I have a Wacom tablet which a very nice pointing device when drawing vector images, but did you know you could paint with it as well? MyPaint and ArtRage are both great tools to paint virtually. Unfortunately MyPaint is not available for the OSX platform. Interested? Check out the examples made in MyPaint and ArtRage.

You might know Aptana, which is a free, on Eclipse based Javascript IDE. Aptana has several nice features like autocompletion and code formatting. You might know Lint as well. Lint is a tool which checks your code from well known coding errors which do not necessarily cause weird program behaviour. It turned out there is JSLint as well, which is Lint for Javascript. The nice thing is that Aptana natively supports JSLint code verification. Out of the box Aptana uses the Mozilla Javascript Validator.
In order to change your validator launch Aptana and click Window -> Preferences. Then goto Aptana -> Editors -> Javascript -> Validation. Now check the JSLint checkbox. Click [Apply] and you are good to go. You might want to uncheck the Mozilla Javascript checkbox.

When I entered my password I could not connect. This was weird since I was 100% sure about the correctness. To be sure I resetted all my imap box passwords using:
This didn’t fix it either. Then I read on a website about the saslauthd daemon not running. I restarted the service and everything worked as normal 
My guess is that an Ubuntu update stopped the saslauthd daemon but did not restart it.
