SSH to the Rescue!

I’m trying to build WebKit on Windows (don’t ask). The instructions are fairly good, but the environment takes forever to setup, the code base is huge, so SVN takes forever to check it out, and finally the build takes quite a long time as well. What started as a “quick” project quickly turned into 5-6 hours of tweaking things on a platform I don’t especially like to begin with.

This morning, it finally looked like I had it all together - but I had to go to work, and didn’t have time to kick off the build process and watch it (hopefully) work. I did have time, however, to setup RDP. But wait, you say, don’t you have to traverse not only one, but two firewalls?

Never fear, SSH is here. Thanks to local port forwarding, I was able to forward an RDP connection to localhost to my box at home and kick off the build… which worked!

More incomprehensible updates soon.

Spent the day moving into my new cube at work. Notice that the main work surface is a standing work area. After reading several articles about “sitting disease”, I decided this might be a good step to take. I’ve decided to leave it this way at least until June. We’ll see how it goes.

After a flurry or work today, my latest bike is done and ready for a test ride. Wish me luck!

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.” — H. P. Lovecraft (from The Call of Cthulhu)
