Finding your ip address

May 31st 2007 Posted to Geekery

Every now and again it’s useful to be able to see what your ip address is on the internet. Maybe you’d like someone to view a website you’re developing on your mac…

tar usage

May 16th 2007 Posted to Geekery

The short of is that I have a 12 mb tarball sitting on my server which needs to be unzipped. Luckily I have ssh access, so I ssh’d in and performed the following command to extract it:

tar -xvzf file.tar.gz

To take a peak inside I could have done

tar -tvzf file.tar.gz

…and still remain grateful to KarKomaOnline (man pages are just so…long…)
