ssh tunnelling

On the receiving server edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. Replace AllowTcpForwarding yes. restart sshd (or reboot) for this setting to take effect.

On the receiving server say
ssh -L:localhost: @ -N

On the sourcing/originating/'client' machine say
sh -L:localhost: @ -N

Now you can use any tool on the 'client' machine as though the server is running locally - only caution is to know that you have to use the credentials of the remote machine as needed. For example, if you want to use MySQL query browser on the client, you have to give the credential of the username of the machine on which the MySQL server is running. This will be the machines account - not mysql account.

soundid

Currently, the price of SoundID products are on the higher range of the spectrum compared to similar mobile phone products in the market - hopefully, they are superior in sound quality as compared to inexpensive ones.
Company founded in Jan 2000
SoundID uses csr bluetooth module
Potential for WiFi taking over bt
Company seems to have strong medical background (notice the founders and investors background)
Possibility of some one breaking bt encryption and putting audio in all available ear pieces around - devastating impact (as the modules might be useless or costly upgrades)

Investors' exist strategy:
Texas Instrument buying
IPO not likely until the sale of minimum 100K/Year.
Dependency on overseas manufacturing

Alviso

Ghost towns in the bay area:
Drawbridge, California (Near Alviso) and
Holy City, California (on HW 17)

Alviso north of 237 is a old Mexican town. Many homes & establishments are old and having Mexican flavor all over. There is a train track and the trains go on them ones a day or so (actively used).
The southern part of Alviso is modern and have newer companies like other areas in the south bay. Guadalupe River and Coyote Creek flood here... Last big flood was in 1983. The levee has been strengthened since.

Mexican restaurant visited: Marie Elena's Restaurant in Gold Street.

Alviso is currently part of SJ (not too sure).
An electric generator came to the town during the fall of Gov Davis - California energy crisis.

The property was owned by an old short lady who died recently.
