o'Reilly Media book: Programming Perl, 4th Edition - O'Reilly Media

Programming Perl:
Adopted as the undisputed Perl bible soon after the first edition appeared in 1991, Programming Perl is still the go-to guide for this highly practical language. In this much-anticipated update to "the Camel," three renowned Perl authors cover the language up to its current version, Perl 5.14, with a preview of features in the upcoming 5.16.

yet another (but nice) OS X SFTP/SCP browser: Fugu SSH | SourceForge.net

Got to the files section and get the Lion / Intel build!

QuickSSHd on my Android devices – pictures, e-books, … – created a few recipes for downloading and uploading

First: yes, QuickSSHd is very nice and useful software. Why does Android not come with something like that by itself?

Second: Yes, a graphical SFTP browser (such as Cyberduck) can be quite nice for interacting with an SSH server.

I have downloaded pictures from my tablet and my phone quite a few times now …
I have uploaded e-books to my tablet quite a few times as well ...

At some stage you just start thinking, doing it on the command line resp. in a script is your preferred way. I got there today, and I collected my one-liners in yet another tiny README / HOWTO document. That's a relief!

Actually I would like to rsync to my Android devices, but (I think) the rsync utilities available for Android don't act as remote party.

Update 2012-07-29:
The app's help screen describes briefly but exactly, how to create a new pair of ssh keys and how to transfer the public key to the other party. Basically the public key, from where you are going to log into you Android device, has to be listed in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on your Android device.

Israeli movie: Off White Lies = Orhim LeRega (2011)

Orhim le-rega (2011)

I attended the presentation at the Berlin Film Festival yesterday (2012-02-12).
I was quite sorry for the crew on stage after the movie itself for the Q+A section. The moderator should have blocked stupid question resp. answered them herself. She should have spent a lot more time involving (almost) everybody on stage for a question or two. I was quite embarrassed for her.

The Cucumber Book dives straight into the core of the problem: communication between people. Cucumber saves the day; it's a testing, communication, and requirements tool - all rolled into one.

where is the fun with Firefox Aurora …

…, if most of my plugins are getting disabled with the next upgrade?

Back to Firefox "beta update channel"! That should be exciting enough. Well, at least my plugins are functional there.

Q: what about Adium 1.5rc3 and its Skype plugin? A: the Skype plugin got blacklisted

A couple of minutes ago, Adium popped up this message:

A new version of Adium is available.
Adium 1.5rc3 is now available––you have 1.4.4. Would you like to download it now?

Release Notes:
Version 1.5rc3 …
General

• … 
• Blacklisted the Skype plugin in 1.5, as it's known to be broken. 
•  …

No, I don't want to run Adium without its Skype plugin (any more).
At least they mention now, there is a problem with the Skype plugin, so I don't have to try.
I don't know, what I am missing, if I stay with 1.4.4, but it would be much harder for me to run Adium without Skype.
