PicLens: Cinematic Views for the Web

If you're on a Mac, check out PicLens - It needs OS X 10.4 and Safari 2, but most Mac users will have this.

Once it's installed (and Safari has been restarted) when looking over images on the supported web sites (like Google Images) you get a PicLens icon appear over an image when you hover the mouse over it.

Clicking on the PicLens icon then gives you a full-screen slideshow of the images on the page you're viewing... Pretty Cool!

Key-Based SSH Logins With PuTTY | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials

Here's a quick writeup on how to set up key-based (passwordless) logins to SSH servers with PuTTY on Windows.

I've seen mention of this ability before, but none of the descriptions on how to do it made sense, or worked for me.

Or not...

Maybe our favourite MP3 store will not be closing their doors quite as soon as expected. They're putting up a fight and have issued a press release to that effect. So, hang in there, we're in for a bumpy ride, but with any luck the corporate lawyers in the USA won't be able to pressure Russia into closing down the site... Stay tuned for more info =)
