Tunnel VNC via SSH on Windows Mobile!

Oh man, this is sweet! I was searching for a package that would allow me to run VNC over ssh on my Treo 700wx. Well, I found it! Mocha software has a product (http://www.mochasoft.dk/vncce.htm) that does the ssh connection and renders the VNC session all in one package. I tested it out this morning, it runs very well over EV-DO. It’s $20 for a license with all upgrades included. Needless to say, they already have my $20.

I use this software mainly to control my XM PCR (XM Radio) remotely so I can stream it to my Treo via shoutcast!

Here is the initial setup screen. You use your private IP of the VNC server and put in your pass. To use the SSH tunnel check the box for SSH2.

This is the SSH config. Put in your DNS or IP, port, user/pass for your SSH server here. Then hit OK.

Click OK to connect, you will see a status like this.

If done correctly, you should be in! There are three different zoom levels and the “hand” allows you to move around which I like better than the scrollbars as that just wastes space. There are also shortcuts for ctl+alt+del and other F keys.

I finally found Blu-Ray & HD-DVD at Blockbuster!

Five of the six local BB stores near me don’t carry either HD format. So, when I found that the Eagan store off of Cliff had both I was a very happy dude.
I currently have a very good deal through blockbuster.com where I get two online rentals, two in store swaps and one coupon for another movie/game all for $5.99. That’s five movies or four movies and a game each month for $6! All in HD goodness 🙂

I bought a pink DS Lite!

Well, for Carolyn anyhow 🙂

I’ve had my DS for a while now and Carolyn would steal it from me from time to time to play good old Mario Bros, Mario Kart, etc. With all the great franchise titles and the game sharing feature we can now play each other in Mario Bros, Tetris, Clubhouse Games, Mario Kart and Bomberman each with only having one cartridge! The other benefit is that Elizabeth will hopefully be able to start dabbling in games for rides up to the cabin this next year.

Carolyn and I used to play against each other all the time when we were dating on the N64.  It brings back some of that fun competition 🙂

Old man winter gets my DirecTV

The first time ever for me, snow blocked my signal. I simply wiped it off and I’m back in business watching the Wisonsin vs Ohio State game!
I have friends that won’t get the dish because of rain-outs and this snow problem. Like I said, this is the first time the snow has gotten me. As for rain, it does happen but it’s a good sign for me not to be watching and rather hiding in a sfae place if my dish goes out. For me, DTV beats Comcast any day 🙂

Good thing it’s not a Ford or we’d be concerned about the half life 🙂
