web-based ssh

[SSH](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell) has come to be my most used protocol besides http. It allows me to fully access a computer, transfer files, and all communications are encrypted (so I feel safe!). Since all my computers are Linux-based, I can use ssh by starting a terminal.

Adobe Flash Player 11 beta out – no more npviewer.bin process sucking CPU resource?

Adobe Flash Flash Player 11 beta is [out](http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/Adobe-Flash-Player-11-beta/). I immediately installed it per [these](http://www.webupd8.org/2011/07/adobe-releases-flash-player-11-beta.html) instructions after downloading the binaries [here](http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer11.html) (via the `~/.mozilla/plugins` method).

Found [KeySnail](http://wiki.github.com/mooz/keysnail/) on the StumpWM [wiki](http://stumpwm.antidesktop.net/wiki/Stump-friendly_Tools). It let’s me define keybindings in Firefox (default setup has emacs-like keybindings). Now Firefox won’t close when I accidentally press `C-q` (customized to “unfocus”) and I can use “C-v” and “M-v” when paging through. Cool!

emacs-style web browser: Conkeror

I remember back then when I used Kubuntu, I love Konqueror because I can hit Ctrl and all the links would be highlighted. I just need to type the letters corresponding to the link and Konqueror would take me to that link. I love it because I didnt have to use my mouse or touchpad. read more »

Firefox: find as you type

Back in the days when I used Kubuntu, I used konqueror because if I hit the CTRL key, all the links would light up with a yellow tag by its side with either a letter or a number (or some character). If I typed that character then konqueror would go to that link’s page. I read more »
