After installing Cygwin and setting up a new home directory with a .ssh directory and a config file. You may find that you need to run ssh with -F to help it find the ~/.ssh/config file.
If this is the case. Double check that $HOME is set correctly. Next look at your entry in /etc/passwd. If you find that it has a different home directory you’ve found the problem. Turns out ssh doesn’t look at $HOME but to the setting in /etc/passwd.
One easy way to fix this is with mount. Mount the incorrect home in /etc/passwd to the correct one. For example, my incorrect home is /etc/brad and the correct is c:\home\brad. This is fixed with the following.
mount -s -f c:\\home\\brad /home/brad
By default Firefox stores your bookmarks in your profile. This is buried in under your name in Windows under ‘Documents and Settings’.
In my working from elsewhere project I needed to store my bookmarks under my own ‘home’ directory so I could manage them with CVS. With this I can work elsewhere, checkin at the end of the day, return home and do and update and continue.
To accomplish this you need to create a small file call user.js and store in your Firefox profile. This file tells Firefox to use another location to store your bookmarks. Here is a sample user.js file:
// Specify which bookmarks file to use:
user_pref(
“browser.bookmarks.file”, “C:\\home\\brad\\firefox\\bookmarks.html”
);
I just found a useful plug-in for Eclipse that analyzes your Java code. It’s available at http://eclipse-cs.sourceforge.net/index.html.
I used the Remote install feature of Eclipse to install it. Here are the instructions.

A list of David S. Ware recordings sorted by recording date and release date.
I shorted the list to recent recording and list them here for convenience. The Allmusic list follows as well.
