Install and use Apple's free dual-screen VNC server - Mac OS X Hints

Install and use Apple's free dual-screen VNC server - Mac OS X Hints: "After setting this up, you can now remotely control your Mac with any free VNC viewer (e.g. Chicken of the VNC), running on Mac OS X or any other OS. Of course, you can't use all the other cool Apple Remote Desktop control features on the above screen, but being able to use a free VNC server is a nice touch!

[robg adds: I tested this one on my PowerBook, connecting to my desktop machine. The dual-screen support works very nicely indeed, though there's a lot of scrolling required on a 12" PowerBook screen. But it's great being able to actually see both screens now. The Apple VNC server is definitely slower than OSXvnc, which is what I normally use."

Loan Tyrants And Finance Bullies – What Every Small Business Should Understand About Financing in Today’s Economy

Loan Tyrants And Finance Bullies – What Every Small Business Should Understand About Financing in Today’s Economy: "While financing has been a continuous problem in the area of buying and selling small businesses, the high numbers were a bit of a shock to many. Probably the scariest part about the survey is the results that came next. When BizBuySell.com asked what the future holds for the financial side of small business transactions, the numbers continued to remain high on the negatives:

• 49% said funding will remain the same through 2011, 42% said it will worsen
• 88% still feel that this market will return to normal, but 50% of those think it will take at least two years
• 85% feel that the US economy will be affected negatively unless something is done about the financing and loan process in this market"

How to configure cron jobs in Cpanel for my Drupal site | drupal.org

How to configure cron jobs in Cpanel for my Drupal site | drupal.org: "My site has rss news feeds that do not "update" automatically. I learned that the cron jobs need to be configured for it to automatically update.

I installed Drupal using cpanel/fantastico. I have seen a cron jobs area at cpanel and there is a blank slot to enter something to run.

What should I enter in that cpanel/cron jobs blank area?

Please note that I am a newbie and would not understand Drupal or php linggo.

I have researched on the topic but none of the answers seems to fit with the cpanel cron jobs topic."

Using Rsync and SSH

Using Rsync and SSH: "his document covers using cron, ssh, and rsync to backup files over a local network or the Internet. Part of my goal is to ensure no user intervention is required when the computer is restarted (for passwords, keys, or key managers).
I like to backup some logging, mail, and configuration information sometimes on hosts across the network and Internet, and here is a way I have found to do it. You'll need these packages installed:
rsync
openssh
cron (or vixie-cron)"
