i love ssh

By e; — Wednesday, December 26, 2001

I love the fact that I just upgraded the firmware on my router without losing my ssh connection to the host my email's on. Downtime was probably a minute or two, then ssh just figured things back out. At school I used to move my notebook between rooms, plug back in, and keep my session. That was always fun.

work

As I walked to lunch today, it was snowing. Now it's snowing harder. The ground's not that cold so I doubt any will stick, but still... Snow... And I'm wearing sandals.

I'm now back in Michigan, writing this from one of my trusty SGI Indys. These boxes are definitely not fast, but they're functional. And the internal speaker on an Indy is amazingly good.
