I've been unable to connect to the jabber.org server using centericq, and after a bit of google-ing, I've found the reason why. It turns out that centericq sends a request for iq:agents, which is deprecated. ejabberd returns with 503 Service Unavailable, and centericq disconnects immediately. The fix for this is to simply stop centericq from sending this request. In src/hooks/jabberhook.cc comment out the following lines:

x = jutil_iqnew(JPACKET__GET, NS_AGENTS);

According to the HCL, my network card (an Intel EtherExpress 10/100) isn't natively supported by Solaris, and this can easily be confirmed with the handy Installation Check Tool. However, after a bit of research, I'm fairly certain that it does in fact work with the iprb driver. So, let's let Solaris know this.

Searching the ouput of prtconf -pv for 00020000 (the class-code for

GPG subkeys marked with the "authenticate" capability can be used for public key authentication with SSH. This is done using gpg-agent which, using the --enable-ssh-support option, can implement the agent protocol used by SSH.

Requirements

A working gpg2 setup is required. It may be possible to use gpg 1.4 but with gpg-agent compiled from gpg2. If you are using OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) then you may find the instructions [here][1] useful.

Here is how I make the viewing experience on YouTube that little bit more pleasant (using Safari).

Firstly, I opt-in to the YouTube HTML5 trial which replaces Flash videos with H.264.

Next, I install the [A Cleaner Internet][2] Safari extension which declutters a lot of the site.

Finally, I apply a stylesheet which removes the "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player" warning that appears when flash is not installed (user.css). If a video requires flash then I open it in Google Chrome using the "Open With..." part of the Develop menu.
