So I almsot trashed my server for finacial reasons, I felt I was not getting enough out of it and had so little cash to play with it was not worth it. WELL the last few days it has proven to be very usefull. I have actively started using it.
#f00f is back ( those of you who were on it and know what I am talking about are already there)
It marked a happy day in my life when it came back. Getting every one back together to use this open way of communication sated the isolation I had been feeling from my Canadian friends. I could write a whole post on the feeling I have when I look up and see text moving across my irc screen – I do not have to even say anything to any one just knowing they are there and talking adds some level of comfort to my life.
On a more practical note, it did something more. It gave me motivation to play with my server.
So far I have learned how to use screen and have installled two seperate irc clients on my server. I have become even more comfortable in terminal. I am slowly but surely starting to see how slow GUI can make things.
Next I am going to try tmux. tmux was recomended by one of my fellow #f00f people. Although no one has ever used it – he just had it recomended to him. So I have apt-get installed tmux and now its time to play!
If my blog disapears its because I broke my server
