Solving the EVIL java SSL issue

Same 'ol | Website | Work At-Site

Testing web applications in developmental environments that attempt to utilize Https through unsigned certificates can be challenging, especially if you’ve never had the pleasure of working with Sun’s keytool utility and X.509 security certificates.

This issue manifests itself as javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeExceptions and sun.security.validator.ValidatorExceptions. For example, attempting to access untrusted Https through Java may yield stack traces with these tidbits:

Javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException:
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException:
PKIX path building failed:
sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException:

Stay away from CarsDirect.com My Advice on a BMW 335i

Bay Area | Furious | Philosophy

I finally purchased my 2008 335i Sedan!

First of all, I wanted to thank everyone on these forums and encourage everyone to read as much as you can and participate!

I am writing this email in hopes that other newbies out there can learn from my mistakes and I wanted to give something back to the forum, granted not everyone might agree with my point of view, but I'm just sharing what I went through.

So the quest for a new car began 4 weeks ago and I narrowed down my choice to a 335i Sedan out of a IS350 (didn't like the disconnect from the road and the small windows!) and the G35S (its a great car, but its in between, jack of all trades, master of none)

[Mumbai - Day 1] Airport to Awakening, ramblings of man

Tired | Travel | Work In-Company

Hey All-

Unfortunately, my email from the second flight didn’t send, so you get a two for one deal! That’s right this email contains both rants/raves about the flight from Frankfurt to Mumbai and my Mumbai experience as of 4/8 – 6:00pm!

Let’s start with the whole I need a ‘cell phone’ in India concept.. (since this is what is currently on my mind) I knew I would need a phone, but I didn’t realize how dependent you get with it and NO I don’t mean the kind where I like to just talk to people.. I’m talking about using a cell phone as a means of meeting people and more importantly informing your driver of your whereabouts so he can find you in the onslaught of the bajallion other brown people in india. Then one must ask the question.. how did we do it before? Since I didn’t have a cell phone today, I decided not to meet up with some friends (yes that could have been a stupid mistake.. but I just didn’t want to deal with the idea of going to a place.. and then have to frantically look for the person until we met.. I can say.. that even with having a cell phone.. meeting up with people isn’t ideal.. so now add in the fact that I’m in india, going to a place I don’t even know how to get to, and then expecting to meet a person.. I’m going to wait for my cell phone!)

Day 0 - In the Airplane from SFO -> Frankfurt, ramblings of a man..

Tired | Travel | Work At-Site

Holla-

lets sync up with where I left out:

For those that don’t know, I am currently in schedule to be in Mumbai: 4/8-4/27 for work (If you want anything, let me know! I have already printed out a list of peoples’ bio-data)

I boarded the flight from sfo to frankfurt at 1.55pm.. Everything was fine and dandy.. until of course I sit down.. I sit next to a heavy-set individual that we will call MOTOOO.. which makes moving around very uncomfortable.. I’m pretty much playing fencing every couple of minutes with my elbow against his.... and of course..every now and then.. I slip and find myself crammed against the wall of the plane.. window seats!

Intellectual Superhero
Intellectual Superhero is neither an intellectual nor a superhero, but don’t tell him that! The Intellectual Superhero is easily identified by his complete inability to allow a class period to pass by without asking at least 654 questions designed to show how "witty" and "clever" he is. He will attempt to prove the professor wrong in every class with his inane bullshit, regardless of the fact that the professor has a doctorate in the field. If it’s a science course, the Intellectual Superhero will attempt to solve every problem using an alternate method, which is always incorrect. But don’t worry; he’ll still manage to waste 20 minutes of your life with his insane method of solving the problem. At least you’ll get to laugh at him when the professor proves him wrong.

An 'Ode to the Letter V - from V for Vendetta

Quote | Same 'ol

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
