Other than your own home, usually a lot of websites are getting blocked by network administrator at your work or school, preventing you from accessing some of more popular sites such as facebook or gmail.

On the other hand, the world wide web is so huge that it is simply just impossible for network admin to block everything. There comes the web proxies which you can use to access some of this blocked site.

I am going to list os of the web proxy sites you can use to access some blocked sites such as

1. Vtunnel

Vtunnel is here to help you get to the websites you want to go to online. Many organizations these days block access to sites like myspace, gmail, even google search! I find that claiming that filters are there to keep schoolkids learning rather than goofing off, and then going ahead and blocking a primary means of research such as google search, is hypocritical and even dangerous. Thanks to sites like this one however, you can fight back and access the web the way it was meant to be accessed.

2. HideMyass Facebook Proxy

HideMyass FaceBook free proxy enables you to surf FaceBook.com anonymously and hide your IP address. FaceBook works well using our proxy and you can login to your account securely (optional SSL encryption is even more secure) with ease.

There is a problem during installation of Webmin on Ubuntu Server 10.04.  The problem is that webmin is using deprecated Perl module.  So here is the solutions:

1. sudo aptitude -y install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl apt-show-versions libapt-pkg-perl
2. wget http://ftp.debian.org/pool/main/libm/libmd5-perl/libmd5-perl_2.03-1_all.deb
3. sudo dpkg -i libmd5-perl_2.03-1_all.deb
4. wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/webadmin/webmin/1.510/webmin_1.510-2_all.deb?use_mirror=cdnetworks-us-1
5. sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.510-2_all.deb

and then you should be able to login to your webmin at https://ip_address:10000/ using your login

Note: Webmin installation doesnt require you to have apache2, mysql or php5

This installation assuming you have a fresh machine without any LAMP stack

1. sudo aptitude install apache2

2. sudo aptitude install php5

3. sudo aptitude install mysql-server

4. sudo aptitude install php5-mysql

5. sudo aptitude install torrentflux

Then just go to http://ip_address/torrentflux and login using your username and password

To be able to download TorrentFlux on your Firefox, install this add-on

6. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7876/

I tried it with latest Firefox 3.6 and it works fine.  Just making sure, you update the “options” on the add-on windows in firefox with your server URL which is http://ip_address/torrentflux and with your username and password

Development tools

1. Silverlight 4.0

2. Microsoft Visual Studio Lite 2010

I am running VMWare Fusion 3.0 at home using my MacBook Pro, and VMWare Server 2.0 on my PC workstation at work.   For some odd reason everytime I moved it even though it is a fresh installationI wanted to move a virtual machine created on VMWare Fusion to VMWare Server.

Some gotchas that I’ve come across:

1.64-bit and VT mode

64-bit virtual machines are only supported on CPUs that have VT mode.

2.  Fusion-only feature not handled gracefully by Server

If your .vmx file has the following line, remove it.

serial0.fileType = “thinprint”

VMWare Server does not support this feature, and crashes when you try to import the virtual machine.

3. Networking

After importing the virtual machine, when you power it on for the first time, VMWare will ask you whether you moved it or copied it.

Tell VMWare that you moved it. Otherwise, you will have to manually update the ethernet adapter settings to get networking back up.
