Jumping Through Hoops. Or Is It Tunnels?

Posted by: vinny In: software

So, I just found out I can’t run X apps if I ssh in as a user and then change users (guess I never tried). Which means I can’t install apps remotely. Unless I delve into xauth…
myuser@mybox:~$ xauth list

Encryption With A Deck Of Cards

Posted by: vinny In: books

Just finished reading Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. All in all, a great read. Quite a bit different from the Big U, The Diamond Age and Snow Crash. All of which I also liked.

Just A Little Morning Sunshine

Man, are these things clever, well designed, and fun. I hit this place up about once a month to see if there’s a new one up to play:
Orisinal
It’s even safe for work. Provided no one minds you playing flash games at the office, of course.
