Check out this great tip from nion’s blog:

ssh on-the-fly port forwarding.

I’ve often wanted to open up new port forwards, but haven’t wanted to shut down my existing session.

If you follow this by # character (and thus type ~#) you get a list of all forwarded connections.
Using ~C you can open an internal ssh shell that enables you to add and remove local/remote port forwardings

ssh> help
Commands:
-L[bind_address:]port:host:hostport Request local forward
-R[bind_address:]port:host:hostport Request remote forward
-KR[bind_address:]port Cancel remote forward

ssh> -L 8080:localhost:8080

I got partway through my second attempt at week 4 again…and then started coming down with a cold which seems to have drained me of energy. Copious amounts of OJ and Cold FX have staved off the worst so far, but my running and pushup routines have suffered. I have my 10km Egg Nog Jog on Sunday, which is looking like it could be a very painful experience.

Well, it seems like all the cool kids are tweetering these days, so to keep up with the times, I’ve signed up on the twitter.

I’ve fixed a few bugs with poster, and released the next version, 0.2. It’s available from the cheeseshop, or from my web page.
