It’s Done

Well, it took all summer, but it’s finally finished. The entire site has the same look.

On to other news – the final year of school starts… today. I’ll be writing more. I’ve got plenty of plans for the next two years.

multiple servers, one gui machine

For some reason I consistently forget how to do this… so I’m jotting it down. You can manage all your machines with an X11 gui from one machine via ssh forwarding.

First, jump into a terminal using ctrl+alt+Fx (where x= 1-6 on ubuntu).
Start a new X client session using xinit — : x vtX (where x = a number > 0 that is not already in use for an x display, and X equals 11 or 12… this allows you to switch to the new gui using ctr+alt+X)
Next, you’ll be on a blank screen with a terminal in the upper left. ssh while forwarding the remote x via ssh -X user@host
you’re set! you can start your window manager or individual programs now.

Now… there… I’ll remember.

Three Months Ago

It seems like I was just on here a few days ago – turns out that it has been three months! I’ve recently been working on the new website layout. It is live on the main page and the rest of the site will be converted shortly.

I’ll blog soon – and I have photos to post shortly, too.
