12/20   Need a pointer here.  I am behind a company firewall.  I would like to
        be able to run MSN Messenger and Real Audio from it.  The firewall
        has a SOCK5 proxy server.  Is it possible for me to set up zebedee
        in some way so I can get get Real Audio and MSN to work?  if yes,
        pointers please?
        \_ Since no one who knows what they're talking about replied, I'll
           give you the generic answer: try port forwarding via ssh to your
           home over the proxy server.  Is this even possible?  Beats me.
           Let us know how it goes.
           \_ thanks  I will try it.
        \_ I've traversed a socks proxy at corporate sites with ssh, using
           if I remember correctly, LD_PRELOAD of libsocks or something
           like that.  it inserts socks negotiation into normal dynamically
           linked socket code, e.g. I then used standard RedHat build of
           ssh client.  I don't know what zebedee is, but libsocks might
           fix it directly, or you might need to do the above ssh port
           forwarding combination.
        \_ why don't you point RA and MSN at the socks5 proxy straight?
           \_ GAIM's MSN module's socks5 proxy never worked.  and I don't
              know how to set up real audio's rstp proxy... in terms of
              how does it relate to socks5 proxy.  pointers?

5/18    On my Win7 machine, I've been using a PuTTY ssh session to soda as a
        proxy for my FireFox to bypass my company's OpenDNS when I visit
        http://tv.yahoo.com and so on.  It has been working fine for a long while.
        However, in the past couple weeks or so, my FireFox would either take
        several minutes to load the page, or failes to load it after several
        minutes.  I haven't changed any settings on my Win7 machine.  Rebooting

3/29    A friend wants a PC (no mac). She doesn't want Dell. Is there a
        good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
        card--no game)?
        \_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when
           having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,
           most machines were custom built.

8/19    Is there such a thing as a IMAP->POP proxy? I want to use Gmail on
        a server that only supports IMAP, and Gmail only connects to POP.

11/4    Holy cow, I got a warning from my ISP that they were notified
        by BSA/baytsp.com that I was copying music/video/software.
        Do they do port scan or something? That's a first for me.
        \_ They hang out on P2P networks and track IP addresses.  -tom
           \_ I believe they are paid by content providers to perform this
              monitoring service, so you should only run this risk with content

10/1    I am thinking of installing firefox on soda under my home directory.
        Will this make me a hozer?
        \_ Possibly. I wonder if we should have another VM for that...btw,
           I remember someone saying they're glad we're not on FreeBSD
           anymore, but last I checked, a bunch of our stuff is on FreeBSD,
           but our login server is not.
