+There are essentially 2 methods for compiling Gtk apps
+
+-   using *msvc* compiler and .LIB files
+-   using \"gnu\" backend and msys2 libraries
+
+It is a pick your poison situation, the first option requires unpacking
+zip files and organizing stuff so the rust compiler can find the
+libraries and the runtime the DLLs.
+
+The other option requires configuring rust to essentially cross compile
+to the *x86~64~-pc-windows-gnu* target.
+
+Since I know how to cross compile from my recent experiments with
+compiling for embedded ARM processors and I generally know my way better
+around the unixy msys environment, the latter it is.
+
+# Installing Gtk in Msys2/Mingw64
+
+Installing gtk3 is easy as it can be installed with *pacman*
+
+``` example
+$ pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3
+```
+
+Add some support for integrating with c libraries and linking, etc...
+
+``` example
+$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain base-devel
+```
+
+Being optimistic I installed glade. Probably wont need it today but it
+is a good test to see if Gtk apps at least start.
+
+``` example
+$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-glade
+```
+
+Glade starts and shows the GUI so the first milestone was reached.
+
+# Preparing rust and cargo
+
+First install the cross compilation target
+
+``` example
+$ rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
+```
+
+I can now compile with
+
+``` example
+$ PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_CROSS=1 cargo build --target=x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
+```
+
+To always enably this environment variable in the project folder I added
+a *.env* file with
+
+``` example
+PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_CROSS=1
+```
+
+which is picked up by the zsh dotenv plugin when I enter the folder.
+
+Similarly we can change the default target for cargo with adding
+
+``` example
+build]
+target = "x86_64-pc-windows-gnu"
+```
+
+to \*.cargo/config.toml
+
+We can now simply do
+
+``` example
+$ rust build
+```
+
+or
+
+``` example
+$ rust run
+```
+
+# Using VSCode
+
+When using *vscode* the rust language server needs to have this
+enviroment setup too so it can do its magic. For debugging and running
+you can do this in *launch.json* by setting the variables in the *env*
+property, but this is (logically) not used for the language server.
+There seem no way to have *vscode* respect the *.env* file soon enough
+for the language server to pick it up.
+
+The solution I settled on was to launch *vscode* from the command line
+in the project folder:
+
+``` example
+$ code .
+```
+
+The prompt returns immediately and *vscode* is seeing the same
+environment as the shell. (This does imply that the vscode bin directory
+is on the path.)
+
+Of course this wisdom was gained by fixing 1 error message after another
+while trying to build an example in a 2018 blogpost. In hindsight I
+could have started with the examples provided with the relm sourcecode,
+but where would be the fun in that?

+Environment variable have gained a lot of importance since the rise of
+the container based deployments and (consequently) the popularity of the
+[12 factor app](https://12factor.net/).
+
+It also has become very practical with the widespread support of the
+*.env* file in the project folder which makes configuring apps during
+development very practical.
+
+# Using environment in Rust
+
+The [std::env](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/env/index.html) package
+gives access to the environment variables, and also information about
+the working directory, the location of the program executing, temp
+folder, etc...
+
+The method we really are interested in is
+[var](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/env/fn.var.html).
+
+``` example
+match env::var("MQTT_BROKER") {
+    Ok(mqtt_broker) => mqtt_init(&mqtt_broker).await,
+    Err(e) => error!("No broker specified in MQTT_BROKER environment variable.({})", e)
+}
+```
+
+It returns a *Result\<String, VarError\>* which we can easily pattern
+match on and give readable feedback to the user.
+
+I thing this is perfectly fine for simple, small apps I am likely to
+write in the foreseeable future.
+
+# Controlling Logging from the Environment
+
+Another thing needed for smallisch apps is a logging system with the
+following requirements:
+
+-   Controllable via environment
+-   Add a timestamp
+-   Output to stdout or stderr (a 12 factor thing)
+-   Namespace modules
+-   Override config for specific modules
+
+Rust has a standard logging API defined in the [log
+crate](https://docs.rs/log/0.4.11/log/) crate for which a large
+selection of implementations is available.
+
+The first one on the [list with
+implementations](https://docs.rs/log/0.4.11/log/#available-logging-implementations)
+fit all my requirements, so that\'s fine.
+
+All we need to do is initialize it after reading the environment
+variables from the *.env* file :
+
+``` example
+async fn main() {
+    dotenv::dotenv().ok();
+    env_logger::init();
+    ...
+```
+
+and we are logging using the standard `debug!`{.verbatim},
+`info!`{.verbatim}, `warn!`{.verbatim}, ... macros.
+
+# Scaling to larger apps
+
+When apps grow (or just when they live long enough) they tend to
+accumulate config options and layers of modules making logging also a
+headache.
+
+When confronted with these issues I saw that the *config* and *envy*
+crates offer nice layered configuration support and straightforward
+pouring in type safe structs.
+
+Similarly there are more flexible, and consequently more complex,
+logging frameworks like *log4rs*. There are also structured logging
+libraries but I still need to see how these can work in containers
+without adding additional hoops to jump through.
+
+Let\'s hope my apps stay small and simple and do not need this
+additional complexity.

