Using connect.c to SSH through a SOCKS server

connect.c is a simple relaying command to make network connections via SOCKS and https proxies. It is mainly intended to be used as a proxy command for SSH.

You can download a copy and compile it using the command gcc -o connect connect.c , however you might find if you are using Mac OSX that it doesn’t compile properly, that’s because you need to make a couple of changes. You need to find the #include <resolv.h> line and change it to #include <resolv8_compat.h> and above it add #define MAXDNAME 2048.

.mdf and the Mac

I recently acquired a disk image that was using the file extension .mdf. This file extension is Alcohol 120%’s proprietary disk image format. 

Since i don’t run Windows and therefore can’t use Alcohol 120%, i went in search of a solution.

The solution is simple. By renaming the .mdf file to a .cdr file, this allows the Disk Utility in OS X to mount the drive as normal. This also gives you access to all the data inside the disk image.

Evernote for iPhone update, adds offline support

The Evernote iPhone application (iTunes link) has added offline support - select a ‘favourite’ note, and it’s synchronized for offline use.

This is exactly what I have been waiting for from this application. Now I can use this application much more for notes that I need on the go, without having to worry about whether or not I will have signal.

What’s Evernote? Check out this Lifehacker article for information on how you can expand your brain with Evernote.
