Random packages

• Make sure to check out John Langford's software page.
• And here is a free implementation of SSH you can try (the link above points to the commercial implementation, which has some restrictions).
• xwrits will help you take regular breaks to save your wrists and eyes from RSI.
• hunch is a little tool I wrote to automatically send notices about machines infected with all manner of malicious code to their administrators.

Pilot

• If you're at CMU, check out the page for standard palm-related software.
• To sync with ical, you can use syncal. Hint: to sync a cboard item, mark it as "personal copy" in the cboards menu.
• BBDB syncing seems like an open problem (people haven't figured out a way to deal with the fact that BBDB has many more fields than the palm). A reasonable one-way tool is bbdbpalm, which also lists alternatives (in the comments of the file you download).
• Vector-graphics maps can be found at mapopolis. They'll scroll, zoom, and so on. Too bad their "business" database is so poor. Anyway, they're free (for now?).
• And if have any memory left after installing the maps above, why not squeeze in a dictionary?

• Here are details about the subsidy.
• And here is a list of providers in the Pittsburgh area.
