atom vs rss feeds

For some reason google reader is not working correctly with the atom feed of this blog. Even when I updated some articles on the blog, the reader is not showing the new articles. So now I created a RSS feed for this blog. Both feeds are available in the Links section of the sidebar. Use the one that works for you. Please let me know if you are still having problems reading this blog ...

running ssh from web browsers

It is possible to access your Debian Linux machine from a Windows machine using just a web browser + ssh. In order to do this, start the sshd daemon on the Debian Linux machine by using either

$sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd.

or by doing
$wajig restart ssh
Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd.

This will restart the ssh server if it is not running already. Next on the windows machine go to http://www.ece.osu.edu/ssh to run the ssh client. That's it!

Tested on Debian Etch (testing) running ssh 4.3p2-2, windows xp running firefox 1.5.0.8
