Profile Summary for the Enneagram Type Five
Healthy: Observe everything with extraordinary perceptiveness and insight. Most mentally alert, curious, searching intelligence: nothing escapes their notice. Foresight and prediction. Able to concentrate: become engrossed in what has caught their attention. / Attain skillful mastery of whatever interests them. Excited by knowledge: often become expert in some field. Innovative and inventive, producing extremely valuable, original works. Highly independent, idiosyncratic, and whimsical. At Their Best: Become visionaries, broadly comprehending the world while penetrating it profoundly. Open-minded, take things in whole, in their true context. Make pioneering discoveries and find entirely new ways of doing and perceiving things.

Average: Begin conceptualizing and fine-tuning everything before acting -- working things out in their minds: model building, preparing, practicing, and gathering more resources. Studious, acquiring technique. Become specialized, and often "intellectual," often challenging accepted ways of doing things. / Increasingly detached as they become involved with complicated ideas or imaginary worlds. Become preoccupied with their visions and interpretations rather than reality. Are fascinated by off-beat, esoteric subjects, even those involving dark and disturbing elements. Detached from the practical world, a "disembodied mind," although high-strung and intense. / Begin to take an antagonistic stance toward anything which would interfere with their inner world and personal vision. Become provocative and abrasive, with intentionally extreme and radical views. Cynical and argumentative.

Journal Journal: RSS within firewall [Mozilla Firebird + Newsmonster]

Got Newsmonster working within Firebird 0.6 . Interestingly, there is no straight forward solution to get this working within a firewall that requires user authorization. Newsmonster will popup the authorization window for every RSS feed it's hitting at. I have about 20 (mostly defaults with Newsmonster) feeds, which means I have to keep entering my login and password 20 times. Realy silly. So, I setup Internet Junkbusters Proxy (TM) which is a GPLed Proxy. The simple steps:-
1. Dumped my Proxy-Authorization key (got by monitoring the connection using the proxy) in the ini file, added a few sites for which I wanted cookies to be enabled (slashdot, some email sites), setup proxy forwarding.
2. Switched my browser to localhost and the port on which I had bound Proxy and Voila. I never have to enter my login again and Newsmonster works like a breeze.
And, yeah, Newsmonster will complain about Firebird Beta..blah..blah..It works alright, anyway. Except for the annoying way in which the Sidebar for NewsMonster is hidden.