+I configure all apps I can to use *vim* keybindings. Which means I use
+the *Escape* key very often.
+
+On my custom keyboards I have usually QMK or similar available to remap
+the keys and use a tap on the CapsLock to mean *Escape* and hold to mean
+*Control*. On the macbook pro I used *Karabiner* to program the same
+effect. And even on Windows I found a *AutoHotKey* script. On Linux I
+use an event interceptor between the keyboard and the rest of the OS.
+
+So either the keyboard does it natively or the useless CapsLock is
+remapped to the much more useful Ctrl/Esc combination.
+
+# Happy Hacking Keyboard
+
+This year I got a HHKB for my birthday. I have been wanting one of those
+for a real long time, but choice anxiety and the new models arriving
+last year prevented me from pulling the trigger so my family conspired
+to end my suffering by buying me Hybrid Type-S. Super happy with it.
+
+Of course it took some time to get used to the different location of the
+backspace, and the practical use of the 2 keys top right. However my
+muscle memory really expects the *Esc* to be under my pinky.
+
+No problem I thought a quick Google will sort that out. Nope...
+
+Been looking on and off for about a week before posting something in the
+subreddit. No reply, probably because I forgot to add a nice picture.
+
+The general consensus is to just buy an Hasu controller and use QMK to
+implement the tap dance. However I do not want to rip out the guts of my
+new keyboard, and ordering one will take some time too.
+
+# My Solution
+
+A thought crossed my mind to just try to do the same with the Control as
+I do to the CapsLock in my autohotkey script. So I copy pasted the
+CapsLock remapping to the end of the file and replaced CapsLock with
+Control in the copy. Reloaded the script and everything seemed to work.
+
+Waited a few days to confirm, and wrote it down before I forget.
+
+Here is the relevant part:
+
+``` example
+Control::Send {esc}
+Control & a::Send ^a
+Control & b::Send ^b
+Control & c::Send ^c
+Control & d::Send ^d
+Control & e::Send ^e
+Control & f::Send ^f
+Control & g::Send ^g
+Control & h::Send ^h
+Control & i::Send ^i
+Control & j::Send ^j
+Control & k::Send ^k
+Control & l::Send ^l
+Control & m::Send ^m
+Control & n::Send ^n
+Control & o::Send ^o
+Control & p::Send ^p
+Control & q::Send ^q
+Control & r::Send ^r
+Control & s::Send ^s
+Control & t::Send ^t
+Control & u::Send ^u
+Control & v::Send ^v
+Control & w::Send ^w
+Control & x::Send ^x
+Control & y::Send ^y
+Control & z::Send ^z
+Control & 0::Send ^0
+Control & 1::Send ^1
+Control & 2::Send ^2
+Control & 3::Send ^3
+Control & 4::Send ^4
+Control & 5::Send ^5
+Control & 6::Send ^6
+Control & 7::Send ^7
+Control & 8::Send ^8
+Control & 9::Send ^9
+Control & '::Send ^'
+Control & ,::Send ^,
+Control & .::Send ^.
+Control & /::Send ^/
+Control & -::Send ^-
+Control & =::Send ^=
+Control & [::Send ^[
+Control & ]::Send ^]
+```
+
+Not elegant, but works fine for me.

