News You Can Bruise for 2005 March 14 (entry 1)

(3) Mon Mar 14 2005 20:56 PST: I wrote my cute little IRC ripoff for the book in about 100 lines of Python. I was going to invite you all to telnet in and try it out, but there are firewalls in front of all the machines on which I can run the program, firewalls that prevent me from exposing servers of any kind to the outside. Tragedy!

If you won't get in trouble for doing this, you should do something like

ssh -f -g -R 2323:localhost:23 somehost sleep 1000000

If you don't have a host where you can do that, I can probably give you an account on one.

You can always run it at tastytronic.net if you want -- I'll need to make a firewall hole for you though.
