Dont call yourself a programmer (2011)

Several years ago I was doing advertising websites, one of our customers was (Pfizer? Bayer? both were customers) they had developed a drug against Dupuytren's contracture[1] and apparently found it effective enough against Peyronie's that we were asked to create a website describing this (possibly off label) use of that drug.

Honestly I have no idea if it was effective or not, nor do I know anything about the side effects, but just in case you were unaware of that particular option I want to put it out there.

From what I can find, doing an online search along that path it might have been Xiaflex/Xiapex by Pfizer.

(Not paid by anyone in this particular business anymore, just remembered it when I read your comment).

[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dupuytren%27s_contracture

A close friend of mine has been in and out of the job market for years with various diagnosis, including stress, depression, anxiety, OCD, one doctor even suggested brain damage.

She was diagnosed with ADHD and ADD a few years ago, got medication for it which cleared up most of the above symptoms. She has now held a steady job, although at a reduced workload, for a few years.

Logitech Cordless Optical TrackMan

I have no idea why they made it wireless, it ate batteries like crazy, but its still the best trackball I've ever owned.

Having the ball at your middle and ring finger gave better control than the thumb driven ones.

You can still get it on places like amazon, but at a ridiculous price, 10-20 times what it originally retailed for.

Ok, just to make things clear, and to make sure I understand, an attack could look like this;

1. I trick you into using my GitEvil Repository Service (GERS™).

2. After you upload your data, I swap target site information (in this case name) with the name for GERS™.

3. Next time you log in to GERS™, you accidentally send the login information for target site instead.

4. Profit

In that case, keeping with the wish to keep the manager searchable without the master password, would it be possible to mitigate this by HMAC'ing the encrypted password with, for instance, the site name?

As should be obvious from the above, I'm no crypto expert.

I'm not sure why that happens, but for me the language gives me 2 extra bits of information.

1. Cool, it'll run anywhere i need it to (presumably) without dependencies.

2. Cool, I love that language, I wonder how they did it.

For many other languages, the checkbox for 2 will be ticked as well though.

Off the top of my head it should:

- Work offline

- Work on multiple platforms

- Encrypt the passwords

- Backups/distribution should not be dependent on a single provider

- Ease of use (command line is fine, great even, but for the love of god make it simple)

- Not require me to remember to copy around an encryption key

- Open source is a great bonus
