I have evaluated GNU Jami a few times for screensharing. They had some tweaking to do a year ago, I haven't checked recently. I really like their network model, no servers.

Recently I've been using Openboard ( http://openboard.ch/ ) while screensharing. Yes its not a team board, but at least it's local. It helps me explain concepts to others easily.

I've been seeking a terminal based CRUD for ages.

Obscurity is just one more security tactic. Security by obscurity as the only defense is bad. As an additional layer to many defenses it is a sound choice. You still paint camoflag…

I use an older project called pwsafe that is careful about what memory the passwords are stored in, and uses an AES encrypted flat file database for minimum calls. I've been very h…

I have looked at npyscreen too. Both are lower level to my knowledge.

TUI != GUI.

I just had an extended discussion on IRC the other day regarding Turbo Vision and console applications. I had a short project of my own I wanted to do to replace a webapp I depend …

Are there any surviving text based database CRUD systems? Please ignore the Text vs Web vs GUI debate, assume there are valid reasons for continuing with a text user interface. I s…
