Found the follow handy .screenrc posted in a forum. If you are a heavy UNIX user and you haven’t used GNU Screen, you are missing out on one of the handiest applications around. Highly recommended. The following adds a nice status line and F5 and F6 to switch through windows, F7 to rename the active window, and F8 to create a new window.

Tom Moertel wrote a very concise port scanner in Haskell. I have never looked at Haskell in any detail, but this program seems pretty impressive. You wouldn’t be able to do a port scanner quite so neatly in most other languages. I guess I’ll have to put that on the long stack of things to look into in more someday.
