[geeks] PGP Key Revocation

[Chris Byrne]

Oh great even better.  

With all of the system problems I've had I hadnt reinstalled PGP on my
system yet. I did so just now. Brilliant boy that I am I only kept one
copy of my pubring, secring, and revocation cert. I kept these on a
compact flash card which I usually keep in my posession, however being
my moms house I had left it laying out on my desk with other things. 

Wait for it...

My little brother used it in his digital camera for christmas pictures
of his go-ped.

Which of course means no revocation cert and no means of creating one. 

And Im supposed to be a security professional
