggested we go somewhere that had salads. Using the trusty (right…) interwebs, a Mediterranean place about 1/2 miles away was located with GREAT Yelp reviews and we were on our way. We had about 20 min. to eat or we’d be late for our trip, which advised us to have a HEARTY lunch as we’d be on the river for about 5 hours (paddling at least 1/2 that time I might add). I won’t go into all the details but I’ll say that Amore in Rancho Cordova is CRAP! Took us 45 min. to get what food we could (I had to cancel my order) and what we received was over-priced pig slop. Deb and I split a hideous omelet was we raced into the mountains, already very late for a very mandatory on-time trip orientation. Isaac was able to smooth things over with AWE and despite arriving very late, we managed to make it onto the river!

I think a great time was had by all. Our boat didn’t require a safe-word… nuff said about that.

So here my words end, and I offer up the photos purchased from the entertaining, and I think you’ll agree great photographer that captured the fun. Thanks to Kevin at KBar photo for taking the great pics shown here.

This will HAVE to be done again!!