+I have some latex templates to format documents to create fancy formal
+looking PDF versions of my plaintext mode documents I create in
+*org-mode* in *emacs*, well *spacemacs* actually.
+
+# Installation
+
+Since this are tools built in the UNIX world I expected a protracted
+battle before I got all settings right, especially since there was no
+version of Live Tex in the chocolatey repositories. I never tried MikTex
+before.
+
+## Installing MikTex
+
+That is easy, in an admin shell run :
+
+``` example
+> choco install miktex
+```
+
+This will take a bit so we can already fetch the templates.
+
+## Installing the custom LaTeX templates
+
+I keep my templates in git repositories for easy updating. Some are
+shared with others so new features are sometimes added. Let\'s make a
+place for these
+
+In the msys terminal :
+
+``` example
+$ cd
+$ mkdir -p .local/texmf/tex/latex
+```
+
+I want to use the *.local/texmf* as the local extension folder, but
+*MikTex* will not allow to select it if the *tex/latex* folders are
+missing. Also this is consistent with the Mac and Linux versions.
+
+## Installing the custom templates
+
+Just add the repos for the *.sty* and *.cls* files to the folder we just
+made:
+
+``` example
+$ cd ~/.local/texmf/tex/latex
+$ git clone git@gitlab.xomeplace.com:latex/xomeplace-latex.git
+$ ... repeat for other templates ...
+```
+
+## Configuring MikTex
+
+After installation look for MikTex in the *Start Menu* to start the
+config tool. It will complain that no update has been done yes, so I
+humoured it by updating, none are available since it is just installed,
+but it keeps regularly reminding me to update. I assume this\'ll go away
+once some update arrives.
+
+Add the *texmf* folder we created :
+
+-   Press the \'+\' icon
+-   Navigate the \~/.local/texmf
+-   Confirm
+
+Keep the tool open because we need to copy the location of the *bin*
+folder in the next step.
+
+\## Add the TeX tools to the PATH
+
+I only use the TeX tools from Spacemacs so I\'ll just add it there. The
+Spacemacs dev team decided to make the environment variables, including
+the path, load from a config file. Having been at the receiving end of
+the confusion which follows from the subtle differences when launching
+*Emacs* as daemon, from the GUI menu or from the command line, I
+heartily applaud this approach.
+
+In any case I just update the PATH in *Spacemacs*
+
+-   Space f e e (to open the environment config file)
+-   find the line with PATH= ( *\'*\' PATH Enter, maybe some /n\* to
+    find the one)
+-   Copy the location from the config tool
+-   Paste it in the PATH value (do not forget the \';\' separator)
+-   Esc : w (to save changes)
+-   Space f e E (to reload the new value)
+
+# Using it
+
+Well nothing new here, it kind of just works:
+
+## Creating a PDF
+
+Open an org file with the *LaTeX headers* or add them with *, e e \#*
+and select latex from the list. Check the *LATEX~CLASS~* is one of the
+custom classes.
+
+Then *, e e l o* and ... nothing will happen, ..., well emacs tells it
+is busy with the texfile. It takes a while, taskmaster shows processes
+blinking in and of existence under the Emacs process. I assume MikTex is
+compiling stuff in the background of first use.
+
+Eventually it returns stating PDF export failed and to consult the log
+file.
+
+## Fix Errors
+
+The end of the logfile showed scary things of not being able to write.
+Let\'s ignore those for now : I learned to treat the first errors in the
+LaTeX log output first, and retry and move my way down the log till
+there are no more errors.
+
+First Error : \'Libertine Font\' was not found, a bit further the same
+with \'Lato\'.
+
+Download the fonts, unzip, select all *.ttf* files and right-click
+install.
+
+Try again and the PDF opens ... in the Edge Browser ??? And the Edge
+Browser attached itself to the taskbar??? Again??? I need to tackle that
+some time.
+
+Well, it works. Take the document and send it to those you wanted to
+impress.

