Cork LUG – Fish, ftp over ssh using mc – oh yeah, this is cool! This works in the version of mc shipped with Red Hat 8, and will probably work with older versions too. Don’t forget to copy your sshed virtual directory location to the directory hotlist too!

Pyrotechnic Antics in Cork
Last night I saw two women swinging lit torches around in the air outside the Society Bar as part of some promotion or stunt by the bar.

A small crowd had gathered to watch but since that crowd included children I doubt the pub made much money out of the exercise. And of course they very nearly hit me with a torch as I walked past and they got off the road to let a car go past!

When I first started this blog, it was because I had just been laid off, and wanted my savings to last as long as possible. So I undertook this project, trying to stretch leftovers in creative new ways. Just reheating was a cop-out. But now I’m re-employed, so it’ll have to be a bit different.
