Coding
While not the most hard-core computer hobbyist, I do enjoy programming for practical applications and fine-tuning my systems to make it easy to get things done efficiently. This is a growing list of some of my projects:
- SSHTunnel. A very simple shell script that can be used to implement port forwarding with ssh. This is useful, for instance, when forwarding VNC connections over a series of secure links, but is also applicable to any application that requires ports to be forwarded securely. I was inspired to write this by the hassle required to forward my VNC ports over all the connection hops required to securely get through my corporate firewall to my office machine. Now, a single alias does it all for me! Could working at home get any easier? (Original blog entry)
