Mobile phone management under Linux

Posted on by Posted in linux.com, news .

Even people who don’t live and die by their mobile phones sometimes need to send SMS messages. Did you know you can do that from your computer? Likewise, it’s easier to clean your mobile phone of all the numbers you’ve not been dialing in the last few years using a mouse, rather than navigating repeatedly through the phone’s menu system. Here are some Linux tools that can help you manage your cell phone.

Installing MyDNS And The MyDNSConfig Control Panel On CentOS 5.1

Installing MyDNS And The MyDNSConfig Control Panel On CentOS 5.1

In this tutorial I will describe how to install and configure MyDNS
and MyDNSConfig on CentOS 5.1. MyDNS is a DNS server that uses a MySQL
database as backend instead of configuration files like, for example,
Bind or djbdns. The advantage is that MyDNS simply reads the records
from the database, and it does not have to be restarted/reloaded when
DNS records change or zones are created/edited/deleted. A secondary
nameserver can be easily set up by installing a second instance of
MyDNS that accesses the same database or, to be more redundant, uses
the MySQL master / slave replication features to replicate the data to
the secondary nameserver.

Howto: Upload Your External IP While Behind a Router

Posted on by Posted in linux and open source blog, linux/unix/os distros, news .

A very interesting howto written by Dr.Small, which might come handy to a lot of people, or perhaps some time in future.

I run into all kinds of predicaments when operating from behind a router, and one of them is, to be able to record my External (or WAN) IP, while behind it.

I am going to explain to you, how I succeeded in doing it, so you may do the same, if you are in the same ditch, and are like me, and run a ssh server or so. When you leave the computer, and you haven’t checked your WAN IP for days, (if you have a dynamic IP), it tends to change.

So first off, here is a list of things you will need for this project:

  1. Expect. A simple little application. I’ll explain how to get it, in a second.
  2. A external or secondary website, which you have FTP access to.

So, let’s start off and get the necessary things we need, while we are at it.

BBC’s iPlayer – Now With Mac and Linux Support

Posted on by Posted in linux and open source blog, linux/unix/os distros, news .

A streaming version of the British Broadcasting Corporation’s iPlayer online TV on-demand service has been launched for the Windows, Mac and Linux platforms.

BBC iPlayer (formerly known as iMP, Integrated Media Player, Interactive Media Player, and MyBBCPlayer) is a website and computer program being developed by the BBC to extend its existing RealPlayer-based “Radio Player” and other streamed video clip content.

But …. it is not available to all internet users. Most of the content in UK only, well at least for now.
