Thanks for the plug. Voted +1!

@Lennard, yes we track each vote by user. We just don't expose them.

We do sort by "last voted on", sort off. In the OOW group, the default sort
order is "Recently Active." That surfaces an entry if anything was done to
it (i.e., edited, voted on, or commented on). But, you're right, we need to
align all of these views to be more consistent.

Scorn PL/SQL? I don't scorn PL/SQL... Jake put words in my mouth. I've never even touched PL/SQL. Anyway, I do dislike the thought of a proprietary language. For the same reason, I never really liked PeopleCode. I want to learn things that I can take to any job. I suppose PL/SQL is pretty pervasive. Also, I prefer OO languages that help me get things done very rapidly.

Just to clarify... re: multi-monitor support... my set up had one external monitor. I spanned my laptop screen with the external lcd panel.

check out gnome-do... Google it. It's one of my favorite productivity enhancements to Ubuntu.

the gui for cisco VPN is gvpndialer. Google it. The bad part us you have to compile from source and from what I remember I had to symlink some libs in order to get it compiled.

Vpvc doesn't work with oracle's VPN concentrators... I spent many hours trying to get vpnc working.

btw -- I use cli script that uses "expect" to automate the login. It also auto sets the proxy settings systemwide. Let me know if you're interested.

I spent considerable time trying to get vpnc to work on Oracle's Cisco VPN concentrators without luck. First of all, the vpnc that Ubuntu has in its repo wasn't compiled with SSL support. So, I had to compile from source... and even after that, I couldn't get it to work with Oracle's certs/encryption. I'd love to see if anyone at Oracle has actually gotten it to work.

I'd love to see if you can get this to work. I spent many hours trying to get this to work by installing from source and applying Oracle's certs to no avail. I think it had something to do with a failed hybrid implementation... please post a comment if you get it to work.

Do you still have that computer? That thing would probably sell for a pretty penny on eBay! I wish I still had my Timex Sinclair. I have fond memories hooking that up to a black and white TV and turning the volume down (no sound).

Classic. If I were really Rich, I would've plunked down that cash just so I can sport that jewel on my ifon. Not. I do wish I was the one who thought of that gem... just so I could get on TUAW or even Techcrunch.

Great work Raimonds. I think your work on Ruby/Oracle is excellent. Can't wait to see what else you come up with.

I actually like Textmate but hate that it's only on a Mac. I switch between linux and mac a lot and would prefer to have the same editor on both. Otherwise, I'd be a happy Textmate user myself.
