Building on this article and this video I figured I would spell out some of the details of using multiple ssh keys with github. I re-read the article a few times before I found the comments which spelled out what I finally needed to be able to have multiple email accounts each with a different ssh key for github repos. This article applies to a Mac running OSX but could easily be adapted to linux platforms.

I recently purchased a cool new 4 TB external WD hard drive for backups. When I plugged it in and rebooted my computer, I got a black screen and never saw windows boot up. I spent some time looking at various posts but never found anything useful so I thought I'd post my solution here.
Note. the drive worked fine when I plugged it in. I only found a problem when I rebooted the computer. This is a problem as I plan to leave the drive plugged in so my system can make a daily backup each evening to the external drive.
I use a device called an OBI100 with google voice to make and receive phone calls when at home. This allows me to use the same phone number for voice/cell/texts etc. It only cost me about $30 btw. Recently, I hit a snag.
