How to Log into Multiple Facebook Accounts

Multiple ID Login in Internet Explorer 8:

If you’re using Internet explorer 8 then open a window and login to the website you desire with one ID. Once done, press Alt and go to File> New session. Now a new window will open go to the website again and login with another ID. Pretty easy isn’t it?
Using Two Different browsers:

There are so many internet browsers to choose between. Some of the popular ones include- Internet explorer, Opera, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc. You can login to one Facebook account in one browser and the other Facebook account in another browser. This way you can login to multiple accounts simultaneously.
Multiple ID Login in Google Chrome:

Logging into different IDs is easier in Google Chrome as comes with an incognito mode that allows you to login to two different instances of the same website.

Firstly, login to the website with your primary ID in Google Chrome.

Now click on the tools icon and select New Incognito Window. Alternatively you can press Ctrl + Shift + N to open a new Incognito Window.

Navigate to the same website and you should be able to login with another user ID.
Multiple ID Login in Firefox and Flock:

Go to Nektra site and install the CookiePie Firefox addon. This addon also works on Flock browser. Once installed, restart the browser. Open a new tab and login to your account with the primary ID.

Now press Ctrl+T to open a new tab. Right click on the tab and select Toggle On/Off Cookiepie.

You’ll now see a cookie on the tab. Now, simply go to the same website and log in with another ID in this tab. Voila! Two Ids are logged in simultaneously.

VirtualBox: LAMP Server on guest OS and make available to host

So here's my sample setup. I am running a LAMP server on my guest os an image of Ubuntu and for now i am only concerned about accessing the webserver on my host machine and also from other machines on the network (something that you cant do out of the box on VMWare Fusion, though i am sure it can be done on it by one means or the other).

I run the following commands:
# VBoxManage setextradata "YourImageName" "VBoxInternal/Devices/e1000/0/LUN#0/Config/guesthttp/Protocol" TCP
# VBoxManage setextradata "YourImageName" "VBoxInternal/Devices/e1000/0/LUN#0/Config/guesthttp/GuestPort" 80
# VBoxManage setextradata "YourImageName" "VBoxInternal/Devices/e1000/0/LUN#0/Config/guesthttp/HostPort" 8080

The above example assumes a Intel PRO/1000 virtual network card; if you have configured the guest to use the PCNet, replace "e1000" with "pcnet" in the above commands. Similarly, if you want to configure a different interface instance replace the /0/ with the appropriate index. pcnet and e1000 are counted separately in this respect, and counting starts at 0 for both types.

The name guesthttp is an arbitrary one chosen for this particular forwarding configuration. With that configuration in place, all TCP connections to port 8080 on the host will be forwarded to port 80 on the guest. Protocol can be either of TCP or UDP (these are case insensitive). To remove a mapping again, use the same commands, but leaving out the values (in this case TCP, 80 and 8080).

It is not possible to configure incoming NAT connections while the VM is running. However you can change the settings for a VM which is currently saved (or powered off at a snapshot).

How To Remove Bogus Tomboy Template

Scenario: Synchronizing with Ubuntu One and Tomboy and all of a sudden extra templates start showing up within Tomboy. Perhaps I created them by accident but once they are there it is impossible to delete them from the current Tomboy interface.

Solution:

1. Close Tomboy
2. edit /home/mruckman/.config/tomboy/manifest.xml

3. use advance find the following folder and look for "template" as your search string:
/home/mruckman/.local/share/tomboy

4. You will now need to identify each file name you wish to delete and create entries in the manifest.xml, you will need to open each file to get the exact title. Use the following template:


5. You will also need to move the offending file into the /home/mruckman/.local/share/tomboybackup folder

6. Save the manifest.xml file and open Tomboy and synchronizing, the offending files should now be deleted from your repository.
