Yahoo! Personals is offering a free Personality Test. It’s a fun little, Flash-based test that takes only about 10 minutes to complete and then you get a report which tells you aboout your personality type and what type of personality types would make good mates for you. You don’t even need to login to Yahoo! to take it.
Disclaimer: I work for Yahoo! Personals and I also get a referral fee if you complete this test.

My wife and I bought an “in basket” and it really does help corral all the miscellaneous things that used to take up the whole kitchen table. Amazing what happens when you just set aside a particular space to contain something…
Cygwin resources:
If you’re attempting to ssh to a Cygwin box that is on a Windows domain and you get immediately logged out – e.g.:
Last login: Wed Jan 5 17:57:36 2005 from foo.somedomain.net Fanfare!!! You are successfully logged in to this server!!! Connection to bar.somedomain.net closed.
Then try these Cygwin-specific commands:
