Twirssi error: Timestamp out of bounds

I just found my twirssi inactive.

Quite easy to solve, just sync it to an NTP server.
Open a terminal and enter:

ntpdate pool.ntp.org

Try to load the script again and login.
All should be fine now.

  5. Forwarded the default ssh port (22) to my desktop PC which has a fixed IP
  6. Drink a coffee.
  7. Added the credentials needed to the ConnectBot’s configuration
