In this brief blog entry I will note the steps it took for me to use the Network File System (NFS) protocol to share files between another Linux computer.

After reading countless threads and comments for file sharing they all pretty much suggested SaMBa as the simplest solution. In case you aren't familiar SaMBa software will allow a UNIX machine to act as a file server to Windows clients. SMB is fine if you _need_ to share with DOS but we don't need that here.

Identi.ca == Twitter Linux OR Twitter Torrent

Identi.ca Friend @bitfaker wrote an entry at haochen.wordpress.com regarding the release of identi.ca. This micro-blogging solution claims to be an open source (so one day a decentralized or federation Identi.ca) status tool, aka twitter linux aka twitter torrent. The general idea is; hack it, mod it, tweak it, and see what happens.

Resources and Images for Uwars

Universe Wars, or Uwars for short, is an online browser based empire-building game. "It has an expansive population, busy forums, and a (mostly) friendly chat." A wide variety of people gather on Uwars to build an army, team together (alliances), and destroy their enemies. A wide variety of units, as well as the Spycraft feature and much more, makes it a game definitely worth playing.
