The Narrows Tacoma Bridge Disaster of 1940

Bridge Disaster , caused by wind blowing onto the bridge and due to
natural resonance frequency of the bridge , it swayed until it breaks and collapse.
An engineering problem , which i believe still very relevant today.


and a inventor , from that engineering problem. came up with a smart idea.

The windbelt, which is a wind base power generator. with almost no mechanical parts.


Will give it a try soon.

Thanks

Using SSH and X11 XDMCP with Xming

Hello ,
Recently i wanted to connect securely from windows to a fedora 7 linux box, and tried using Cgywin , but could not connect successfully.

Found a X-Windows server client for MS windows , it is Xming , runs great on windows and best of all , it is free.

Well here are some steps to get it working quick.

1. Install the Xming program
2. Start the XLaunch program of Xming
3. Select 'Full-Screen Mode' , click next
4. Select 'Start a program' , click next
5. program to start is xterm , which is the default . Followed by clicking 'Using PuTTY(plink.exe)'
6. Key in the IP address of the computer to connect and also the 'login as user' , click next
7. Click next
8. Click Finish
9. PuTTY will prompt you for password. Key in password
10 . In the Xterm , enter 'gnome-session &' , if your linuxbox is using gnome , else kde-session or others to start session.
11. Do not close the current Xterm , else the Xming will appear to hang. So minimize this window
12. To logoff just close the Xming. (it seems that the xterm and gnome-session doesn't close cleanly , don't know why?)

BTW: here is a link about OpenSSH ,
It is a form of secure connectivity method for data transaction.

Ok.
Thats it
Have a nice day.

Checks for health

Finished my year health screening at SATA - Singapore Anti-tuberculosis Association , Chai chee clinic. Nice nurses and doctors there.

When to collect report, and might as well ask the doctor on what checks need to be done before running marathon.

Treadmill test
Spirometry test

Ok.

Have a nice day.
