TeamViewer
Hasta el momento no había aparecido ningún software que fuera propietario y que ademas fuera para la plataforma guindos, pero este paquetito se gano ese honor al haberme evitado salir corriendo a las 12 de la noche para mi oficina y estarme ahí colgado hasta las 5:30 del pasado domingo, creo que con eso mas que suficiente para estar aquí presente.
Una de las amabilidades que tiene teamviewer es que puede viajar por varios protocolos (HTTP/TCP) sin ser bloqueado por los firewalls, lo cual es de gran ventaja cuando se trabaja en ambientes corporativos en donde la seguridad es esencial, ademas de eso cuenta transferencia de archivos, update remoto (cuando queremos actualizar al cliente que esta del otro lado), cuenta con una versión freeware (la que use), para plataformas win/mac aunque que sin problema alguno corre desde Linux con wine, el mismo agente puede ser instalador o correrse como aplicación para llevar en memoria USB.
algo que no comprendi, talvez porque lo use sobre Linux para conectarme a un Win, fue la opcion VPN que me genera una ip totalmente diferente del sistema original, hasta casi podría decir que es una dirección únicamente para ellos 2 y no se puede tener acceso a el segmento de red al que pertenece el cliente, raro pero… me imagino que en algún momento podría servir de algo.. :S

Activar Control+Alt+BackSpace
Creo que desde Jaunty (corriganme si me equivoco), se quito la opcion de ctrl+alt+backspace para reiniciar las X de una forma rapida, no se porque, pero a mi en lo particular me gusta bastante ya que es un reiniciado de sesión ultra rapido, la activación de esta combinación de teclas es sumamente rapida y sencilla, solo debemos abrir una consola y digitar el siguiente comando para instalar dontzap:
sudo aptitude install dontzap
Luego digitamos:
sudo dontzap -d
y con esto ya tendremos nuevamente la combinación, si desearas desactivarla nuevamente solo debes cambiar el parametro d por -e
Pues eso es todo. Saludos.
Comprimir / Descomprimir juegos para PSP en Ubuntu
Pues hace un rato me compre un PSP 3000, y unas de las cosas comunes es comprimir las imagenes ISO en CSO, que es una compresión de la misma hasta un 40% mas o menos, depende esto del juego, pero es una ayuda para que puedas andar mas juegos en la memoria, hay un programa muy bueno para windows, pero como aqui hablamos de Linux, pues haremos un pequeño tuto para instalarlo.
El prorama en cuestión es pspshrink, que nos sirve para comprimir y tambien descomprimir dichas imagenes, es un poco simple, pero util y practico como casi todo en Linux XD.
Lo primero es descargarnos los fuentes ya que no encontre un paquete deb, lo haces desde el sitio de descargas, luego de descargarlo, lo descomprimes en algun lugar, para el caso lo haremos en el home, entonces abrimos una terminal y digitamos:
cd pspshrink-1.1.1
depende claro de la versión que te hayas descargado, ahora hay unas dependencias que tienes que instalar antes de poderlo compilar, primero si no los tienes los paquetes basicos de compilacion, entonces digiata en la consola:
sudo aptitude install build-essentia
Ahora las siguientes:
sudo aptitude install zlib1g-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev
Pues con eso bastara para poder compilarlo, digita entonces las siguientes lineas en la consola:
./configure sudo make sudo make install
Pues eso es todo, ya lo tienes instalado, para acceder al programa solo digita en la consola:
pspshrinkui
Pues solo eso, espero sirva. Saludos
WP.me — shorten your links
Check out this address:
If you visit it, you’ll end up right back here. The nice thing about it is that it’s a short link, about 70% smaller than the permalink for this post. URL shorteners are nothing new, Tiny URL has been around for 100 years, but WP.me is different in a few ways.
- WP.me is the only two-letter .me domain in the world.
- Every blog and post on WordPress.com has a WP.me URL now.
- These are all exposed in the <head> using rel=shortlink.
- It doesn’t work for any URL in the world, just WP.com-hosted ones.
- The links are permanent, they will work as long as WordPress.com is around.
- WP.me is spam-free, because we are constantly monitoring and removing spam from WP.com.
I think a few of these points are worth following up on. While URL shorteners have had some incredible usage tied to the growth (and constraints) of Twitter, I question their sustainability as a business. This point was underscored a few days ago when a popular one, tr.im, announced they were going to shut down at the end of the year.
Their story had a happy ending in that someone came in and saved them, but it was hard not to think of what would have happened if all their links stopped redirecting one day: part of the web would go dark. I also worry that because shorteners are essentially open proxies of HTTP they’ll be exploited by spammers and malware distributors to the point where businesses, anti-phishing, and anti-virus services will be forced to block them.
WordPress links have the structure they do, which is longer, because they’re meant to be permanent and portable. (And of course friendly to search engines.) Even if you weren’t using WordPress, the links contain no arbitrary IDs or other platform-specific implementation cruft so they should be trivial to serve from any system, even if you don’t use WordPress in the future. But if all the links to you use a shorter version, that sort of defeats the point!
But as Dave Winer articulated, there’s no reason we shouldn’t have a shortener ourselves, and here we are. 
People are already using it.
How can you use it?
There is now a “Get Shortlink” button next to your permalink when you edit or write a post, and when you click it you’ll get a popup with the beautiful link already highlighted for your copy and pasting pleasure.
If you’re logged in you can also get the shortlink for any page on WordPress.com, there’s a link under the “Blog Info” menu in your admin bar.
Our thanks also go out to our friends at GoDaddy and in Montenegro for help with the domain.
SoundCloud
We are big fans of SoundCloud, a really useful service that is part Flickr for music, part professional music collaboration hub. Artists such as Beck, Moby and Sonic Youth now use the service to distribute tracks through their blogs and connect with their fans.
We’ve received many requests from WordPress.com bloggers that they would like us to work with SoundCloud to enable this service, and today we have some good news for you! You can now easily embed the SoundCloud player on your WordPress.com blog.
To embed SoundCloud groups or member track playlists or a single track in your blog, explore the SoundCloud website or use the search feature to find a sound that you like.
Once you’ve located a song that you want to embed, copy the URL of that song from your browser’s address bar to your clipboard or click on the “Share” icon and locate the “WordPress” button:
Your shortcode should now look similar to this this:
[soundcloud url="http://soundcloud.com/meat-katie/meat-katie-vs-friends-of-mine-are-you-looking"]
You can then paste this code into your post, and it will display the player::
You can also customize the player size, embed sets and groups, and decide if you want comments within the player turned on or off. For details check out the documentation in our support area.
For those of you on a self-hosted WordPress blog, be sure to grab the SoundCloud Shortcode plugin.
