On my home server, I have a nfs server running and I use nfs to mount
my music to my laptop. Ever since the first day the nfs mount process
used to be dead slow. Today I got irritated enough to check out if
this is a common problem.
It seems that this is a common enough problem. The reason is that nfs
requires portmap to be running on both the client and the server side.
The youtube search does a good job of searching videos. In its search
page, it allows you to search by popularity/ratings/date. I have
found that videos with longer playing time are usually the ones I am
interested in, however, there is no option to sort the results by
playing time.
I did a bit of digging in the Youtube Developer's guide and saw that
they give the length of the video in seconds. The next piece was
Yahoo! Pipes. I created a pipe which would fetch videos from youtube
and then passes the results through the sort operator to sort the
results based on the yt:duration field. Tada! That gives me videos
matching my search criteria near the top.
RFC 822 allows people to define and use additional header fields in
their emails. These fields start with X- in their names. For
example, X-Quarantine-ID or X-Spam-Score. Usually these headers are
not too interesting. I wanted to see if the spammers use any custom
fields in the spam messages that they send out.
The complete analysis is posted here. The headers that I found
interesting (i.e. the ones that occur very infrequently)
X-DSNContext
This seems to be header set by MS Exchange
X-AntiVirus: Checked,
This seems to be header set be spammers to confuse the mail filter
