yum update script
So the other week I have been working on my dedicated box, just to make it a bit easier to work with in the future.

Promising Movies = Pants Wet
As a dork, nerd, geek, computer idiot, sci fi, technology lover, etc .. I can’t help but write down a few promising movie titles that should get your pants wet.

Secure your Twitter
I’ve mentioned it before in another post, but now that I’ve confirmed it works for twitter I’d like to point out that if you’re on a public network, or you’re using someone’s wifi, or you’re simply security concious that you might wish to consider using https:// so the traffic between twitter and you is encrypted.
https://twitter.com/ works. So use it!
