SO let me to YUI Compressor, an impressive JavaScript code minimization tool.

Rust looks like a pretty interesting language. Found via lambda the ultimate.

Just a test

Vrapper, Vim-like editing in Eclipse

This looks like it might be really nice!

Back to blogging after Velocity to be read later.

WinSCP is pretty nice.

Figuring out how to generate documention for ActionScript 3/Flex 4 code using Adobe's ASDoc tool from within Flash Builder has been quite a journey.

Helpful information:

• http://www.peterelst.com/blog/2009/06/08/flash-builder-4-beta-exporting-asdoc-documentation/ This was the most helpful resource that I found! Found by searching Google for "Flash Builder" asdoc

• http://wiki.github.com/viatropos/style/workflow-tips Solution to ASDoc errors, found by googling for asdoc "[Fatal Error] toplevel.xml"

• All the text content in the comments must resolve to valid HTML. For example, <> does not validate with the SAX parser that ASDoc uses, so you would instead need to do <>. Also the character & by itself is invalid, use & instead.

Things that didn't work:

• The program called "ASDocr" wouldn't even install.
• the instructions at undefined-type.com/2008/11/asdoc-with-flex-compiler/ were good, but for a
• visiblearea.com/visdoc/
• stackoverflow.com/questions/129405/can-i-use-doxygen-to-document-actionscript-code Basically, it's not a good idea to use DoxyGen for AS3. DoxyGen can word wonferfully for other things though..

I have many fond memories of hours spent with my younger sister and brother playing The Legend of Kyrandia.

So I really didn't want to remember an insane password to connect to my OpenVPN, and I don't have the luxury of controller the certificate signing, meaning that I can't create a signed key certificate file to use.

Disclaimer: I realize the solution described in this post is not ideal, but IMO it's better than keeping the password in a plain-text file on the desktop (like my boss does).

AutoHotkey can be found here.

AHK Script:

 #Persistent
 SetTimer, EnterAuth, 250
 return
 
 EnterAuth:
 Process, wait, openvpn-gui.exe, 2
 If %ErrorLevel% = 0
 {
 Run, C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN\config\shortcut.lnk
 Sleep, 2000
 }
 IfWinExist OpenVPN - User Authentication
 {
 ControlSetText, Edit1, {USERNAME}, OpenVPN - User Authentication ahk_class #32770
 ControlSetText, Edit2, {PASSWORD}, OpenVPN - User Authentication ahk_class #32770
 ControlSend, Edit1, {Enter}, OpenVPN - User Authentication ahk_class #32770
 ExitApp
 }
 return

Where {USERNAME}/{PASSWORD} get replaced by your OpenVPN username and password, and the shortcut.lnk is a shortcut to openvpn with the connect command, i.e.:

 "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui-1.0.3.exe" --connect my-openvpn-config.ovpn

I then compiled the executable and added a scheduled task to run after user logon to run the executable and trigger OpenVPN to launch. It works great.
