use SSH to tunnel a port on your local machine to the IP of the host you are trying to reach (port 80). When the tunnel is up you should be able to web browse to 127.0.0.1:port For example... Say I want to web browse to www.crocker.com (159.250.20.1) but the proxy won't let me. Say I have a SSH server sitting somewhere (at home for example) on IP 1.2.3.4) From your office machine you can (I'm a unix geek so bare with me) ssh -L80:159.250.20.1:80 1.2.3.4 which will build a tunnel from your local port (80) to the remote machine (159.250.20.1) through your home server (1.2.3.4) You then web browse to 127.0.0.1 (loopback IP of all machines) which will run through the tunnel and out to the website. The website *may* redirect you back to its name 'http://www.porn.com' which will not go through the tunnel. If that is the case you need to edit your local hosts file (C:\Windows\etc\hosts or C:\windows\system32\etc\hosts do a dir/s hosts*.* to find it) to point www.porn.com back to your local IP (127.0.0.1). The line should look something like: 127.0.0.1 localhost www.porn.com If the ISA server is allowing SSH (TCP port 22) they will never be able to tell what you are doing because everything over the tunnel is encrypted. If they are blocking port 22, find a port they are not blocking (23, 25, 110, 143) and setup the SSH server to listen on that port Disclaimer: This is bound to royaly piss off the IT department at your office and could lead to termination of your employment. I know I would come down hard on my employees if they circumvented my security/firewall rules EDIT: A really good SSH client for Windows is SecureCRT http://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/

Dave, I checked my bandwidth usage stats and you beat the crap out of my inbound when you were uploading the files. I need to buy more bandwidth :). I see a slight bump in my normal outbound bandwidth but nothing to complain about so far. Once you get the database moved over I'll look to see what all the other freaks on this site do to my bandwidth. So far, no biggie :) -Matt

Or maybe another skydiver is an ISP It is up as I type this but Dave hasn't moved the database over yet so it is a bit slow. Once Dave moves the database it should scream :)

Yes it is! So, did a kind soul mirror it, or did Dave's web provider finally see he was right? I'm hosting it on one of my servers.

Thanks :) We aren't the cheapest web hosting around but we are GOOD! . I'll also accept jump tickets

Yep, It looks like the site is up but it isn't hitting the local database yet. I just created the MySQL database on my server, dave needs to populate it and then move the script over. For the geeks out there. www.skydivingmovies.com is now hosted on web-cluster1.crocker.com which is... A load balanced cluster of 2 Linux (Fedora)/Apache servers (P-III 1Ghz with 1Gig RAM). Data is stored in a MySQL database and on a NetFiler F720 NAS. I gave the site 20 Gigs of drive space, If we actually hit that mark I'll have to up the quota a bit. hits are load balanced between the two servers using Linux Virtual Server (www.linuxvirtualserver.org). We currently have 3 upstream Internet connections (Sprint, Verio, Cent.net) Total bandwidth is about 100mbps. I'm looking at replacing the DS-3s with FastEthernet or GigE over the summer. I need a new router first (big time expense :() *hhrm, new router or 1/4 of an Otter.... decisions, decisions* Be nice!!! Don't beat on the servers too bad. If things get too bad I'll have to move the site to a dedicated 'non-production' box and rate-limit it. Not a big deal, just some shuffling around on this end. skydivingmovies.com will have a home somewhere on my network until Dave wants to move it. Enjoy! -Matt

How YOU doin' Aint that the truth. I have seen thongs that make structural engineers cring in terror. Oh! the humanity!

Toilets? You lucky bastard, we have porta potties, and let me tell ya those are NASTY on a busy tandem filled weekend in august. My experience... Orange, MA. Pretty good, only 1 but it is clean Eloy, AZ. Decent, cleaned regularly Zhills, FL. Decent Ranch, NY, NASTY, Sulfur water and not cleaned enough UGH! Sebastian, FL. NASTY! OMG *HURL*. Sebastian makes the ranch look like a friggen palace. CPI, Porta potties? I don't remember Northampton, MA, Porta potties, they are emptied often but can really 'stack' up on weekends.

ask for a REBUILT engine not a new one. If you ask the VW guy for a new engine that it what you'll get. You can also ask how much it would cost if they used rebuilt/used parts instead of OEM new. The mechanic should be able to yank the exact same motor out of a car at the junk heap for $1k, replace the belts and fluids. You don't know what you are buying at that point (junk heap car could have 200k miles) but it would be cheaper.

