My Presentation

I will be posting my presentation soon.

Stay tuned!!!

Shell Script

Today I had to create a report from an online database.
Below is the script used. It took about 5 to 6 hours to process the 48766 records on the database using the SSH - Secure SHell.

The SSH Secure Shell for Workstations Windows client (SSH2 client) is a program that allows secure network services over an insecure network.

The SSH Secure Shell for Workstations Windows client replaces other, insecure terminal applications, such as Telnet and FTP. It allows you to securely remote login to remote host computers, to execute commands safely in a remote computer, and to provide secure encrypted and authenticated communications between two untrusted hosts. X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel.

It is a powerful guardian against the numerous security hazards that nowadays threaten network communications.

Here the script

Restore Your Computer's Performance with Windows XP

I've been downloading heaps of different software/applications for uni and personal use... My computer has been performing very slow.

I've had to fix the performance of it. The following link is a basic guide to "Restore Your Computer's Performance with Windows XP"

8. Spyware Doctor

Opitional Software

If you have already got some of the software, which most user will It will only update the software if a newer version is avaiable:)
You can also just choose the software you want...

Boolean & Google is my favorite

My favorite search engine is google. Why well basically it is recognized as the best general web search engine and from reading/surfing the net it's said to be the biggest sarch engine. Here's a UC Berkeley university link: -

I recommend reading this link its quite good:)

Internet Relay Chat (IRC)

The main dfference I can see is IRC is group based not individual based?

Messenger

Been using Windows Messenger all week communicating with my former IT manager who is now based in China.

This has been great as I have needed information, advise and assistance from him in using certain application for work.

The following are some of the advantages this application has been for me: -

- Cost effective
- Able to view when he has been online
- Cut n paste SQL queries and similar commands (CentOs/Linux)for him to view and make adjustments if needed?
- Able to invite other related people to the conversations if needed
