I recently downloaded a neat java tool for managing certificate files - like PEM, PFX, etc.. From memory it was written in Java but, for the life of me i can't find it (cleared download list and non-obvious file name!).
This led me to throw open the question - what free tools are there for managing certs? The aforementioned tool could generate certs as well as display them via it's UI.
I just want something to track my certs and generally make it easier to view their details without having to use formal CA tooling or keytool/other cmd line tools JUST to see which certs i'm dealing with.
A colleague of mine has found a whole bunch - including the one that i'd used before (Portecle). Thanks Shayne!

Or this: http://www.gria.org/downloads/tpc/keytool-gui-zip/griafile_view (apparently superseded by this commercial product: http://www.lazgosoftware.com/kse/ )
Or http://portecle.sf.net
The first one is OpenCA. htp://www.openca.org/
I have successfully tried this solution:
http://gnomint.sourceforge.net/
gnoMint is an X.509 Certification Authority management tool.
Currently, it has two different interfaces: one for GTK/Gnome environments, and another one for command-line.
It's free software, under the GNU/GPL license.
If you can stand not using a GUI, then OpenSSL is as good as it gets. There are binary packages for windows platforms.

I have a large number of user names and passwords - a different one for every website, service, ... To keep track of the information I have an iOS app that claims to store the information with RSA-256 encryption; it has the option of synchronizing the "vault" between different devices, so I can used either iPad or iPhone to access the information.
In essence, I "trust" the software provider that their claim that their software is secure is true. This means not only (1) that it's well written (no accidental security flaws), but also (2) that there is no "back door" that allows them to intercept or redirect my files during the synch operation - if they did, they would "have everything".
I wonder if there is a "best" way to address this issue. I can think of a few:
write your own. Guarantees (2), but not (1)
have an open source project, and let "the community" help with (1). Of course a malicious person might use the open source to find and exploit (rather than fix) a weakness
Third party certification of a provider's software. Now you have to trust the third party...
There may be a robust solution to this - but I don't know it. Many "related" questions appear to exist on SO, but I couldn't find one that really answered this.
Any takers?

My C and Objective-C skills are ok but i really could do with a better grasp on building binary's and libraries using configure and make files. Is there a book or consolidated reference I should be aiming to look at. Ive googled but given the generic nature of the search terms and plethora of related information i would be grateful if someone could point me at a recommended source
The autoconf manual is the authoritative source of information on writing configure scripts, and includes sections on portable 'make' and shell programming. As well as being a reference, it also contains a reasonable tutorial.
If you want to build libraries as well, then you want to look at libtool, but unfortunately libtool can be a bit of a beast to work with unless you're also using automake, so this is turning into a rather long reading list.
O'Reilly have a book called 'Autotools'. I don't know it, but given my experience with other O'Reilly books, that's the first I'd take off the shelf and browse through.

Are there any tools available for Informix, similar to 'Query Analyzer' for SQL Server?
We needed a Query Analyzer-like tool for an Informix project some time ago, and settled on RazorSQL, which is Java based, so it's completely platform independent (Windows, MacOS, Linux, etc). About half of the development team at our company uses Macs, so that was a requirement. On top of that, it can connect to any database through JDBC (29 different databases, according to the website).
I've used it extensively on MySQL, SQLServer and Informix, and can confirm it works great on all of them. Before RazorSQL, I was using MySQL tools, and SQLServer Management Studio on a VM, but having a single tool to work with any DB you can throw at it is pretty nice. Also, for accesing Informix from a Mac, it's one of the few options available.
Not knowing anything about 'Query Analyzer' for SQL Server, I could be being misled by its name, but...
The Open Admin Tool has support for analyzing query performance in a number of ways.
Server Studio (SSJE) has some support for query analysis and performance monitoring.
The basic server provides SET EXPLAIN to describe a query plan.
There are numerous performance analysis tools - such as ON-Stat and the pseudo-tables in the SysMaster database.
There are also some ancient tools such as 'ON-Perf' distributed with IDS that may help too.
We use Aqua Data Studio, a nice tool which supports different databases.
Jonathan's answer is excellent so I'll just confirm that
Server Studio is a great albeit overpriced product.
Also to simply (and freely) run Informix Queries you could use Eclipse SQL Explorer

We've recently starting using TFS. Currently just for source control.
We're considering using work items instead of our current bug tracking system. I've heard that the work flow is customizable and would like to have a go at it.
A small example is that sometimes while working a bug, someone may decide that the product documentation needs updating, maybe to explain a workaround or if the bug fix caused a change to a screen layout, new screenshots would be required in the help file. I'd like it to work so that if somebody ticks a 'required docs' check-box on the work-item, after the bug is fixed and tested, the work-item would be automatically assigned to our documentation team.
I've heard TFS does support work-flow, but am struggling to find a suitable guide on how I'd go about customizing it.
Can you point me in the right direction? Or, have I misunderstood what's possible?
Welcome to the patterns & practices Team Development with Visual Studio Team Foundation Server project site! This guide shows you how to make the most of Team Foundation Server. It starts with the end in mind, but shows you how to incrementally adopt TFS for your organization. It's a collaborative effort between patterns & practices, Team System team members, and industry experts.

I think the best part of flash is the possibility to create not squared user interfaces, so I like the idea to create desktop apps using flash. I know AIR is for that but it doesn't allow real access to OperatingSystem apis and dlls and the commercial options are kind of difficult to customize.
You can try ScreenweaverHX:
http://haxe.org/com/libs/swhx
It's the Haxe-based successor of the old Screenweaver. However, it's not as simple as the old version used to be. Most likely you need to take a look to the basics of Haxe and Neko, the 2 technologies it's based on.
There's another project on top of SWHX that it's called HippoHX. It aims to "complete" SWHX providing that extra functionality you might miss (simple ActionScript APIs and a GUI). However, it's in its early stages:
http://hippohx.com
DISCLAIMER: I'm the owner of HippoHX, so my point is obviously biased.
As far as I know SWHX is the only Open Source alternative at this point.
Try flajector. it's powerfull converter from flash to exe. You can to develop your application using AIR. And then you can convert it into desktop application .exe
