Hamachi Zero Config VPN

December 18, 2005

:sun I came across this while browsing the del.icio.us popular list, and it seems to be exactly what I’ve been looking for. After a simple install you can easily configure multiple private networks and then allow users to connect to each other.

With most friends and family on broadband now, I wanted an easy method of being able to privately share files (photos etc) with them. Hamachi seems just the ticket.

The only critisim I have is that all your ’shared’ folders become visible. I’d want to be able to configure it so that only certain folders are available…. hopefully the functionality is there and I just haven’t found how to do it.

  • With Hamachi you can organize two or more computers with an Internet connection into their own virtual network for direct secure communication. Hamachi is fast, secure and simple. It is also free.

Tookie Interview

:unhappy Interview with Tookie taken just a few days before his execution. For what it’s worth, I think the Terminator made the wrong decision.

:unsure Interesting (h0ax?) articles

  • Online file storage sites became a hit for a little while and then quickly disappeared. With new movements and technology available, however, an online “file system” of sorts has a lot of potential. This is what Openomy evolved into.

I haven’t really tried this out yet, but have been looking for something similar for a long time.

del.icio.us RIP

December 10, 2005

:angry This is probably the worst news I’ve heard in ages. I’m a long time user of del.icio.us and love it’s simple interface, open standards, ad free, and extensability.

Joshua, please provide some more information on how del.icio.us will mutate under the yahoo banner.

1. Will the del.icio.us url still work?
2. How about functionality like automatically posting to your blog?
3. RSS feeds for all pages (ad free)?
4. Firefox extension to post?
5. mysqlicious?
6. being able to search links by simply using a url (http://del.icio.us/tag/my_search_term)?
7. I’m also interested in how yahoo will address the creative commons licensing that users can optionally setup on their del.icio.us accounts

Argh… the more I think about it, the more painful it gets. Joshua PLEASE reconsider and come with a deal to license the data to yahoo instead. I know I’m clutching at straws, but del.icio.us put the 2 in Web 2.0.

Alternatively, some smart person out there please quickly come up with “del.icio.us reloaded” site where we can import our links into.

Right I’m off to contemplate why life is a meaningless nightmare of suffering

[btw sorry for the double post on the del.icio.us blog]
