Reign Drops Fall... » willow creek http://www.reigndropsfall.net Ramblings from a hacker in Iowa Wed, 07 Jul 2010 19:02:52 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Weirdness http://www.reigndropsfall.net/2005/06/16/weirdness/ http://www.reigndropsfall.net/2005/06/16/weirdness/#comments Thu, 16 Jun 2005 22:52:19 +0000 Bryan Forbes As I wrote before, I’m at the Willow Creek Arts Conference… there are a couple of things I can’t do on their network:

  • IRC: this I can see why since they probably want their employees to focus on work
  • SSH: port 22 seems to be blocked which means I can’t port forward around the IRC block.
  • Update my time using NTP: it seems they block the incoming ntp packets… no clue why they do that…

Other than those anomalies, I’m thoroughly enjoying the conference!

This week, I’m taking a break from Coaster development and I’m at an arts conference at Willow Creek in Chicago. So far, it’s been fun… plus, they have wireless access all over the church. The only problem with that is that they have the IRC ports blocked. I can access all websites and my email and such, but no IRC’ing while at the conference. If you see me online, it’s late at night at the hotel and I’m using OSX.

Speaking of OSX, I’d like to thank Mikael Hallendal for his list of OSX programs he uses. I hadn’t heard of some of them, and I’m glad he pointed them out. I’m now using Desktop Manager, QuickSilver (from a comment on that entry), and Colloquy (which is quite a slick irc program). It’s nice to have multiple desktops in OSX, and QuickSilver is a nice alternative to having all your frequently used programs in the dock. Why don’t we have something like that for GNOME?

Anyway, I’ll get back to hacking this weekend, but for now, I’m having fun hanging out with 5,000 other artists.
