On (Off) Track with One More Lap

After looking at my running for the first two weeks of January, I see I am on track - that is to say, mileage wise - with the Nick Symmonds #OneMoreLap challenge.

Of course, this is all on road for me, not actually the track, but I'll just keep adding 1 mile starting January 17th (to be 5 miles that day) and every fourth day thereafter to keep pace and complete the challenge.

Play on Works

Work is a contact between you and someone else guaranteeing your compliance in an unsatisfying activity for an agreed upon price. Fun is an agreement with yourself or others to do something for which no monetary compensation is required to asuage dissatisfaction. Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy everything else.

Notepad++ Git Integration**

I've been trying to get Git integration in Notepad++ with a plugin for some time now. I came up with a project based on someone else's attempt at converting an SVN plugin to Git. It works, but certainly not ideal. It basically provides buttons to call command lines of Git for Windows, which I always have installed.

I'd heard of Tortoise Git, but didn't want another version of Git installed - but after some research, that's not how it works. In fact, it's exactly what I want!

Net-SNMP on Windows with SSL

Recently, I found my older Windows version (5.2.2) of the Net-SNMP tools didn't have support for AES privacy protocol for SNMPv3 when I tried to use it. I grabbed the latest pre-compiled Windows binaries (5.6.1.1) from the site and found they didn't have AES support either. After some reading, I found I needed OpenSSL DLLs and old ones at that - version 0.98. This wasn't going to work; I was going to need to compile this myself.

I tried with MinGW included with Strawberry Perl, but 'gmake.exe' kept giving errors. Now I needed Microsoft Visual Studio Community and some help.
