Good luck – good for the brain!
Can you find the C?  (Good exercise for the eyes!)

Once you've found the N...
Make a wish!

A double, an identical replica of a person. The idea behind this is that everyone has a Doppleganger, an identical copy of themselves somewhere in the world. If the person is good, then the Doppleganger will be evil and vice versa. It is even said that if the two should meet, then they will both perish.  —unexplained-mysteries.com

 

 

HAHA okay that title is stupid! Sorry about that.

For all Linux/Unix users fuse/sshfs is a convience. It can be used to mount remote server path (via ssh) as a local device/directory. You can then create or edit files locally and let fuse/sshfs to the job of actually copying the data to the remote destination. That’s cool holly-molly-cool right?

For Windows users, don’t despair. I found a product called SftpDrive that can map remote directory as local drive. That’s cool! I wish this is a paid post haha.

Okay guys I have something for all of you tonight. While I was looking for a small LAMP WMware appliance on the web, I was directed to Lorenzo Ferrara’s site and saw the most amazing creation (in my own honest opinion).

If you’re on Windows, click Start -> Run -> and type the following command and press ENTER:

telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

If you’re on Linux, you know what to do! HA!HA! Open that terminal baby!

Enjoy!