They are ripping you off! Trying to get your to make a decision under pressure 'Buy now or it will cost more' bullshit reeks of used-car sales. Take a step back, Would the 3k be better spent as a deposit on a new to you car? Find out how much the trade is on the car.

O' Brother where art though? Disclaimer: The only reason why I know this is because it is one of my wifes favorite movies.

"For our policemen, we created a race of robots. Their function is to patrol the planets in space ships like this one and prepare for peace. In matters of aggression, we have given them absolute power, a power that cannot be revoked. At the first sign of violence they act automatically against the aggressor. The penalty for provoking their action is too terrible to risk. The result is, we live in peace, without arms or armies, secure in the knowledge that we are free from aggression and war. I came here to give you these facts. It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet. But if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned out cinder. your choice is simple: join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration."

I went to an all boy Catholic Highschool. I got none of that. Soooo... xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I went to private catholic grade school xXXXXXXXXXXxxxxx Public high school sucked, the only reason why I didn't get my ass kicked on a regular basis was I could ski like a mad man, and I had a bigger brother who was 'cool'

Me? No, not at all . I was just asking for the good of the community.... and Ivan, yeah thats it Ivan wanted to see the proof.

If it ain't on video, it didn't happen.

If you need a chunk of web space to host it let me know. I can make some available which is plugged into 100 megs o' pure Internet goodness (yes, thats mbps)

Oh, well if that is the case I would like to announce the formation of 'Lets buy Matt a new rig charity' Thats right! You too can help support this worthy cause. Simply send your non-tax deductible checks to me and I'll make sure that I.. Er, Matt (aka me) will get a new rig... I need a second one anyway :p

Um, I think you are only supposed to whip the whites of the eggs until the form stiff peaks. If you get even the slightest bit of yoke in there it won't work and you'll get what you got.

If it wasn't for lawyers, we wouldn't need lawyers....

I've never had a problem with my PD Spectre. I suck at packing but and it has never slammed me hard. Sometimes it opens a bit too slow and scares me.

Simple, Lemon chicken with Orso. You'll need: Chicken breast (pound it thin) Lemons (6 to 8 of them) Eggs Flour Butter Orso (In the pasta isle) Cans of chicken broth (College Inn, 4 BIG cans) 2 BIG frying pans. First, Melt a chunk of butter (doesn't really matter how much but use a lot) and brown the orso. Get it really really dark brown, Stir it around, it should end up tri-colored with shades of tan and really deep chocolate brown. Set the orso aside. Beat the crap out of the chicken (i.e. pound it thin). Dunk it in an egg wash, dredge it in seasoned flour (flour + black pepper). Fry in a pan with butter until golden brown. Brown up all of the chicken and set aside. You can do the above steps ahead of time and just keep everything in the fridge. Final prep.... Add chicken broth to the Orso, it is pasta after all and needs to boil in liquid to become tender. Keep watching the liquid content, add broth as needed. Treat it like rice. Don't let it dry out but don't drown it in broth. It will take about 20 minutes to cook up, nice an tender. Add chicken back to the frying pan. Add chicken broth and the juice of 3 to 4 lemons. Taste test it. It should be rather lemony and tart but not overpowering. The lemon flavor will get stronger the more you cook it. The excess flour from the chicken and the frying pan will thicken the broth into a gravy/sauce. Cook the chicken 20 minutes along with the orso. When everything is all yummy, serve the chicken on a bed of orso. Greenbeans are nice to serve on the side. Pretty simple, 2 pan meal that tastes AWESOME (if you like chicken and lemon that is). I also have a killer recipe for baked stuffed shrimp if you are interested. It is a bit more complex but very yummy :)

Dinner out for two at a nice restuarant, or a pile of money and a very big THANK YOU.

Buy the airfare and book standby on the boat. If the boat gets filled up use the $$ you would have spent on the full price cruise to rent a car and tour the European country side. Either you get a great cruise at a great price or you get to see Europe. You are rolling the dice but you really can't lose.

Damn, don't piss in the Amazon!. The damn fish follows you urine, swims up your penis or anus and lodges itself with its spiny head while it sucks on your blood and gorges your flesh with its rasp like teeth. I only hope and pray that if this ever happens to me I fall into a stagnat pool full of piranah to they can finish me off quickly OW!
