I use a lot of ssh. In fact, I’d consider myself an sshista with how much time I spend ssh’ed to different computers- and I’m by no means special in this regards. In this, the ControlMaster option enables piggybacking multiple shells on top of a single connection. That’s incredibly useful. When you make your first [...]
Recently I’ve gotten into a little row on Twitter regarding CIQ, openness, and security. On the top level, I’m going to hand it to @sysrich, and agree.

I just found this today, and seeing there wasn’t anything else on it, here goes: I have multiple computers in my apartment, and a few on a Linux machine being virtualized via VirtualBox, with a bridged network configuration.

I spent most of my waking hours this weekend trying to convince Emacs that it really can be the center of my networked life. This is my story. I first setup org-mode. It’s a great combination of both Evernote and Omnifocus, with note-taking built right in with task management. This is is pure elisp and [...]
While working, I’m involved in a lot of lone-wolf projects with multiple moving parts and different people coming into the orbit of my projects at different times. It’s rough keeping things organized, and for those of you who know me personally, organization is not one of my strong suits. For the benefit of others like [...]
There has got to be a way to run the cables under my desk in a manner that doesn’t look like ass. I just haven’t found it yet, apparently.