+I\'d like to blog more notes on stuff I do and it would be nice to have
+a smooth workflow in my editor of choice.
+
+It is too late to explain a lot, but all these things were proudly found

+
+# Creating the blog project
+
+To deploy to github as a personal blog you have to create a repo in the
+form **\<username\>.github.io**. Since I name my projects the same as
+the repos the name was a quick choice.
+
+The structure is as follows:
+
+``` text
+<root> -+- blog -+- posts -+- <blog posts>
+        |        +- org-template -+- <templates>
+        |        +- css -+- <css files>
+        +- public -+- <built website>
+        +- .github -+- workflow --- main.yml  <github actions>
+        +- publish.el
+        +- Makefile  <local develop actions>
+
+
+```
+
+# Configuring org-publish
+
+This is what the **publish.el** file is for.
+
+Prepare some snippets for the HTML pages
+
+First off, a link to the CSS:
+
+``` elisp
+(setq website-html-head "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"css/site.css\"
+  type=\"text/css\"/>")
+```
+
+Let\'s also add a navigation menu at the top of each page:
+
+``` elisp
+(setq website-html-preamble
+      "<div class=\"nav\">
+<ul>
+<li><a href=\"/\">Home</a></li>
+<li><a href=\"https://github.com/ptillemans\">GitHub</a></li>
+</ul>
+</div>")
+```
+
+And a footer :
+
+``` elisp
+(setq website-html-postamble "<div class=\"footer\"> Copyright 2020 %a (%v
+  HTML).<br> Last updated %C.<br> Built with %c.  </div>")
+```
+
+And now we can all tie it together by creating the
+**org-publish-project-alist**:
+
+``` elisp
+(setq org-publish-project-alist
+      `(("posts"
+
+         ;; configure project structure
+         :base-directory "blog/posts/"
+         :base-extension "org"

+         :publishing-directory "public/css"
+         :publishing-function org-publish-attachment
+         :recursive t)
+
+        ("all" :components ("posts" "css" "blog-static"))))
+```
+
+# Make local testing easy
+
+The commands to build the blog are not hard, but hard to remember and
+hard to type.
+
+Let\'s make a makefile to help:
+
+``` makefile
+.PHONY: all publish publish_no_init
+
+all: publish
+
+publish: publish.el
+    @echo "Publishing... with current Emacs configurations."
+    emacs --batch --load publish.el --funcall org-publish-all
+
+publish_no_init:
+    @echo "Publishing... with --no-init"
+    emacs --batch --no-init --load publish.el --funcall org-publish-all
+
+clean:
+    @echo "Cleaning up..."
+    rm -rf public
+    @rm -rvf *.elc
+    @rm -rvf public
+    @rm -rvf ~/.org-timestamps/*
+
+serve: publish
+    @echo "Serving site"
+    python -m http.server --directory public
+```
+
+For local testing just do:
+
+``` shell
+$ make clean serve
+```
+
+If the only change is new content then not cleaning is much faster.
+
+# Deploy to Github Pages
+
+A slightly modified version of the initial workflow will do the
+publishing:
+
+``` yaml
+# This is a basic workflow to help you get started with Actions
+
+name: CI
+
+# Controls when the action will run. Triggers the workflow on push or pull request
+# events but only for the master branch
+on:
+  push:
+    branches: [ master ]
+  pull_request:
+    branches: [ master ]
+
+# A workflow run is made up of one or more jobs that can run sequentially or in parallel

