This article on ssh pubkey authentication shows you how to set up SSH to allow connections based on pub/private keys instead of host-based user and password. It works similar to the old rsh protocol only in a secure fashion.

This follow up article shows you how to use ssh-agent to manage your keys.

As reported on boingboing.. Call it the evils of capitalism "supply and demand." Call it a means to feed the bursting human population of Earth. Call it want you want, but this "E-Z Catch Harvester" disturbed me. Its a "chicken harvester." Watch the video. Some people may find this amusing. I didn't. I wonder how many chickens are maimed or killed in the process. Of course they are going to be slaughtered for food anyway, but this seems considerably more cruel than going out to the coop, scooping one up and lopping its head off.

Will I stop eating meat? No. Will I join an animal rights activist group? No. I would consider spending the extra $1 a pound for meat, if it meant more humane treatment for the creatures. Perhaps this soft civil life of mine is making me weak minded.

The BSG series is moving along. I'm really enjoying it. If you haven't already, give a look at the SciFi.com web site: http://www.scifi.com/battlestar.

Specifically, you may like the BSG blog. If you are really into the show, you'll love the podcast. If you don't know what podcasting is, first try to keep up with the times, second read about it here. The podcast is an audio commentary to the latest episode by executive producer Ronald D. More.

The site also has episode guides, deleted scenes, etc.
