I just had a chance to try out an incredible new plugin for Firefox called “Tilt”, which allows you to see a 3D model of any websites DOM structure. To give it a try, check out mozilla hacks website or directly download the XPI file.
Here is a screenshot of the CampusLIVE team page inside the view. Cool!
I am frequently sent large zip files of photos or videos from clients, which I need to download and then FTP to their website. I decided today to find a different way to do this so I could bypass the long process of uploading GBs of files.
1) Go to your email from YouSendIt and right click on the download button. Copy this link.
2) SSH into your server.
3) Issue the “lynx” command to open a text-based browser
lynx https://rcpt.yousendit.com/1258529888/2f2b4adaf69882f770
4) Anytime you are prompted for a cookie or SSL error, just follow the prompt by pressing “y” or “Y”
5) Once the page loads, you just hit the down key until you get to the link to the file. Then hit the right arrow key to start the download.
6) exit lynx (ctrl + z)
7) locate the file that was downloaded. It’s likely in the folder you’re currently in.
unzip the file
unzip nameoffile.zip