+  # This workflow contains a single job called "build"
+  build:
+    # The type of runner that the job will run on
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+
+    # Steps represent a sequence of tasks that will be executed as part of the job
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@master
+        with:
+          fetch-depth: 1
+
+      - name: build
+        uses: docker://iquiw/alpine-emacs
+        if: github.event.deleted == false
+        with:

+          PUBLISH_BRANCH: gh-pages
+          PUBLISH_DIR: ./public
+```
+
+Note that you need to put a secret **PERSONAL~ACCESSTOKEN~** with an
+access token which has basic push access to the repo to push the built
+site to the gh-pages branch.
+
+For the emacs call, I just copied the command from the **Makefile**.
+
+After a push the site is usually up by the time I check, say in about a
+minute.
+
+# Setting up a Capture Template
+
+This proved to be the hardest part to get working.
+
+I am using **Doom Emacs** so I wrap everything in
+**with-eval-after-load**.
+
+The challenge was that the title is needed to create the slug for the
+filename and then again as title for the post. So my ugly solution is to
+stuff it in a variable and get the variable back in the template.
+
+``` elisp

+Each time I login using the PIN of my Microsoft account, my mounted
+folders on the NAS are not mounted. After login I get a notification
+that not all mounted drives could be connected. When double clicking on
+the failed mount I get a silly error regarding duplicate sessions or
+something, and I can access after logging in.
+
+This is irritating, but also breaks automations like auto importing

