How to settup HTTP Proxy server in Ubuntu

Squid - Proxy Server

Squid is a full-featured web proxy cache server application which provides proxy and cache services for Hyper Text Transport Protocol (HTTP), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and other popular network protocols. Squid can implement caching and proxying of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) requests and caching of Domain Name Server (DNS) lookups, and perform transparent caching. Squid also supports a wide variety of caching protocols, such as Internet Cache Protocol (ICP), the Hyper Text Caching Protocol (HTCP), the Cache Array Routing Protocol (CARP), and the Web Cache Coordination Protocol (WCCP).
The Squid proxy cache server is an excellent solution to a variety of proxy and caching server needs, and scales from the branch office to enterprise level networks while providing extensive, granular access control mechanisms, and monitoring of critical parameters via the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). When selecting a computer system for use as a dedicated Squid caching proxy server for many users ensure it is configured with a large amount of physical memory as Squid maintains an in-memory cache for increased performance.

Simple Cartesian Trajectory for Fast Research Libarary for KUKA LWR

There is a great library developed by Stanford University for Fast Research Interface (FRI) of KUKA LWR that can be downloaded here. It has many useful examples but it lacks a Simple Trajectory Generator in Cartesian Impedance Mode.
I have developed one and can be downloaded:

How to set up a personal home web server (100% free)

First step is assigning a globally known address to your home network. Remote access via Dynamic DNS makes this possible. There are many websites provide such service. I have used http://www.noip.com because my internet modem/router supports this website! You have to register in noip website and then you have to add a Host (DNS Host (A)).

Next thing is configuring your modem/router for updating the website with your Dynamic Valid IP address. For doing this you have to find DDNS (Dynamic DNS) under Network settings and enter your noip account details.

For security reason you still cannot access you computers via internet. For doing this you have to use DMZ service. First assign a static IP address for the computer that you want to use it as the  server (e.g. 192.168.2.100). Then add this IP address as DMZ device.

Now you have a connected server. You can now install LAMP or WAMP.
