As I described in my previous post, I now have a sample website up and running that accepts OpenID logins:
https://jck.golgotha.org.uk/WebRPApplication1/
Unfortunately, it doesn't work properly with Yahoo! at the moment; any suggestions are welcome.

By the way, if you have a Yahoo! account, and you want to use it as an OpenID, there's an extra step that doesn't apply to other providers. You have to enable the account first, at this page:
http://openid.yahoo.com/
Click the "Get Started" button in the top right, then sign in (if necessary), and it will generate an ID for you. You shouldn't need to use it, but that's what gets stored at RP (Relying Party) sites.

I've been looking at OpenID, and I'd like to start using it on one of my websites. In technical terms, I would be an RP (Relying Party), accepting logins from OPs (OpenID Providers). I've decided to use DotNetOpenAuth for this (formerly known as DotNetOpenID), so I've been trying to get some sample code working. This has turned out to be surprisingly tricky, and it's taken me a few days to figure it all out, so I've documented the process; hopefully this will be useful to anyone else who's in the same situation.

( Techie stuff )

If you'd like to play with the site, it's here:
https://jck.golgotha.org.uk/WebRPApplication1/
It doesn't work properly with Yahoo! at the moment (I'll elaborate on that in my next post), but other OpenIDs should be ok, so please let me know if you find any that don't work.

First Capital battle. 40 dreads on my killboard. Estimates at over 100 dead dreads - our board doesn't autoload the kills of allies, so it's not complete.

Got primaried, but their FC really was jumping around. After I ran through all my stront (2 hours+ fight)
Mid fight found me sneaking around the field, very slowly looting more stront (and hey! fuel and ammo while I was at it!) from my dead brosefs.

I really pity A named dreads. Or Z named.

I bought a couple of gallente navy magstabs for my Moros, for being a trooper :)

When I got up this morning I wrote a to-do list for the day.

All but two items are ticked off (YAY!)

Those items?
- writing
- litter tray

I am slightly disturbed at the possibility that I'm putting writing (IAMBIC PENTAMETER!) on a par with an unpleasant-but-brief chore ...

Suspect my recent inability to bounce back from late nights may be a post-viral thing: I was so exhausted at werk yesterday that I could barely stand up, so left early (walked home because didn't think I was safe to cycle) and went to bed and stayed there.

Too tired to read but not quite tired enough to sleep properly.

Today somewhat better: but I am going to have to take it easy til this clears up. Back in the late 80s I had something like this and it took literally years to clear up. (Guarana was what fixed it but that may have been coincidence.)

Six good things this week:
- Finns!
- the M&S credit card, which is black but has a lime-green edge (as in, depth of card: probably about .1mm wide). It makes it much easier to find in card-pocket of purse, which now has three (3) stylish black money cards (FirstDirect debit and credit, M&S). It's a subtle design classic.
- flexible working hours
- iambic pentameter
- Mrs Alice Gordon and her delightful manual on Decorative Electricity
- bugshaw doing a Tesco run on behalf of ozymandias_cat while I'd taken to my bed

was I the only person who thought the cartoon characters singing on children-in-need as actually quite good?

I need to get out more, don't i?

  It's on open source font. Which is a little weird, but still: it's also a *gorgeous* font.
