Manowar gig in Fürth

Music's my life

This concert of Manowar was absolutely great. Never did I experience anythings as loud as that. They performed so great on stage.

But, in “Stadthalle Fürth” some bad word threw a stink bomb. The air-conditioning system could never cope with that. So the smell was horrible. After the concert, I put my clothes on the balcony.

Well, anyway, I will try to get a ticket for them again.

Remote Desktop Connection between UltraVNC SC Server and a listening client on Linux

Linux Tools

Recently, my cousin was asking me for help with her computer. Traveling for 500 km just to help her, is too expensive. So I was looking for an easy remote access tool. I didn’t want to explain for two hours, how to install VNC-Server.

Second thing: I wanted to make sure, that I can listen under Linux. It’s simply too complicated to always switch between two operating systems.

What I found was:

UltraVNC SC

This tool comes helpful, if you want somebody to just click, and the connection will be established. You have to create a txt-file, upload it, and your personal .exe will be created. There are enough UltraVNC howtos online, so I don’t want to go into detail here.

The interesting thing is. If you want to listen with Linux, you can try several VNC-derivatives. Sometimes, connections have been established, but you didn’t get pictures. So, finally, I used wine and downloaded a ultravnc-viewer only. And ran it under Linux like that:

wine vncviewer.exe -listen

Then I started the created UltraVNC SC program. And: et voila, it was working.
