Yeah! A brand new year 2008 2009.

Lots of cleaning up and clearing of stuff on my harddrive, since it’s new year right?

Some interesting things i came across over the cleaning up of my harddrive.

From watching Hak5 ep 416, clearing up my 40 gig of podcast!
1. Ping.fm, allows blogging or “pinging” to multiple site. Seems pretty useful, especially you will have a simplified entry page.
2. SSH tunnelling, finally a video with instructions on doing ssh tunneling.

Some fun commands I used in cleaning up my dns323, and portable hdd
1. Sorting directories based on directory size
du -d 1 -s * | sort -n

Some wishes of the coming year.
Good health to all, from family to friends to the financial system
