A few weeks (months?) ago I noticed that the del.icio.us login page would no longer get auto-filled with my saved username/password information in Firefox. This is presumably Yahoo trying to be uber-secure, but for me, it’s just an annoyance … my Firefox passwords are secured by a Master Password, and having the fields autocomplete just saves me time every morning when I get online. Luckly, Elliotte Rusty Harold had noticed this mis-feature too, and has found a solution to get del.icio.us to accept the passwords remembered by Firefox. Be sure to read the comments to his post, since his helpful readers have provided several solutions … take your pick !
The easiest way I found was this Greasemonkey script which turns off autocomplete for all sites. You can change the site list to only include http*://*.del.icio.us/* if you want.
GVim, one of the graphical versions of vim for X11, has a handy feature … you can edit remote files over ssh. Launch GVim, and issue the command:
:e scp://username@someremotehost/./path/to/file
where username is your username on the remote server, someremote host is the hostname or ip of the server and /./path/to/file is just that … the path to the file on the remove server. Everytime you save with :w, the changes get transfered.
When used in combination with ssh-keys to avoid typing your password every time, this can make editing remote files really quick and easy.
