OpenID

FasterMustache is now an OpenID consumer. This means that you can now log in with an OpenID instead of a username and password. If you're an OpenID user, just go to the edit page for your account here and add any OpenIDs you have to the box in there and save. Log out and use the nifty new login form on the right underneath the usual login form!

Don't have any idea what this means? Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenID

Actually this is pretty cool... check out other OpenID sites like Zooomr and of course Live Journal (birthplace of Emo).

And what else is cool, everyone that has a livejournal or AIM account already has an OpenID provider. Long story short, you can make it so you use them to login here. (And dont send a password in HTTP cleartext like you do now on FM)

To use your LJ account, just put:

MYCOOLLJNAME.livejournal.com

in as your OpenID, and for AIM:

openid.aol.com/MYCOOLAIMNAME

If you're feeling more ambitious, you can put code on your website so that instead of using those directly, you use MYCOOLWEBSITE.com as your openID and your website will forward it along to aol or LJ or whatever. dig around in the source code of ckdake.com if you're so inclined.

Why don't you pony up and buy an SSL cert so we don't have to send via cleartext?

cause OpenID is better

cause OpenID is better anyways!

(And a SSL cert means I need to use a different IP for FM than the other secure stuff on this server which means getting it from my provider which likely means arin justification which I'd get but its just a PITA. Use OpenID or deal.)

Ok, I just tried to use my OID and it said something about something, then my computer froze.

WeatherBug is really a better choice. Make sure you reboot your computer, modem, router, and dishwasher all at the same time.
