I love it!

Not a whole lot happening today. Lots of servers crashed. I found out that a Linksys 4-port cable/dsl router with wireless functionality will NOT work with Apple's airport software. Perhaps I'll explain more about that soon.

I've been playing with CustomTacos.com tonight. You know, me playing with all of these web sites is much like an old guy going out in his rather large garage, picking a car to piddle with for the night, then getting totally wrapped up in it for the rest of the evening. I set up a basic HTML template for the site and then began installing the Yahoo-style links system that will provide CustomTacos.com viewers will a plethora of links, all in an organized manner. And, my best friend though this process? You guessed it: OS X. Since I purchased the hosting package with SSH, I was able to SSH into the server and chmod files, use VI to edit my perl scripts and many other geeky things I used to doing when I was back at Radford. And the best part? It's built into the OS..not some crappy 3rd-party telnet program. Very cool. My only problem is that I could not for the life of me remember the command to temporarily put a unix program on "hold" and go do something else and then come back to it. Anybody out there remember or know what this is? It's not cntrl-c or x..it's something different. Help if you can!

And now, I'm tired. And stuff. Good night!

Jeff, I think it was something having to do with pausing/resuming. I remember you hitting a different command to resume. CTRL-SHIFT R? (ctrl and capital R?)

If not, just rm -f my comment here.

None of these look familiar (haven't used them before), but this is all I've found so far.

:!command...........pause vi, execute specified shell command

:!!.................pause vi, execute previous shell command

:sh.................pause vi, start a shell

:!csh ...............pause vi, start a new C-Shell

THAT'S IT I knew it.... FG. It had nothing to do with going back into the task. I remember you explaining that to me, Jeff, back in Tyler.

Nice detective work, Olivia!
