  • Updating An Ubuntu Webserver Using SSH
    I ran updates, upgrades, and dist-upgrade on my remote website server, which is an Ubuntu machine hosted using Amazon web services. I used putty to SSH to it and updated everything using the "command line" (terminal). Oh, and then rebooted at the end.

  • File Transfer From Android To Windows Fails
    I would try to copy files from my Android phone to a folder on my desktop using a cable hooked up from my phone to my Windows computer, but the file transfer kept crashing, and would even freeze up the Explorer task on my computer.

    Okay, this may seem hypocritical coming from someone who occasionally I was a typo in the title of their podcast episode, but even though I make mistakes I can still recognize when others make mistakes and encourage you not to make those same mistakes.

    So I'm going to use Microsoft Excel to compare two spreadsheets that different people gave me to see what's missing between the two and what is not the same on both. I talk about the "if" formula, a lot of copy paste stuff, and subtotalling.
