Sending encrypted text

Save your secret stuff to encrypted.txt.

Add my public key to your gpg keyring:

curl https://raw.github.com/gist/3958250/55c2f988f9f8b46ccacc2b42bdd2645a6ee60da4/gistfile1.txt > ~/Desktop/masnick.pgp

gpg --import ~/Desktop/masnick.pgp

Encrypt encrypted.txt:
```
gpg -e -r A3BB696F ~/Desktop/encrypted.txt
```
(# Say y at the security prompt.)
You can safely email ~/Desktop/encrypted.txt.gpg to me.
