Mindterm is nice

I've discovered a handy Java ssh client that gets around the crippling of the personal-use Internet terminals here at Worldcom. It'll even open a terminal in a separate window, so I can browse the web or update my LJ at the same time as I'm on-line. Best of all, it's available as a Debian package, so installing it was as easy as an quick apt-get.

In class right now, we're learning about KnowledgeBase and Sherlock, which are a couple of specialized WWW intranet tools that contain all the information we need to know about MCI issues. They look really complicated, but I expect that by the end of the four week period I'll know much of what there is to know about them.

Break's just about over; better get back.

Sherlock!?

MCI users OS X?

users = uses

I found you via slashdot. Can I add you to my friends list?

[robotech-master.livejournal.com]

Sure. Your friends list is your own; I don't have any power over whether you do or do not add me, and don't see any point complaining about whether someone I don't know adds me to his list. It's a public website; do as you will.

Some people get real weird if you add them and don't tell them. I've had some bad experiences in the past, so I always ask first.

I'm also glad to see someone else on slashdot who users LJ.

Whereas I probably wouldn't want to friend someone who would object to me doing it...so I guess it all works out. :) Its a public website...folks can do what they will.

Not so far as I can tell. "Sherlock" is the name for the the MCI customer service bulletin intranet website, where recent bulletins are posted and older ones can be looked up.

Ok. I thought the anwser might be more exciting than that.
