SLife Window spontaneously reopens (Mac)

Instead of minimizing SLife (which would take up more space in the task bar) I like to close the window instead. When I do this, SLife keeps running. However, the window seems to spontaneously reopen again, with no apparent trigger on my part. It would be preferable if SLife could follow the OS X convention of running windowless, until the user clicks on the running app icon, or the app regains focus.

I don't have CPU issues, but memory has become a real problem. If Slife is allowed to run continuously for a couple of days, it can easily creep up to over 250Mb of RAM usage. That is way too much for what the app is doing.

Chris replied on April 06, 2009 18:51 to the question "Activity : Track IM conversations with specified people?" in Slife Labs:

Yes that does work. Thanks for the tip. It would be nice if Slife could detect the current selected iChat tab. I'm reluctant to give up iChat's tabbed chat feature - its very useful in reducing window clutter.

Activity : Track IM conversations with specified people?

Is it possible to create an activity that groups IM conversations with one or more IM buddies?

Chris started following the question "changing application icons..." in Slife Labs.

Chris started following the question "Active document not detected with Java app" in Slife Labs.

Subversion 1.5?

What version of Subversion is Beanstalk using? (1.5 has some valuable new features...)

Chris reported a problem in Beanstalk on September 11, 2008 16:42:

Signup, login and password-change are not secure

Yesterday I noticed that Beanstalk's sign-up, login and account edit screens do not submit passwords securely. If you're performing these actions on a shared/untrusted network, there's a risk that somebody could sniff your password and gain access to your account information and/or your otherwise secure repository.
I brought this up with Chris Nagele yesterday on CampFire who said that they would secure the affected screens.
If you're concerned about this risk, in the meantime until this issue is resolved, you can take the precaution of changing your password on a trusted network, i.e. "Don't do this on Starbuck's wifi".
