I've been certified on advogato as `apprentice' by <a href="http://www.advogato.org/person/BenFrantzDale/">someone</a> who ``Over the past several years [has] created a number of icons for the GNOME project and created many themes (including the infamous E-X and GTK-X themes).'' <p> I'm an apprentice icon-maker. I can't wait to tell mum. Wed, 11 Apr 2001 14:24:41 GMT http://www.advogato.org/person/colin/diary.html?start=0 http://www.advogato.org/person/colin/diary.html?start=0 Apparently I'm not certified. Oh well. <p> Interesting article about <a href="http://www.advogato.org/article/261.html">distributed trust</a>, in which someone poses the question of how to operate a distributed trust matrix in a context of uncertain identity. <p> I suspect that the solution to the problem of trust in ``a single statement which many people want to evaluate the truth of, but there is no single authority on.'' subsumes the case in which the single statement is `X is the same person as Y', or should.