+

+title = "Running Emacs with wsl2-xrdp"
+[taxonomies]
+tags = [ "wsl", "emacs" ]
+categories = ["os", "apps" ]
++++
+# Why
+
+I have been using Emacs in WSL2 using an X server running in Windows and
+that works fine as long as long as the computer does not go to sleep.
+When the computer goes to sleep, the X connection is cut and the emacs
+process crashes. I like to just have my emacs session available so I can
+continue where I was last time and I like my computer to go to sleep
+when I not use it because Global Warming.
+
+-   start emacs in WSL2 in GUI mode
+-   can be reconnected after sleep
+-   copy-paste works transparent
+
+# Plan
+
+-   use **xrdp** as remote desktop is built into windows
+-   configure xrdp to startup in WSL2
+-   run emacs in a remote desktop session
+
+# Installation
+
+## Install xrdp
+
+[Arch wiki page for xrdp](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xrdp)
+
+``` shell
+$ yay -S xrdp xorgxrdp-git
+```
+
+We do not have systemd in WSL2 so I started the daemons manually with a
+small script \*/usr/local/bin/start-xrdp:
+
+``` shell
+#!/bin/bash
+sudo /usr/sbin/xrdp
+sudo /usr/sbin/xrdp-sesman
+```
+
+We can now start it with **start-xrdp** from the bash command line or
+using **wsl -u root /usr/local/bin/start-xrdp**. If not running as root
+(or recently authenticated sudo access) it will ask for your Linux
+password to allow running as **sudo**.
+
+Trying to connect lets me login but after a timeout is shows a dialog
+box telling me Xorg did not want to start. This is confirmed in the
+**/var/log/xrdp-sesman.log** file.
+
+The root cause is that I cannot read properly because if I could, I
+would have read to add *allowed\\~users~=anybody* to the
+**/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config** file to allow **Xorg** to be started by
+regular users like me instead of only **root**.
+
+Once that is there I get a nice black screen after login.
+
+Note: Each time WSL2 restarts it gets a random ip address. So I created
+a small script to dig out the actual ip address out of the output of
+**ip address** :
+
+``` shell
+#!/bin/bash
+ip address show dev eth0 | grep "inet " | sed -e 's/.*inet \([^/]*\).*/\1/'
+```
+
+Which I gave the original name of **/usr/local/bin/ip-address** (do not
+forget to `chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ip-address` to make it executable) so
+I can easily call it from powershell with `wsl ip-address`.
+
+## Installing DBUS replacement
+
+DBUS is the de-facto GNU/Linux desktop communication bus which glues all
+kind of GUI apps together. I do not know if it is directly used by Emacs
+or any of the extensions I use, however it reduces the amount of errors
+and warnings.
+
+``` shell
+$ yay -S dbus-x11
+```
+
+allows xfce and other programs to feel happy and display the desktop
+with an emacs window. Now just maximizing the window and the goal is
+reached.
+
+## Automatic start of Emacs only
+
+In order to just start emacs maximized in a single remote desktop window
+we only need to start it as the only program in the XSession. This of
+course also means there is no chrome on the X-Window or the ability to
+lauch other programs outside of Emacs. This is exactly how I like it.
+
+``` shell
+#file:~/.xinitrc
+emacs -mm
+```
+
+If you rather have a full desktop environment, see further.
+
+## Installing Xfce4 (Optional)
+
+I\'d rather have something more lightweight as window manager, but I
+have experience with Xfce4 in Arch and I also like something which just
+works.
+
+I only intend to run emacs in the window however having something a bit
+more capable which works can help me debug the environment. (I have some
+font things to sort out too...)
+
+``` shell
+$ sudo pacman -S xfce4
+```
+
+and then start it form **\~/.xinitrc**
+
+``` shell
+emacs &
+startxfce4
+```
+
+If you have skipped the **DBUS** setup above, this hangs while the
+**\~/.xorgxrdp.log** file is filling up with errors complaining about
+missing connection to dbus.
+
+# Using this from Windows
+
+## Starting from the command-line
+
+We can start remote desktop session using
+
+    >_ mstsc /v:$(wsl ip-address) /h:2560 /w:1600
+
+This works, however we get now a prompt to accept the certificate and we
+still need to login. We can make this smoother
+
+## Accepting the certificate
+
+You can accept the certificate and let remote desktop add it to your
+certificate stores. This solves this interruption.
+
+However, this still happens each time the ip address changes.
+
+## Automatic login
+
+Start **remote desktop** GUI using the search or from the start menu.
+
+Fill in the ip address returned by `wsl ip-address` and your username.
+Enable the flag to store your password. Login and save the configuration
+as e.g. **emacs.rdp**.
+
+We can now start emacs using
+
+    >_ cmdkey /generic:$(wsl ip-address) /user:<username> /pass:<password>
+    >_ mstsc /v:$(wsl ip-address)
+
+We can assemble this is a small script **wsl-emacs.ps1** somewhere on
+your path:
+
+``` powershell
+wsl -u root /usr/local/bin/start-xrdp
+$address = $(wsl ip-address)
+$userName = "pti"
+$userPwd = "shht!Secret"
+cmdkey /generic:$address /user:$userName /pass:$userPwd
+mstsc /v:$address
+```
+
+Which allows us to start our **wsl-emacs** from powershell or as a
+startup application with a shortcut. It ensures the **xrdp** daemons are
+running (they are idempotent, so the script can be run multiple times),
+then the credentials are created so they can be picked up by remote
+desktop.
+
+To add a shortcut to the start menu:
+
+-   Type Win-R and open
+    \*%AppData%`\Microsoft`{=latex}`\Windows`{=latex}`\Start`{=latex}
+    Menu`\Programs*`{=latex}
+-   create a new shortcut
+-   set as target \*powershell.exe \"&
+    \'\<path-of-script\>`\wsl`{=latex}-emacs.ps1\'
+
+Note the weird **\"&** on the command-line.
+
+## A note on security
+
+Since you can run any command from the windows command-line as root, the
+current logged in person has full access to anything in the WSL Linux
+machines. As such there is not a big hole added by adding your linux
+password somewhere securely in your account files such as the startup
+script.
+
+This does not mean you should not have secure passwords, as your linux
+box can expose its ports (not by default but just assume they are) and
+allow e.g. ssh access. Since I assume a lot of WSL2 hosts will be used
+fast and loose as a development box, there is a good chance that sooner
+or later a port is opened for reasons.
+
+So I would not worry too much your linux box password is exposed in the
+emacs startup script as long as it is hard enough and not used anywhere
+else. If you\'d like to get it from some secure vault on your PC or from
+your infrastructure, go for it.
+
+tldr;
+
+-   use a strong password for your WSL box
+-   do not reuse an existing password
+-   secure your startup script so it is only readable by you.

