Oops... apparently I didn't export them properly.

If you're using Seahorse, you need to make sure "Automatically synchronize 
modified keys with key servers" is checked in "Preferences". We may have 
forgotten to click that on Monday, my key you had signed on Monday hasn't 
shown up on any key servers yet either.

If you want to just eschew GUIs completely, you can also export keys quickly 
and easily on the CLI:

gpg --send-keys <key ID>

i.e. to send mine:

gpg --send-keys 'Samat K Jain' # by a UID on the key, or
gpg --send-keys '0x0x4A456FBA' # by hexadecimal key ID

This will export my public key that you have signed to your default keyservers 
(configured in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf).

I'll pull together an e-mail with some GnuPG-related links I've collected.

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.
