FF 2.0 and other things.

24 Oct

I downloaded and installed FF 2.0. I know they don't like people getting it early, but i just found out today. Sorry guys. However it's a great release. I really like the spell check. It works very well. Just like i would have wanted it to. Most of my add-ons still work, and it's still very responsive.

In other news i have been having problems with my eyes. I think it's this CRT that i am using at work. I need to get a LCD back. I had this problem before, and moving from a CRT to a LCD the problem went away. Here at my new place of employment they bought one when a designer was working here and wanted a Mac. But he is not here any longer and the display just sat on an empty desk. So i thought i would put it to use an use it myself. But then i took a few days off it found it's way back to an empty desk. So it doesn't get used. It's really frustrating. I have been reading up on the internet about eye strain, and exercises for the eyes. I have started to do a few, but i think i just need to get an LCD and see if my problem goes away again. I have on of my own, but i really don't think i should bring in my own equipment to do my job. Or should i? I can argue it both ways. Oh well.

Gnome SSH Tunnel Manager

20 Jul
Just wanted to make a quick post about this cool app that i have found called Gnome SSH Tunnel Manager or GSTM. It allows you to create ssh tunnels to other machines. I use it when i want to get into my development server from the office. It works really well. GSTM

In other news.

I now need to update my blog software. I really should get this done. I also need to update my photo album.

I really enjoy being married. My wife is the best.

fuse sshfs

30 May
Well working with fuse i needed to get nautilus my gnome file browser to let me edit the files. Well after doing a little search on google, i decided i would just look at the --help output from the file itself. Low and behold there was my answer. So for future record this is how you do it. Get the uid and gid of the user you are going to mount from. So in the terminal do id -u id -g this will give you your local uid and gid. So if my local uid and gid were 512 i would do the following.
sshfs -o uid=512,gid=512 me@myremoteserver:/remote/mount/path /local/mount/path
That should do it.
Posted on an Ubuntu Blog
ubuntu.wordpress
Update:
If you run the following command it will get the uid and gid for you.
sshfs -o uid=`id -u`,gid=`id -g` me@myremoteserver:/remote/mount/path /local/mount/path

For scripts this will work the best i think.
