The mosh shell and LMDE 13

Installing mosh on LMDE 13

As an alternative to Ubuntu Precise Pangolin the speedy Linux Mint Debian Edition 13 is a very worthy distribution. A fantastic installation process is supplemented by a clean desktop that screams attention to detail. Even in a VM environment it's so quick to respond that it's become my primary personal development box.

These are some quick notes to help you install the mosh mobile shell. An alternative secure remote shell. It's the perfect companion for those times that you are remotely logged in via an unreliable connection.
  • sudo apt-get install git libncurses5-dev automake zlib1g-dev protobuf-compiler libprotoc-dev libprotobuf-dev libutempter-dev libio-pty-perl
Then just follow the instructions for "Compiling from Git" at http://mosh.mit.edu/. 
$ git clone https://github.com/keithw/mosh
$ cd mosh
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
# make install

... and that's all it takes to have a working mosh shell.

OrgMode - First Impressions

  As many have found before me, orgmode  in Emacs  is an extremely useful tool. I've come late to the game but after two weeks of daily use I can comfortably say that I'm quite sorry that I didn't make this a part of my development toolkit a long time ago. The main value it brings to my daily routine is ease of use. It's a great note taking, time logging, and general organization tool. Publishing solutions for several targets is built in. Specifically the HTML and Open Office targets are extremely solid. Considering the lack of issues I've encountered thus far I hold high hopes for the return on investment of my time once I go deeper into this tool. Currently experimenting on building a process for publishing a few of my hobby static sites as org mode pages.

To blogger, or to 360 ... hmmm.          So I finally got around to trying out the interface for Yahoo360.  This began as a trip to the Apple  website looking at the prices for the MacBook ... then migrated to MacBook Pro 17" ( wow ) ... then looked at the iMac 20" edition. During that time I couldn't fail but notice the .Mac adds subtle and not so subtle placed everywhere I went.  So I took a look at that, and well it does provide a very integrated experience that one could easily jump into, and not spend much time trying to get used to things.  Mostly because it is extremely well tied together for Mac owners, ergo the brand .Mac! As I perused the site I considered the costs involved, and the fact that no one I knew would be willing to pay $100 U.S. ( or more ) per year for this service.  I began to think of what alternatives are available. So here I am utilizing the very mature, and rock solid Blogger.  I will (B)log my progress here, and maybe in a year or two as I kee
