Because the thought occurred now and it might be gone tomorrow
In accordance with Lets Encrypt’s 90-day certificate expirations (as mentioned previously), here we go again. Fear not, the Certificate Mismatch warning is normal. But again, for the paranoid, here are the fingerprints to verify:
SHA1 Fingerprint:
16:CA:65:79:A6:D5:44:3E:5C:9D:39:1D:34:E3:5C:57:F7:09:13:F7
SHA-256 Fingerprint:
F7:90:29:3F:04:0D:F2:A4:87:A3:9A:12:FF:3D:CA:EE:F4:23:04:64:2B:EA:0B:08:5B:AB:74:8E:94:84:BA:EE
The new expiration will be 10/4/17.

I finally sat down and figured out how to publish this to Kindle. So, for anyone interested, it can be acquired digitally here:

In accordance with Lets Encrypt’s (the certificate authority for this site) 90-day SSL certificate expirations, I needed to renew the certificate for this site. It should be seamless, but if you are using any applications that support certificate pinning, you may receive a notice of a certificate mismatch. This is normal, and the alert serves as a warning against a possible certificate forgery. Simply accept the new certificate. However, for the extra paranoid (myself included), you may validate the new certificate’s authenticity with the below fingerprints:
SHA1 Fingerprint:
4D:28:C4:DA:0C:DE:48:39:6D:CD:1A:28:E5:D5:CC:46:5C:34:85:32
SHA-256 Fingerprint:
39:4B:3A:D3:40:C5:EA:89:B1:1C:80:F8:E4:E7:2B:30:E4:23:E2:42:4F:BC:6D:EB:86:CD:FA:83:1F:B8:57:BE
The current certificate will be valid until July 16, although I will probably renew it within 2 weeks of that.

I’ve been curious about WordPress, and when I saw that I could install it on my server, I concluded that I would experiment. It was either that or work, and since I turned down an invitation to a seminar on Emotional Intelligence, decided that I should put that suddenly open block of time to better use. And since doing anything else is literally more constructive than hearing about the values of said fad, well, the bar was set fairly low.
Introducing: my WordPress Experiment! Because surely what the world needs is yet another angry and brooding individual shouting their thoughts into the void of the Internet. In actuality, as is with the majority of my personal projects, this is simply another attempt to amuse myself and learn about a new technology in the process. Therefore, if you have no interest in hearing the dissenting ramblings of a troubled mind, begone! You have been issued a fair warning.
