Since a few weeks ago, every time I would run SSH to sign into my server I would have to wait about a minute before I could even get a key/password prompt. The problem never really went away, so I contacted my ISP.
After a few email exchanges with some SSH debug logs and traceroutes, they added a reverse DNS record to see if it helped. Strangely enough, it did. I’ve never had a reverse DNS entry associated with my IP, and I’ve never had any trouble with it in the past. Only recently did connections start to halt because of it.
So, if you don’t have a reverse DNS entry on your IP and have been noticing slow SSH connections, call up or email your ISP to get one added. You will love your connection that much more.
Peter Upfold made a very valid point about the state of Linux video editing:
So here I throw it out to you. Has anyone out there had experience with FOSS-based Linux screen capture and does anyone have any ideas on how I could rework the way I do things to make this better? Even if it involves radically changing the set of tools I am using, I am open to any ideas that could solve the problem.
We’ve got all of these projects coming up like PiTiVi, but for getting the job done now, what would be the best way to have a go at video without hacking around between formats too much?
I was also sucked into this 5-a-day fad. How long will I last?

It took me a while, but I finally have all of my sites set up on a Linode VPS. If you are ever looking into getting a virtual server, definitely check ‘em out.
I’m tired, so I’m not going to write much more. Oh well.
