-
Anybody got tips on how to make SSH on low bandwidth / bad connections (eg: 0-4KBps) more bearable?

This might help if you open several connections to the same server:

Also, you can use the -C option for compression (or put Compression yes in the appropriate place in your ~/.ssh/config file). If either machine is very CPU-starved or ancient, this might not be a big help, though.

thanks both of you

@bochecha

that tips helps in creating new connections .. but the lag when typing commands etc is still quite long..

@pfrields

i am using compression in my connection, though, its still not quite enough ..

I guess i had to live with this for the time being.

10-15seconds lag is kindof too long .. anyway .. thanks to both of you for responding

Tee'ing Python subprocess.Popen output

-
A little hack for python coders out there who wanted to have a functionality similar to the unix's tee command for redirecting output to multiple places.


import sys
from subprocess import Popen,PIPE
p = Popen(['put','command','and','arguments','here'],stdout=PIPE)

while True:
o = p.stdout.readline()
if o == '' and p.poll() != None: break
# the 'o' variable stores a line from the command's stdout
# do anything u wish with the 'o' variable here
# this loop will break once theres a blank output
# from stdout and the subprocess have ended

Adding simple popup to Plone frontpage

-
Here is a little guide for those who want to add a simple popup to the Plone frontpage for some purpose (eg: announcements, advertisements, etc).

Create a basic html file containing the content you want to appear in the popup. Upload it into $PLONE_SITE/portal_skins/custom (as Page Template) and for the sake of this example, name it popup.html

Afterward, create a Javascript file with your Pop-Up loader script. For example , this script:


function popup(mylink, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
var href;
if (typeof(mylink) == 'string')
href=mylink;
else
href=mylink.href;
window.open(href, windowname, 'width=220,height=400,scrollbars=no');
return false;
};

popup('popup.html', 'My Popup');


Also upload this file into $PLONE_SITE/portal_skins/custom (as Page Template too). For this example, name it as popup.js

Afterward, in $PLONE_SITE/portal_javascripts , add popup.js as a new script into portal_javascripts…
