App Showdown: Password Keepers | Mac|Life

Re the review App Showdown: Password Keepers | Mac|Life:
Favorite for me: mSecure, because of its DropBox sync. My wife has an iPhone and I am on Android, we tried the sync between our devices via DropBox and it works. Luckily the mSecure devs kept the code similar enough.

CVS from behind a corporate firewall

I am posting this as it wasn't easy to find: CVS from behind a corporate firewall.

In the end it was quite easy. Example - Instead of

:pserver:anonymous@public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/CableSwig

write

:pserver;proxy=your.corporate.proxy.com;proxyport=8080:anonymous@public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/CableSwig

Also, the file .cvsroot in your $HOME directory must exist.

Installing Sun/Oracle JDK on my Ubuntu system

Ubuntu provides OpenJDK, but Aptana Studio doesn't support it, so I need to install the Sun/Oracle version of the JDK, but as a package they only provide RPM's, which Ubuntu doesn't support. So I followed these instructions on askubuntu.

White House Defense Policy

On my mind (briefly) - White House Defense Policy:

I urge the president to include the avoidance of war as top priority on his administration's defense policy. I quote the first line from this web site "The Obama Administration is investing in a strong, agile, well-trained, and well-equipped U.S. military that can fight and win the nation’s wars." I am shocked by the underlying overly narrow and aggressive definition of defense as successful warfare and juxtapose it with the UK's guiding principle on war: "The point of war is not just to win but to make a better peace." It logically follows that it preferable to make better peace without war. This must therefore be the maxime of a comprehensive defense policy.

Moving on to more mundane and immediate topics: Breathe in, breathe out. OK? OK.
