Quick python example of using yaml
'''
This is a quick reference example to get you started with yaml. Please review this,
but spend the time to fully read the wikipedia page on yaml:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaml
Note that the magic quote-less yaml parsing will still always strip values.
To avoid this you need to use quotes. Quotes can also force types to string type,
and are always valid (meaning omitting quotes is for convenience not necessity).

OpenConnect VPN on Mac OS X

Unfortunately, the Cisco AnyConnect client for Mac conflicts with Pow. And by "conflicts", I mean it causes a grey-screen-of-death kernel panic anytime you connect to the VPN and Pow is installed.

As an alternative, there is OpenConnect, a command-line client for Cisco's AnyConnect SSL VPN.

Here's how to get it set up on Mac OS X:

  1. OpenConnect can be installed via homebrew:

     brew update
    

brew install openconnect
