Remember, remember

Saw V for Vendetta for the second time. Bought it this time.

It has the same mood that the original Matrix movie had. Recommended!

The intention of the plot is certainly obvious and the message of control by fear isn’t obfuscated.

This, of course, reminds me of the nagging question: why is there a “green” on the colour-coded terror alert if they are never going to use it?

Eclipse Remote System Explorer

Eclipse has a new Remote System Explorer plugin that sounds interesting.

It’s an interesting approach. One type of connection is just a wrapper over SSH and SFTP, allowing you to manage systems remotely and edit files without much work. You can also get a command prompt up for more advanced administration.

The other type of connection allows you to run a full-featured java application on the server that gives you access to more functionality. I haven’t tried this one out yet.

You can read more about this feature in the RSE presentation.

Writely Works!

Looks like posting works fine but the first post was doubled. It seems a little more friendly than using the markup editor in Typo. I might stick with this instead!

UPDATE: This post didn’t get doubled up. Strange! Maybe it has something to do with me testing the blog connection.

UPDATE #2: BTW, editing posts works fine.

More blogging + quick baby update

I’ve been a little slack lately on the blog posting, most likely baby-related.

In case you weren’t keeping track, Everett is five months old now. He’s doing well, but seems only to be able to roll to the left. I suppose that’s pretty amazing considering that the two halves of his brain have only had a few months to become acquainted with each other.
