I’ve joined the Twitter world. My Twitter Profile.
I’ve created a small 16 x 16 mini Twitter icon. Feel free to steal it! I resized the icon from deanjrobinson.
Let me know if anyone knows of a Windows Mobile application for Twitter that includes a today screen plugin, that makes it easy to post to twitter.

Just testing out the Blog function from Joost. I’m writing this directly in the Joost software. Pretty neat idea if you’re into that sort of thing. It integrates directly into Wordpress.
When you generate a key pair in SecureCRT, it generates it in this format:
—- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY —-

—- END SSH2 PUBLIC KEY —-
This key if fine, but if you run a linux server such as CentOS, RedHat, Fedora, or many others which use OpenSSH for it’s sshd; then this key does not work in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. In order to convert this key to the one liner necessary for openssh, first upload it to the server. Either cutting and pasting into your text editor of choice, or uploading the file directly will work.
Then run the following command to add this key file to your authorized keys:
ssh-keygen -i -f /tmp/identity2.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
You can then log in using your private key.
Here is the switch we are using:
-i Convert IETF SECSH to OpenSSH key file.
In the course of my work for Bluetreehost I connect to dozens of machines a day. Whenever I need to transfer a file, I would fire up WinSCP, connect to the machine, and commence transfer. It worked but it was slow and a pain in the butt.
I just discovered the Zmodem function in SecureCRT. Why hasn’t anyone told me about this! Two clicks and I can transfer a file from my desktop to the directory I’m working on in the server.
So for anyone who reads this and hasn’t discovered Zmodem – give it a try! SecureCRT is the best SSH program I’ve used and this is just another reason why it is so great for me.
