Changes in the corner

Hey all.

I'm going to ask all of my followers (all three of them) to please give me feedback on the blog's new look.

Don't hold back.

Also, a couple of posts are on their way so keep coming back.

Who know's maybe tomorrow you can find some code snippets to help you backup your system in a single click?

Anywho, thanks for the feedback.

Enjoy the new look.

Cheers.

Python's Socket Module

Hey all of you Python enthusiasts!

I just wanted to share something I found today.

If you're trying to find an IP address on your network and you know the other computer's "name", then Python's socket module can help.

If in Windows:

1. Go to Run
2. Type "cmd"
3. Type "python" to start IDLE. (If you don't know what IDLE is click here to get more information.
4. Type "import socket"
5. Type "print socket.gethostbyname("xxx") (Where "xxx" is the machine's name)
6. If that host is found in your network, the host IP will show up on screen.

I came across this function while trying to set up an NFS server in my home network.

As of this posts writing, I have not been able to set up NFS.

Anyhow, that's all for now.

Until next time.

Nights in the City

New York, New York. The city I once feared is now my home for four nights a week. ...And I tell you, I love it now!

At some point during the week I'll go out and takes some pictures of the skyline and the streets for all of you out there.

For now, I leave you with two pictures of the view from my hotel room.

Enjoy!
