If you have the time to write a three paragraph rant on why my suggestion doesn’t work, the least you could do is include the error message…

"Choose Your Own Adventure" On Your iPhone -

I spent countless hours with “Choose Your Own Adventure” books. Of course, many of those hours were spent mapping out the decision tree and finding easter eggs in the books… it’s entirely likely that these books are the reason why I never had any problems with trees in my data structures class.

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.
