Trying to Clean Up / Delete PGP Keys.

Here’s the story, moons ago when I started in security somebody told me all about Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) in my enthusiasm I got straight on to downloading a copy; now this was a long time ago and I can’t remember if it was freeware or a trial from pgp.com, but either way I got straight onto generating a public/private key pair.

Talking to me, GoogleTalk & MSN

I’ve tried this before and binned it due to the mess MSN creates on your googletalk contact list, but here I am again re-connecting my MSN Buddies to GoogleTalk…

Connect Google Talk to AIM, MSN, & Yahoo - BigBlueBall Forums
Now that Google has opened up their Google Talk servers for federation with other Jabber servers, you can use Google Talk to connect to your friends on AIM, MSN, Yahoo or ICQ.

I’m switching from Beagle to Tracker, hopefully Tracker’s Index will be more relevant to the files ‘n’ things I search for!

I’m not sure I like green!

I’m proper into the 24hr wallpapers I have around me at the moment, fedora’s infinity 24 changes whilst I’m at work and the PS3 XMB changes whilst I play.

The thing is my ps3 wallpaper has changed from yellow to green, now this wouldn’t normally be an issue as most gameplay happens in the evening and the screen changes to black by then, but looking at the wikipedia page for the XMB I’m in for some pinks & greens in the next couple of months…. not to my taste at all, it’s a shame that Sony don’t let you choose which colours the XMB scrolls through… ho-hum it was nice whilst it lasted, I wonder if I can find any cool animated wallpapers for my PS3? :?

Twittering with Tools

LINICKX.com is evolving, I’m not sure how yet but I’ve started by introducing twitter tools, google has changed the face of websites, according to google analytics my home page is not longer the top landing page, i.e. most people visiting my site hit the content they want directly and don’t need to navigate through the site… with this in mind I’m thinking about turning linickx.com into a tumblr type thing… twitter tools allows me to post short “thoughts” and “comments” without having to go through the full WordPress write post thing.

Bash looping through directories & sub-directoires

Note to self…. If I want to “do” something to all files in all sub-directories then I need…..


#!/bin/bash
export IFS=$'\n'
for i in $(find $1 -type f)
do
echo "$i"
done

Firefox Add-on: Remember The Milk for Gmail

I’ve been playing with Remember the milk for some time now, I thought with my n800 it would be really useful…BUT… Actually I’ve found that the firefox extension they have released has really upped my usage, as soon as I can get my tasks synced with my n800 I’ll definitively be upgrading to their pro version.

I’ve recommended this plugin to a few friends and they love it, so if you’re looking for a new personal task managment solution then this is for you!
