Open Water Haigh Quarry

We took a group of open water students to Haigh Quarry yesterday.  Here is some video of our dives.  I apologize in advance for the shaky video.  I have yet to master the skills of an underwater videographer.

 

My Public PGP Key.

Since the NSA is reading all of our emails I decided I might start encrypting mine just to make their job a little harder.  If you want email conversation with me (Doug.Pieper@gmail.com) to be private here is my Public PGP Key.   For more information on PGP encryption visit http://openpgpjs.org. If you are using Gmail and Chrome try the Mailvelope extension for simple  PGP encryption.

Apple block Java fix

On or around 1/30/2013 Apple pushed a update to OSX computers that is causing issues with Java and InSite (See Story).   At this time this is the only know fix for this problem.

  • Log into the machine as Administrator and open Terminal. 
  • Enter the following command into terminal:

sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Delete :JavaWebComponentVersionMinimum" /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.meta.plist

  • Hiit return.
  • You will be prompted for your password. 
  • Reboot the machine 


After rebooting the computer InSite should again work using Java.
