Baby steps! (If you don't understand anything in this post don't worry -- it's me, not you. s-sob.)

Well. At least I know I still can find my way in these SSH/telnet sessions.

It's all thanks to nestrez who drilled most of what I know into my head when I started my Old Job years ago. To be perfectly honest, I wasn't really qualified to do what I was doing, but she was patient enough and I made mistakes enough to learn things (almost killed a server dead once, omg).


Hey look I still remember how to grep stuff!


. . . Oh god I've forgotten how you quit Vim.

Oh. It's :q. Brilliant. Seems like my memory still works.



If I don't return, assume I've been sucked in by code.

Wheee UNIX and coding! :) I guess you've gotten sucked into DW?

At least you probably never changed the permissions on all the directories so a single user owned everything? (Someone at my site did that once, oops.)

If "getting sucked" is equivalent to "wandering around and changing random things and seeing whether they work", then yes. ;) Still haven't attempted any real coding, though.

All the directories? Wow. At least I only, uh, recursively deleted a directory from the server. Had a backup, but wasn't current enough, so had to apply a few patches to bring it up to date again. ^^; I felt really stupid after that.
