So I'm working on this project that involves talking to routers.  What baffles me is a Cisco router has a feature in its copy command to do and "scp" secure copy, but it gives you no way to configure what port you want to have it talk on.  Sure thats fine and good if your ssh server is running on a standard port 22.

Unfortunately for me the ssh server I need it to talk to is not on a standard port

RESULT: mike is sad.

So i finally finished my initial work on an Android application that lets me walk off ranges using GPS.

The application doesn't have a flashy UI or anything but it does allow you to see your current long and lat, along with the accuracy of the position.  When you're ready you can mark your current position and walk to wherever you want, and when you mark again it gives you the total distance in yards between those two points in a straight line.

Essentially I made this app because it would be useful to me when I'm golfing to know the dstances I'm hitting my clubs.  Plus it ended up being a good exercise in writing a basic android app using the Location API.  There were a bunch of pitfalls I had to work out. Most of them got worked out by this helpful stackoverflow q/a.

Anyway here's the GitHub link:

If I ever make a google android market account I'll post the app there, but currently this is too rough for me to care about that at the moment.
