A smarter bookmarklet for Pinboard.in; wraps selected text in <blockquote> tags, keeps variables out of the global scope, supports filling tags from rel="tag" markup in the page, and titles from hAtom entry titles.
(function() {
// Change `silent` to true to invoke the promptless, self-closing
// version of the bookmarklet.
var silent = false;
var url = location.href;
var title = document.title;
// Look for a single hAtom entry on the page, and iff one is found, extract
// the entry-title in place of the document title:

OpenConnect VPN on Mac OS X

Unfortunately, the Cisco AnyConnect client for Mac conflicts with Pow. And by "conflicts", I mean it causes a grey-screen-of-death kernel panic anytime you connect to the VPN and Pow is installed.

As an alternative, there is OpenConnect, a command-line client for Cisco's AnyConnect SSL VPN.

Here's how to get it set up on Mac OS X:

  1. OpenConnect can be installed via homebrew:

     brew update
    

brew install openconnect
