I have been Remastersys to backup my customized distros for what seems like years. Its been a wonderful utility nicely tailored for this task. But its development stopped few years back, and so there have been couple of alternatives for that. Just recently I had to put together an ISO of my current OS setup on one of my laptops. So digging around I stumbled upon distroshare utility. This is a nice replacement for Remastersys. Its actually called Distroshare Ubuntu Imager. After trying it out I found that it does exactly what I was looking for. And I successfully created a Live CD backup using distroshare.

So just last week I was moved to another project where I'm gonna be working on a client server program. So we are going to be using TCP/IP for communication. And its exciting since its been over two years since I last dabbled in networking. Life is looking exciting. Anyway so the problem was everywhere I looked, I could find only simple networking examples. So I dug in and put together some code to keep a connection alive for back and forth connection. What I did was basically keep the connection open for next request rather than closing it and reopening it. This enabled me to have a continuous chat like communication between client and server. Then I spent some time refactoring the code to make it streamlined. But I still have to add error handling to it. I'll share it here when I have it ready. It was fun!!!
