SSH across a Layer 7 Filter

Every once in a while, I find myself in a situation behind some sort of device that filters a lot of traffic.  Most often, it's on my laptop at some facility (e.g., coffee shop) that only allows HTTP/HTTPS out.  For a while, I just listened for SSH traffic on port 443 (HTTPS) to connect through port-based firewalls.

Turpial : A twitter client


It is written in Python and aims to be an application with low consumption of resources. Turpial is twitter client for Linux and lightweight desktop environment like XFCE, Fluxbox, Openbox , etc (thinking of the netbooks).

When you start up Turpial for the first time, you'll see a spot for your username and password, as well as the option to choose either Twitter or Identi.ca

If you're looking for a fast, easy to set-up and use client that works for not only Twitter but Identi.ca as well, then Turpial is worth your time.

Xfce Foundation


The Xfce team has launched the Xfce Foundation e.V. as a non-profit steering organisation for the project in Germany:
We will soon announce more details about the decisions that were made and about how you can become an Xfce Foundation member (it’s really not difficult and it won’t cost you any money — but there are obligations connected to it of course). After the registration we will create a bank account and a new paypal account as well in order to collect donations. These donations will be tax deductible!
