An expert in C, and a proficient/competent programmer in many other languages (including, C++, Java, VB, Perl, PHP, Javascript), my involvement with open-source dates back to my Amiga days. I have contributed to a number of projects, participating in a variety of roles, including advocate, patch submitter, developer, and maintainer. My (eclectic) computing interests include data communications and networking, compiler construction, configuration management, user interface/interaction design, software maintenance, and software quality improvement.
After many years at a leading provider of mobile workforce management solutions, supplying companies in the energy, telecommunications, broadband, public safety, transportation, and field service industries, I am now the principal software developer / software consultant at VIP Software Technologies Inc. I have held a number of IT positions, including Programmer/Analyst, Engineering Team Lead, and Technical Manager, in addition to earlier stints in accounting, sales support, shipping and receiving, and inventory management. My expanding domain knowledge also includes equities and forex trading, and real estate. In fact, I'm a registered real estate sales representative in Ontario.
Location: Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Ontario, Canada (after many years in Greater Vancouver, BC)

After protracted debate about "the right way" and rationalizing "that's how cp works" -- whether right or wrong -- Nautilus developers listened to the users and pushed out a fix.
A new File Management Preference (under the "Behaviors" tab) would have been my preference, but that's just me...

In a subdirectory off my web root (and root of a virtual host), I have a .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^anthonpang\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://anthonpang.com/$1 [R,L]
The URL (yes, I left off the trailing slash):
http://example.com/anthonpangcom
Mysteriously becomes:
http://example.com//home/robocoder/public_html/anthonpang
I say mysterious, because the behaviour depends on the domain I use in RewriteRule. For example, anthonpang.ca does get rewritten correctly.
That said, it's probably "minor" as I don't expect to publish or link to the subdirectory-based URL when this goes "live".

DomainKeys is dead. Long live DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail).Oh goody...it looks like cpanel does have support for setting up DKIM. I'll have to ask my hosting provider if it's available on shared hosting accounts.

I can't say this was a welcome/needed distraction, given everything else on my plate, but this was "low hanging fruit", so to speak, and I needed to feel like I accomplished something today.
