equivocal ramblings

Aman Yus asks how to save the default settings for putty without having to type out Default Settings. I’ve run into this question myself, and I keep rediscovering and then promptly forgetting how it’s done, so for posterity, here it is:

Load the Default Settings session, make all the changes you want, then go back to the sessions list and (without clicking anything else) click Save.

It is actually that simple. Somewhat unintuitive, but … it works.

I sent an email to the Malaysian Open Source mailing list about how I couldn’t seem to find any PHP programmers worth hiring and it generated quite a bit of buzz.

This morning though, something struck me. Despite this seeming desperation, you’ll not find programming jobs paying above average salaries. Interesting isn’t it? Perhaps there are programmers for hire, but they simply find it more lucrative to take jobs in other sectors? Combine that with the fact that not many would want a job that made thinking mandatory and it certainly seems to be a problem…
