random geek tips to myself
a few quick notes to myself about today
* jave is a funny java application which allows mere mortals to create ascii art and figlet formatted text. pretty cool.
* lyX is a wyswg latex editor.
* to configure os X to allow ssh connections to forward X11 packets, be sure to edit /etc/sshd_conf and allow X11 forwarding (duh!)
* if your fink installation complains about X11, you should install the developer CD X11 libs.
* if your fink installation continues to complain about X11 try sudo dpkg -r --force-all system-xfree86 system-xfree86-42 system-xfree86-43:
* recursively getting files with wget wget -r -np (thats no parent, thats crucial) --http-username --http-password
