In the last few days, my SSH connection from home to office is very very slow. However, when it's connected, the speed is not so bad. After some -vvv debug, it seems the SSH client waste a lot of time before showing a line "Cannot resolve network address for KDC in requested realm". What? SSH is using Kerberos? That's bad.
Well I have done some Kerberos programming jobs recently on this computer, but I never meant to tell SSH to use it. Finally I add these 2 lines into ~/.ssh/config, and now it's much faster.
Host * GSSAPIKeyExchange no

If you also use SoyLatte to run NetBeans, you'll notice that there's no menu items for Exit, About and Options. Normally, Mac programs put them into the application name menu. With SoyLatte, NetBeans runs in the X11 window environment, where the application menu belongs to X11.app.
This is how I add them, the easiest way:

There's some network problems in the office, and my cron jobs are interrupted. In syslog, after the last successful CRON call of my job (at May 21 21:58:01), I see one hour of "CRON[4428]: User not known to the underlying authentication module", and after that my cron jobs never appears in the log anymore. That's about 36 hours ago. Yesterday I've been working using this account on this machine for the whole day, so there's no authentication problem anymore. It seems cron just never resumed from the failure.
Have to run "sudo /etc/init.d/cron restart".
BTW, the account is a NIS one. The Network is the Computer™.

Just tried "Edit HTML..." of Google Docs. Ouch! I haven't seen this fat ugly HTML for a long time ever since I saved as HTML in Word 97 ten years ago.

"hg clone" is very very fast if the target volume is a local disk. If it's on NFS, even if it's on a very very fast LAN, the speed degrades to less than 1/10. I guess it's because hg does huge amount of tiny writes.

I'm not an optimist, so when I read the JavaOne TS-6185 paper on JSR 277 and see the line "No more JAR hell", I simply ask myself: Will there be JAM hell? Soon?
Real computer scientists out there, please prove that either "DLL Hell" or "Assembly Hell" or "JAR Hell" is simply inevitable, every solution that claims to solve them is simply trying to hide the problem.
I'm not a CS major, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

For the first time, I'm appreciating IE, for its adding of filter:gray CSS property.
Thank you.

Last Saturday, I found unable to SSH into my Linux box in the office, turns out we had a network upgrade at the weekend, and the NIS server's IP address got changed. I had placed static IP into /etc/yp.conf, therefore, a failure.
Fix the error this morning and it connects again. Another change is now that DIA (Direct Internet Access) is enabled. Solaris can ping external hosts directly. For Linux, update the hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf into hosts: nis files dns mdns.

I'm writing some network related codes now and would like to use Wireshark to see what's going on.
It's strange that anytime I start wireshark (using "sudo wireshark" to see the NICs) and press the capture button, the wireless network is brought down. The wireless menu icon goes gray, and when I try to reconnect, it reports a failure. However, I can turn AirPort Off and turn it on again to connect to the network again, and Wireshark works fine.
No idea why. I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.11 and Wireshark 0.99.7 with libpcap 0.9.4.

Yesterday evening I spend some time playing with the newly released OpenSolaris 2008.05 CD-ROM, and it's just so amazing!
I don't have a PC at home (not exactly, read the end of this post), so I try it out on my wife's ThinkPad notebook (she would not allow me to install a new OS there). Everything works so fine, although I don't like the continuous humming from the CD-ROM drive.
I feel satisfied at these points especially:
This is quite astonishing. OpenSolaris now chooses GNU tools as the default command sets, which means it's not compatible with the original Solaris. This can even be a nightmare sometimes. However, for Linux users, that might be the best news for them. Anyway I guess Linux users are the main people the new release is trying to attract.jack@opensolaris:~$ echo $PATH /usr/gnu/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

I'm working from home now, connecting to the office network thru VPN. Running 'ifconfig -a' does not show the IP address for the VPN, although I can find it by using "who" in a SSH session into a office machine or simply look at the Shimo statistics pane.
But here comes a problem, Java's Kerberos uses the following method to fill addresses into the AS-REQ message when requesting the initial TGT from a KDC (which is in the office):
InetAddress.getAllByName(InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName())and it cannot find the VPN IP. So if I use this TGT to request for a service ticket, an error is returned: Incorrect net address.

I'm watching the replay of the first JavaOne General Session, and see this Kindle guy joining Rich Green on the stage, taking out his black and white book reader, demonstrating how stupidly easy it is to buy books online. After showing several Java books, quite carelessly, or at least it seems so, he shows another book, with the sketch of this man, of whom he speaks out the name on the stage:
Dalai Lama.
OK, so this guy hijacks a technical conference for 2 seconds because of his political bias and passionate love for a monk. He must be quite proud of living in a modern world and knows what the trend or fashion is these days.

Just upgrade to 1.6, all guests started but cannot talk to each other. They were connected into a shared "Internal Network" but now seems torn apart. XP cannot get a DHCP IP address from KDC. Even it's configured a static address, it cannot ping KDC.
I'll try to create another Internal Network and put them into this new one, hope this can solve the problem.
Update (2:18pm): Does not work. I finally reinstall version 1.56 and now they are running. I am a little suspect about what the issue really is. Because even after I install 1.56, the IP addresses go wrong once too. Anyway, for 1.56, a simple Repair inside the Windows guests solve all the problem, while in 1.6, I've tried anything I can but never got things right.