-Something I already knew became suddenly clear today : the product or product pieces in the WBS and the relation to the activities. Although I already knew for a long time that it is good practice to make the WBS deliverable oriented instead of activity oriented it remained always a gradient where activities blended seamlessly in deliverables. The key was that I used a mental trick derived from 'Getting Things Done', which says that you must write your activities action oriented, with a verb, active voice, i.e. do something. I was rephrasing the activities this way (more bang per spreadsheet cell).  Now I applied this reasoning to the WBS work packages, but I rewrote it as things, or part of things. Again the clarity improved considerably and wordiness got down. And then : klabammm.... flash of light : activities were clearly separated from the WBS work packages, the grey area between them was gone!!!. I am quite sure if I read my PM books again I will find this trick in every single one, but I had to "invent" it myself before I understood and felt it, instead of just knowing it.

 2011-07-22 Fri 16:33 [Figure out proxy settings Linux](snamellit.html#ID-c965ad9d-522b-4dfe-9574-b8d2a78c83a3) Ubuntu has a Network Proxy chooser which allows you to select a location (a la MacOSX). This works well enough except that the UI is a bit counter-intuitive (in my humble opinion)which causes me to regularly nuke some predefined setting inadvertently. This is not a big deal though. However for update manager (and several other tools) to pick up the new proxy settings you need to push the settings down to the system level. This takes 2 times typing your password. Now, this IS a big deal. When I go back and forth between work and home I have to change this at least 2 times per day. Also it irks me that a detail setting like the proxy is not auto-detected and I need to login to change this 'system' setting. My laptop is essentially a single user system and I do not see switching the proxy as a serious security issue, even with 3 kids running around the home. To come back to auto-detection, while this works fine at work, it fails to figure out that at home that there is a direct connection to the Internet. I can probably fix this by replacing my aging wireless router with my Time Capsule as the Internet gateway router, but I prefer to have the Time Capsule close to my desk. In any case the **Network proxy** shows 2 times the authentication dialog box. A particularly nice feature (Is this new in Natty?) is that the dialog shows for which DBUS setting access is being asked. The first dialog asks access to **com.ubuntu.systemservice.setProxy**. This response is configured in the file **/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/com.ubuntu.systemservice.policy**. This is a very readable XML file which contains a section for the **setProxy** action. I feel no reservation in allowing unchecked access to the **setProxy**. Although this might make a man-in-the-middle attack easier someone with the sophistication to pull this off, does not need to doctor my PC to do it.

 Org Mode can use the idle time to correct time tracking entries. On the Mac this works on the idle time of the computer, on other platforms it uses the idle time of emacs. Hence if you do a significant task in another program it will be idle for org-mode. There is a little program delivered with org-mode sources to estimate the "real" idle time based on the information used by screensavers. Unfortunaltely it is in source code and needs to be compiled first. Everything is actually well documented, just scattered. Let's see where that little program is located

