back on track

Friday, February 27th, 2009

Howdy, so i wasn’t posting for some time and decided that it would be a good idea to post something new, since i got something to post! lol.

Last friday or thursday my old monitor LG Flatron L1930P finally died and i couldn’t turn it on anymore :( But i ordered a new one on monday morning, got it on tuesday morning, which is excellent.

So i bought Samsumg SM2343NW from ebuyer for 141pounds including delivery, its an excellent monitor the specs are:

  • Screen Size : 23″ Widescreen
  • Resolution : 2048 x 1152

I am pretty sure the price is really nice for what i got and i am very happy with the purchase so far.

I will add more pictures of how my setup looks this weekend most likely.

#2 my own note

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

One day i decided it would interesting to connect to my PC from the college via ssh, of course the sysadmin is not friendly and decided it was a bad idea to leave default ssh port open.  Since that wasn’t too important i left it alone and went on with my day..So today  some guy at slackwares channel asked how to resolve that problem and spook helped him out and me. So thanks spook for the iptables command (not like he’s going to read my blog ever, but just in case ya know)

the iptables command:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp –dport 80 -j REDIRECT –to-ports 22

So as far as i can understand it (lol) Anything that tries to connect through port 80 will get silently redirected to port 22. Going to try it out next time i am at college and then report back ;-]
