Thanks gods my username changed! On Dec 16, 2007 I was kindly granted a name change from frodo72 to polettix, to make my username match with the one I use almost everywhere else (notably use.perl.org and CPAN).

Trivia

My GnuPg visual fingerprint

<img src="http://www.polettix.it/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/download/GnuPgVisualFingerprint.png" alt="Visual Fingerprint">

source code patched from that linked in Intrepid's home page. Now a Perl version with a slightly modified feature set is available. Note: Internet Explorer is notoriuos for its inhability to correctly handle PNG alpha channel and transparency. If you see a black background for the image above, you can get a better browser.

Homenode personalisation

To add new items near the image in your homenode, you have to add a bit of HTML for each new line. For example:

</td></tr><tr><td>Homepage: </td><td><a href="http://www.polettix.it/"
+>PolettiX</a>
