Typing test, anyone?

December 7, 2008 by Amr

So I'm wandering around, while having Suhoor and I come across a post by Jeff Astwood where he argues that Coding is just typing. But that's just a strong headline which doesn't tell the actual message. He claims that typing is one of the core programming skills. That doesn't seem correct either. That said, I doubt I'd see a good programmer who doesn't type fast.

RSOD: A KISS Reverse SSH web-based tool

November 19, 2008 by Amr

From time to time we need to connect to servers on our customer's network. Ideally, we would just SSH and do our thing; However, few customers are behind NAT meaning we cannot connect to them in a simple manner. The job isn't worth going over the hassle of finding how to bridge the 2 networks together.

Fortunately, SSH provides a solution: Reverse SSH Tunnel. However, it's not very easy for less technical people to do thus, becoming impractical in our case. I thought what we needed was a way to make it trivial to open and close Reverse SSH Tunnels. I googled but I didn't find something that's web-based and is actually usable.

I thought this was a good excuse to hack away and I couldn't resist.

Upgrading to a Drupal minor version

October 25, 2008 by Amr

If you use Drupal like me, then upgrading to the next minor release must be something you do every couple of months. I never asked anybody how they do it. So here I will write how I do it, in the same time I will be actually upgrading my blog to Drupal 6.6.
