Fork bomb in Windows

It's really simple. Just install Cygwin, write fork bomb (even by accident) and finally run in bash - works fine. I had to restart my machine with restart button.

Quick and dirty ad-hoc git hosting

Recently I needed to synchronize my local repository with a remote machine, just for full backup. It's really simple if you have standard Linux tools (Cygwin works too, of course).

1. in a working directory run:

$ pwd
/home/foo/project
$ git update-server-info

2. in a parent directory start HTTP server:

$ cd ..
$ pwd
/home/foo
$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...

3. on a remote machine clone/pull/whatever:

$ git clone http://your_ip:8000/project/.git

Step 1 have to be executed manually when local repository has changed.
