Still in school. Working in tech. Trying to do some other things. Yippee.
Synergy is an excellent program but does not provide encryption. This means that any passwords you send to your client machine are easily visible. However, Synergy works great with SSH tunneling and since I recently had to set this up myself hopefully I can help you do it too.
I am assuming that Vista [...]

I finally had my own wtf today. As part of my job I do a lot of random tech support and troubleshooting. Later today I have to go to a different office and try to fix a number of problems they’ve been having lately. This gem was in the list they sent [...]
Idea for this script borrowed from a friend. Found the original here. This is pipe-able if you add a ‘-’ after ‘vim’ in the alias, but this will break regular file viewing (or you could just use ‘less’ since this won’t give you syntax highlighting on your piped stuff anyway). I [...]
Protest the use of their church in a video game.
Oh em gee, a digital cathedral that looks a lot like our own was used in a violent video game depicting war… between humans and, uh, aliens…, but still!’ Get over it. Not only is the game depicting events that never happened (or ever [...]
While searching for a link to back up my assertion in Samat’s blog that it is impossible to prove code bug-free, I ran across some amusing anecdotes here. Highlights follow:
1. Programmer produces code he believes is bug-free.
2. Product is tested. 20 bugs are found.
3. Programmer fixes 10 of the bugs and explains to the [...]
Browsing a friends backblog I came across this great piece of news I’d somehow missed. The full story can be found here. Apparently Microsoft cares about alienating their customer base as much as Sprint does. GG indeed. American McGee is perhaps the most interesting game developer I know of. Also, [...]
This isn’t news, but in an attempt to share the fixes I’ve spent time finding, here is one from this site:
If you’re getting the long filename error when extracting Eclipse in Vista, you simply need to use a third party program instead, like WinRAR. The default Vista zip handler is just as crappy as [...]
Creative clashes.
I laughed. I cried. I think I peed my pants a little. Reminded me a lot of my high school lit classes. I always wrote something zany and completely wacked out, same thing I did in elementary school whenever they had you draw in the rest of the picture around [...]
Reiser. A sensationalist article with interesting use of code. It is true that in very good, long, complicated code there is a huge measure of artistry that makes the the program something that is very close to the soul, or at least the subconscious. In any case, several things stood out.
The evidence [...]