 I went to the PMI Benelux Day today. The theme today was _A symphony of Knowledge,_ a theme which ran through the plenary sessions topics. I choose to see the use of earned value techniques applied to the Galileo project presented by Francois Picaut. It was interesting to see how this technique was applied in a quite straightforward manner by just entereing the AC provided by the accountants and the EV provided by the products completed at roughly biweekly milestones. All other performance numbers were calculated from these numbers_._ One learning was that in the case of subcontracted work under a FFP contract, the EV = AC. Of course once you think it over this is evident, but this quarter took a while to drop. Some additional metrics were defined like the ES (Earned Schedule, or the time when the current EV should have been reached) and 'To Complete Performance Indexes' in their cost and scope variations. Apprently these metrics should show the effectiveness of the project management when plotted over time.  He applied EVT on FFP projects with good success as part of project assurance. One anekdote was the case when the project manager presented a 'project on track' report while the EV calculations showed the project would end with a 1.000.000EUR loss. This triggered a discussion about the variances which triggered corrective actions. As such this proved the value of the method to confirm the results from bottom-up or other estimates.  In the area of risk management presented Daniel vander Borcht a session about why the ABCD methodology works where so many other risk management approaches fail. ABCD stnds for Assumption Based Communication Dynamics and a key part is the central role of assumptions in this model. Next to the classic issue register and risk register a assumption register is introduced. I need to research this some more Jean Diederich presented the Test Monkeys and Banana Software talk. He made the case that thinking of testing still occurs way too late in the project. He proposes to involve tests at the earliest opportunity to help start the acceptance test design, release test design, ... in parallel to development rather than afterwards. This is the same story I heard from Suzanne Robertson a couple of weeks ago in the context of requirement gathering. This confirms again my conviction that a good requirements process will make life in the project considerably easier.  A last presentation was by Hedda Pahlson-Muller regarding KPO's or knowledge process outsourcing. This was a very instructive talk which clarified this form of outsourcing. Roughly they provide analysts or other knowledge workers in the company the possibility to have an external team to do the legwork and provide collected data for further analysis by the company itself. Due to this business model they face a glass ceiling to the service they cannot deliver analysis or recommendations. For this they are looking for PM/Consultants to use their experience to analyse and interprete the data for the companies which ask this. Nice interesting day, bought a couple of books, talked PM with other people. Time well spent.

 Ubuntu contains a nice notification system to talk to the user about noteworthy events. However when the message dissappears, by default, it is gone. Often I am busy with something else when the notification pops up and I pay little notice. Then somewhere in my brain, something gets triggered by a word, and by the time I focus on the message to **really** read it, the message disappears. Some of these appear after booting or logging in, so it is not trivial to redisplay them. Then I really need a system for logging notification messages for reading what I missed. Ideally there was a scroll back buffer in the notification feature. Maybe there is, but I didn't find it.

 Dotfiles, can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em. Dot files are the term for folders and files starting with a '.' so they do not show upwhen using plain **ls**. Tha Mac has a cool keycode to toggle visibility of dotfiles in the **File Open/Save** dialog, but this does not work in the finder for one reason or another. In practice this meant I had to deal with dotFiles and dotDriectories I found on the net some incantation to force the setting for the finder to show/hide the dotfiles. Upon restarting the finder the widows will reopen with the updated setting. I found on the net some snippets of sh script (but I forgot where and cannot immediately retrieve it), and I immediately dumped them in my **~/bin** folder. ~/bin/hide-dotfiles :

-The Mac has a great utility called Divvy to easily map windows to loacation on the screen using the keyboard. Fiddling with the mouse to get multiple windows in the right location is a productivity killer and a pain in the neck (or shoulder, or elbow, or …) Ubuntu (and of course any other Linux distro with compiz) has a similar feature built in as a plugin for compiz. Type Alt-F2 and enter **ccsm** + Return in the command prompt to launch the CompizConfig Settings manager. Select the **Window Management** from the left menu and enable the **Grid** plugin. Click on it so you can look at the key bindings in the **Bindings** tab. If you are on a desktop or a big laptop with a separate numeric keyboard you are set. As you can see the locations for the windows are by default mapped in a logical fashion like the arrow keys on the numeric keypad. However my laptop does not have a separate numeric keyboard and enabling it before typing the key code is a pain. Remapping them is easy by clicking on the button with the key code. A window appears with a **Grab key code** button. Click it and type the new keycode you want to assign it to. If there is a conflict, you will get a window explaingin the conflict and asking how to resolve it. My first attempt was to remap the laptop numeric keys using the super keys. This conflicted with the unity launcher since the top row 7-8-9 map to the apps in the launcher. To avoid conflicts I use now Control-Super with the keys around the j-key (which is the home key for the right hand) Also autokey (a text macro expander) is mapped to Super-K
