Due diligence
You know, there are some days when you just don't want to do anything and you're not quite sure what it is that you want to do. Today is one of those days.
I have been spending a lot of time over the last few weeks learning Linux. I've been learning how to copy files from windows to Linux and vice versa. I've also learned how to remotely control a Linux server using something called VNC.
I've really become research boy over the last two weeks. We are getting ready to move our production servers to Linux, but none of us is really well versed in the subject. Since I like to figure things out I have been tasked with making it work and then writing up how I did it. It's been a nice break, but I'm ready to get back to coding.
I have found some real useful tools for Linux. WinSCP is a useful file transfer utility. It uses SSH to transfer files, but you don't have to be running an FTP server on the computer you are trying to connect to. If you use it in combination with PuTTY you have a file transfer with a terminal in one application.
I visited a new church over the weekend. It was their first Sunday in their new building. Grace Avenue United Methodist Zeke had recommended it when we visited at Jamie's wedding. I enjoyed the service, but since I've run sound before, I noticed all the little hickups. Dezi said I must have liked it if I was picking it apart. I thought his sermon was fun. He talked about The Real World, The Velveteen Rabbit, The Apprentice and tied it all into the story of the prodigal son.
