In sync
(unknown author) via Notes on Wed, 26 Nov. 2008
Since I upgraded from a single laptop to dynamic duo including a new desktop, the "how do I keep the two in sync" problem became a topic of some significance on my geek life.
There are several sets of information that I want to keep in sync, and for some of them I found solutions, and for others I'm still struggling.
The first and easiest to solve was my work/ direc

Zimbra Desktop Vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle Attack
timothy via Slashdot on Sun, 23 Nov. 2008
tiffanydanica writes "For all the flack Mozilla gets about its new security warnings for https sites, at least it warns the user when a mismatch occurs. Sadly the new Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop (released in part to fix some security issues), doesn't bother validating the SSL certificate on the other side before sending along the username and password, making it vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack.

Interviewing Experienced IT People?
timothy via Slashdot on Wed, 19 Nov. 2008
thricenightly writes "After more than 20 years in IT I've learned that the most valuable people in a team are frequently the old timers. Young pups straight out of college might (think they) know all the latest buzzwords and techniques, but in the real world, where getting working products delivered on time and on budget is of paramount importance, people who have been doing the job for a decade o

MacPorts
(unknown author) via Notes on Mon, 17 Nov. 2008
My love/hate relationship with systems like MacPorts and Fink requires an re-evaluation.
I used fink a lot in the 10.2 days, and I didn't like it that much, and given that my OSS software needs where either covered on 10.4 and 10.5 or a simple ./configure --prefix=my_local_app_dir && make && make install away, I was always able to stay away from them.

(unknown author) via Notes on Fri, 31 Oct. 2008
Yesterday, I uploaded to Vimeo a screencast showing some of the features of git-gui.
With a UNIX background, and with only a brief detour to Windows NT 3.51 (the last Windows version with decent internals), I'm mostly keyboard oriented and never before I used a GUI to solve my SCM needs.

Be a virtual sticky note ninja, with Melee!
Fred Oliveira via Webreakstuff on Wed, 22 Oct. 2008
It’s pretty easy to let routine take over. No shame in that, everyone gives in. This weekend we popped out of the same old, same old and decided to build something new - sure, there was a motive (Rails Rumble 2008), but we just took it as an excuse. In 48 hours (well, we sl
