Nice! As I am maniac of uptime here is nice utility found at http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/tracking-server-uptimes
uptimed. It is similar to the utility that most of us have heard of, uptime, except that it runs as a daemon and logs the system’s uptime instead of just reading info that is lost on a reboot. Uptimed provides a secondary command called uprecords
Here is what we want to do
We have the following case:
Developer workstation windows with putty
Spider.bg – a host which has access to the www.psspy.se server
www.psspy.se – firewalled host – we want to put files here via sftp
What we want to do is to use spider.bg host as a proxy and connect to the psspy.se machine.

Here are the screenshots with the steps ….
Faithful to the rule that I must blog everything that took me more than 15min searching in google I am here again.
This time the post is related to my notebook which mousepad doesnt support double tap (poor lenovo :) )
Emulate3buttons – this is the magic key. Wonder how to use it? Just click left+right at the same time.
Also be aware: in the new distros this setting is not changed from xorg.conf check this article

The rest is a copy/paste from the post above
The problem is that you can’t just override this in xorg.conf anymore. You need to use xinput. xinput’s powerful, clever, flexible… and totally over the heads of a lot of users. Here’s a script to run from .xinitrc or the equivalent which disables Emulate3Buttons on any input devices which have it. (It’s now called “Middle Button Emulation”, mind.)
#!/bin/sh
xinput list | sed -ne 's/^[^ ][^V].*id=\([0-9]*\).*/\1/p' | while read id
do
case `xinput list-props $id` in
*"Middle Button Emulation"*)
xinput set-int-prop $id "Middle Button Emulation" 8 0
;;
esac
done
How this works: We first obtain a list of ID numbers, disregarding those where the second character on the line was V, because xinput list-props doesn’t work on the "Virtual[...] lines for the generic keyboard and mouse. For each such device, we check to see whether it has the feature; if so, we disable it. (The number 8 indicates that we’re setting an 8-bit value; it doesn’t really matter. The disabled state is 0.)

I aways forget the params for mod_rewrite so here is the summary
You have to install the latest alsa.
Then replace the existing kernel modules with the just build one. Then run depmod -a as point kilbasar here

What about http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
Argh. 30+ zone files and I have to increment all numbers by hand…no way.
Usage: ./inc.rb in the current directory with all db files.
