Apache 2 SSL setup in Ubuntu

I was trying to get SSL setup with Apache 2 Http server in Ubuntu. I've enabled the SSL module and restarted but I was getting this error:

Invalid method in request \x16\x03

After some googling, I've found this article http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=806884 .  The following was the suggestion and it works.

sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default-ssl
sudo service apache2 restart

Mac OS X Lion and iTerm 2 Keybindings

I had to switch from Linux to Mac OS X Lion (10.7) at my work place. After getting used to Linux bash shell, I did not like the Mac terminal at all. I've install iTerm 2 and played with its keybindings and I've got the following useful keyboard shortcuts working.

• To move cursor word-by-word  backward: Mapped Option + Left Arrow key to "Send Escape Sequence" and b
• To move cursor word-by-word  forward: Mapped Option + Right Arrow key and "Send Escape Sequence" and f
• To move cursor to the beginning of the sentence: Mapped Option + Up Arrow key to "Send Hex Code" and 1
• To move cursor to the end of the sentence: Mapped Option + Down Arrow key to "Send Hex Code" and 5
• To delete a word-byword ( backward-kill-word ): Mapped Option + BackSpace key to to "Send Hex Code" and 17

The keybindings can be changed from Preferences > Keys (or Preferences > Profiles > Keys). Since the profile level shortcuts were not useful I got rid of most of them from Preferences > Profiles > Keys.

Additionally, these built-in shortcuts will be useful:

• Ctrl a : Goto the beginning of sentence.
• Ctrl e : Goto the end of the sentence.
• Ctrl w : Delete words backward.

These were couple of useful articles helped me to fix this:

Is your privacy safe online? (I don't think so)

I have recently found that there are several online people search site which list our name, address, age, phone number, job, photo & map of house, price of the house, parent's names and many more information.

You can search yourself on these sites and see the results:

www.spokeo.com

www.pipl.com

It is dangerous to keep your privacy information listed online, as a quick search by your name will reveal most your details to any one in the world!

You can remove listing your details from those sites by:

www.spokeo.com/privacy

pipl.com/directory/remove/

But there may be some other sites doing the same, showing your privacy info. If you find any just remove yourself from that site (and let me know too).
