Pile of Dross

As my iBook isn’t owned by work, I’m slightly leery about connecting it to work systems - so when at work I connect through the public wireless network and I don’t use VPN either. Which means that I’ve got a growing collection of ssh tunnels to get to the internal pages I need to see. Up until now I’d never gone much further than that, but with my resolution to use Textmate more there was an obvious direction - mounting my work unix account home directory on my Mac using FUSE and sshfs, which is shockingly easy - download some packages from the macfuse page, restart, configure and its done.

Though I have discovered why Apple is adding widescreen displays to everything - it so that there’s enough room for all the little menu items - when Firefox is the active application there’s only room for 1 more icon and that’s only because I turned off displaying the bluetooth status.
