I recently had a requirement from a client to “proxy” all requests to a particular IP. Reason being, they wanted to force the DNS updates onto their end-users who had their DNS servers lagged. Also, the point is to redirect users who had the IP address “bookmarked”. IAC, being... 

I’ve been having a hard time getting sshd to accept logins on a Windows 7 x64 box. The problems ranged from the error mentioned in the subject line (“/bin/bash: permission denied” appearing during logins) to silent failures during password authentication, during which the ssh connection... 

Just when I thought Palm was about to regain the stock back in the smart phone industry with the release of it’s Pre, I was corrected by a post from Joey Hess on how Palm has been sneaking behind my back and collecting my personal data, including names of installed apps, application usage (and... 

Enjoy these hash codes from Sprint. I have the list compiled for the Palm Pre, but most of these codes should work on other Sprint phones, as well: ##STICKYDIALER# (784259342537) This enables/disables the Sticky Dialer feature. The sticky dialer feature, when enabled, allows the phone app to run in the... 

After my recent laptop upgrade, I bacame a [forced?] owner of Windows Vista 64-bit OS. Well, of course I didn’t waste any time and multi-booted the puppy with Ubuntu and OSX (yes, that’s Mac OSX). Long story short and while trying to install the Cisco VPN onto my windows slice, I discovered... 

For the sake of keeping it as brief as possible, while saving you Eclipse IDE users hours of aggravation around the infamous “Access Restriction” issue, this is what usually does the trick for me. YMMV, of course: 1. Right-Click on your project and go to “Properties”. 2. Go to... 

The word on the street is that Google just opened up downloads to their brand-spanking-new web browser, codenamed Chrome. Head on over to their site and give it a shot. It looks clean and [like many other Google products] “friendly”. I hope the developer’s support is comprable to that... 

The best of both worlds! I can’t take credit for coining the equation above, but I did always wonder if there was a way to combine powers of two of the greatest “web apps” out there, WordPress and Facebook. If you spend enough time on Mr. Gore’s greatest invention that we call... 

First, the background. My lovely wife got me an iPhone for my birthday. Yes, I love her! Well, I was supposed to get it on my birthday — the XXXX of XXXX, if you were curious — but my “inquisitiveness” got the better of us and I ended up finding out about my present in the umm…... 

I’ve been using the Cisco 7960 and 7940 phones for several years now, and have learned a few tips and tricks over the years. Among those is a simple *, 6 and settings key sequence that reboots a 7960 / 7940 device, which acts much like power cycling the phone. I have a friend who, to this day,...
