rdesktop
Category: linux
There are todos and then there are reallywantodos.

$ rdesktop -g (Size of the screen) -u (your AD userid) -d (AD Domain) -r disk:desktop=/home/(your linux account)/ -a (colour depth) (PC Name according to Active Directory)



This is a reallywantodos.


How to:
  • Connect to the VPN
  • In the terminal


rdesktop ip address of the remote computer



Couldn't be easier.

Hahaha..
tinypliny - 08/20/11 14:41
Hmm.. I did that already and ran into an error that I am trying to find the meaning of...

"ERROR: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known"

Freaking Out! A bat is here!
Category: estrip
(e:leetee), I have no idea how you dealt with having a bat flit about in your house. We just spotted an absolutely humongous one at the 24 and spent 20 minutes freaking out and trying to capture it (well.. I think (e:Terry) was trying the real capture part and (e:Paul) was trying to capture it virtually using his phone.

I think I nearly died because (e:Paul) was shrieking like a maniac and the bat came within a 2 cm radius near my hair. I am sure the bat thought my head was a fellow bat, what with my insanely out-of-control hair.

We think it has flown out the door now but it could well be hiding behind the sofa or lounging on the chandelier. Needless to say, I think we need to pre-empt our bat-dread-induced-heart-attacks and think carefully about our last minutes and maybe our last words on this planet. Should we be whispering or yelling it out over the 24 rooftop?

We read in Wikipedia that:

bats catch prey by aerial hawking and gleaning tactics



That monster was totally aerially hawking and gleaning NEAR our heads.

(e:matthew)'s bird is the cutest pet ever. S/he makes a bird version of a purring sound when you pet her/him. It's quite extraordinary for a bird.
metalpeter - 08/19/11 16:39
Crazy is all I can say..... Hopefully it is gone and didn't contact any other animals like the bird or anything......

I had one back in April, he was busy looking for an out, finally caught him with a butterfly net and set him loose outside, after running without any dignity at all to the stairs to get to the door.
leetee - 08/19/11 06:03
It's is freaky, isn't it? It scared me too, (e:Tinypliny)... and i like bats!!

Bash History!

Can be accessed through the command:

It's kind of nifty how my earliest history is a nice documentation of everything I did post-clean-install of Crunchbang (and would like to do for future installs).

The numbers before each line let you easily replay a command. Just type a ! Followed by the number for the history line and it will rerun the command.
