While installing Linux on a new 1U server for a customer, I managed to play around
with our new MegaRAC®
K1, a rather neat KVM that works over TCP/IP. While it can be
hooked up to a Linux system, the remote display software only works under
Windows (of course, and IE—it
demands IE). Annoying, but not
too much of an issue, since I do have rdesktop installed on my Linux
workstation at the Office.
So just because I can, at home I logged into my workstation at The
Office. Since X Windows
has had a remote desktop feature since it was first written way back in the
mid-80s, it's easy enough for me to run rdesktop there and have
it displayed on my computer at home (the Mac mini). Then, logging into the
Windows system at The Office, I'm able to run the MegaRAC® K1 program
to get to the console of the new server.
A remote
desktop to my workstation, which has a remote desktop to the Windows box,
which has a remote desktop to the new Unix server.
Just because I can (and yes, it's as slow as it sounds).
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
