cvs unknown host error

I am getting a but rusty on cvs. I went to run cvs up on a project and got "unknown host error". A google search did not yield anything useful. Playing around with it, my problem was that the host was not added to ssh's known hosts. I sshed to the host and accepted it into known hosts. Then cvs worked fine.

Mac OS X Desktop Switching bug fixed by making Java 6 your default

As readers will know, Apple released Java 6 for 64 bit intel architectures this week.

What you may not know, is that making it your first preference in the "Java Application Runtime Settings" "Java Preference" app in Utilities, fixes a nasty app switching bug you get when using spaces.

That bug is that if you change away from a space and then change back, the Java app you had in focus has gone and it is fiddly to get back.

Curlew Retreat is now open

Curlew Retreat is now open. Curlew Retreat is a luxury villa on a one hundred acre estate located just to the north east of Stanthorpe. It overlooks a beautiful gorge on the Maryland River.

 

This has been a project of mine for the past couple of years which has now come to fruition.

It is a nice place to get away to. Because of the height which is 2,800 feet above sea level it has a cool crisp climate with frosts about 5 months of the year. Day time temperatures tend to be 4-6 degrees cooler than Brisbane.
