Underwater iphone fun? All you need is one of these


the H2O AMPHIBX

Before you know it all the kool surfer gyrls will be flocking to hang ten with you as you groove waiting for the next set.

Great article on integrating GNU Screen copy with local clipboard


I'm a big fan of screen. Makes my life a better place.
Well maybe it's not as good as that but it's certainly useful.

This clever fellow wrote a java app, that, when combined with some ssh port-forwarding and a little script to handle the data transfer and a few lines in your screenrc.

Anyhow it sure works well and makes copy/paste work well!

Thanks Perry!

The evil beauty of javascript

Aah - I'm sure the javascript inventers never thought that it would be used to cause so much harm. In case you are bored or are trying to reverse engineer an infection - you might want to check out:

- This SANS article
- or if you're in a hurry stop eval'ing

Opendns.com - good enough for Australia Zoo!


Want cheap content filtering! Well you can use opendns.com - and customise what you let get resolved by pointing your dns queries their way.

Apparently it has even saved AustraliaZoo a stack of cash
(must be a lot of horny animals in there trying to get to slipperybanannas.com perhaps).

And it's free. Great idea. Sure they can traffic analyze what my mom is going to (I've got her on it) but I'm sure they mean well

KeePassX - very swish password management

For eons I've been using PasswordSafe - its worked for me on all platforms.

I'm not sure exactly why - I just wasn't completely happy - so I checked out the competition again. KeePass is something I've always meant to check out - finally did.

Here is a nice little perl script to convert your old PasswordSafe files to KeePassX xml format - here

Merging can be a bit of fun - you might have a few different machines that get out of sync for eg. This XSLTProc technique / script isn't perfecto but it's pretty good for 95% - here is another.

Of course, you could also use diff - that often works.

And even better for you iphone fanpeoples - iKeepass is due out of alpha sometime when this guy has finished having a life!

Need a CHM Viewer for Mac OSX ?

I needed this recently for some old docs - it's an old app but it works quite well - Chmox

I desire a Pizza oven


I guess it could always be used for baking bread as well.

This could be a good project for when I am laid off - here are some recipes for doing so:

- The Anasazi Oven
- Rados Traditional Wood oven
- GotWood?

There are a stack of books on this as well as peoples plans out on the net! Some are very impressive!

Or you could just get a Pizza Stone
