Google Apps POP3 server requires SSL in order to work. If your webserver was built with SSL support, you can simply do the following in the wordpress “Post via e-mail” configuration:

1. Enter ssl://pop.gmail.com as the mail server
2. Enter 995 as the port.

Done!

When will Microsoft learn? They are simple light years behind google in search technology. No matter what they do they will never catch up, they are simply to far away.

They are getting ready (for the fifth time, i think) to relaunch their search engine.  After the all failed, msn.com, start.com, live.com this time it will be Kumo.com.  From the screenshot below we can see they have done everything possible to copy google’s layout. (yes, Microsoft is really good at copying, never at innovating).

Kumo, Kumo? Steve, how about buying the search.com domain? It should be a bargain for you.

No need for a crystal ball here, this is Microsoft’s next failure. What do you think?

The VNC client bundled with Ubuntu, Vinagre, works half the time. Fortunately, we can also VNC with the installed “Terminal Server Client”

The “VNC” option with the default installation of Terminal Server Client is disabled or grayed-out.

To enable it you need to install the xtightvncviewer package in Synaptic or with the following command on the terminal

sudo apt-get install xtightvncviewer

Done!

UPDATE: To also enable the XDMCP protocol option, sudo apt-get install xnest

If you are just looking for a quick solution, the online service “MergePDF” will be a good solution

For a more permanent and local solution try PDFSAM.

Once you have enabled the built-in VRDP server in VirtualBOX, the rest is a straight forward RDP connection using the “Terminal Server Client” found under “Applications>Internet>”, except for the following two conditions:

1. The protocol used must be “RDP”, as “DRPv5” will not work.
2. This is where everybody has problems. For the server address (Computer:) you should put the HOST’S IP address and NOT the guest’s ip as common sense would dictate.
