HipChat is an emerging chat application platform. Currently, there is a native, official Linux client that could be downloaded from HipChat website . But as I've been tried it, the application is little bit heavy especially when you are using an old, low-end PC (example : an old dual core Pentium, with less than 2 GB ram). But hey , don't be sad. Apparently, HipChat uses XMPP protocol so we could connect HipChat in any Messenger Client that supports XMPP such as Pidgin (or Kopete). Here are the steps : 1. Get your HipChat username. Go to your HipChat's XMPP Account Page (you need to login). 2. Go to Pidgin > Manage Accoun > Add : Protocol : XMPP Username : Your HipChat username Domain : chat.hipchat.com Resource : leave empty Password : You HipChat password 2. Tadaaa, now you could use HipChat in Pidgin.

OGG is a common, widely used, and the default audio format in Linux. But sometimes, maybe you need to run your OGG collections in an old MP3 player. If so, there is a great tool called ogg2mp3 that can be used to convert massive OGG files into MP3 in one single process. Download You could get the .deb of ogg2mp3 in its Google Code page . This script depends on lame, so you need to install lame first : sudo apt-get install lame . Usage 1. Go to the path where your ogg collections located 2. Run the following command : ogg2mp3 *.ogg *.mp3

SSH Tunneling is a tricky way to connect to internet network. Theoretically, SSH Tunneling is a mechanism to connect to internet network by "riding" other connection's band. In Windows, there are plenty applications and or tools to use SSH tunneling. How about Linux desktop? SSH itself is a tool from Linux world. Thus, SSH Tunneling of course easily can be done in ANY Linux distribution, without ANY third party applications. All you need is ssh command and a tiny tool called proxychains . Purpose SSH tunneling commonly used to bypass regular connection to others' private connection, in order, for example, we could access blocked websites (youtube, porn site, etc). Another common purpose of SSH tunneling is to pursue better internet connection speed. Steps 1. Open terminal and run following command : ssh -D 12345 user@yourserver.com/your server's IP -p server_port Example : ssh -D 12345 andy@192.168.11.99 -p 22 Once you're logged in into
