Boston

I expect to have limited network access for the next week while I'm in Boston studying. Here's an entry with comments screened: if there's anything you want me to know while I'm up there, feel free to drop a note here. That way I have two chances to notice it (LJ and email).

Note for nefarious sorts: Dani's not coming with me. I wouldn't post a public "hey, our house is going to be unattended" notice. :-)

Data point: it took no more than 15 minutes from the time Dani dropped me off until the time I was at the air-side concourse. (No need to go to the gate just yet; I was thirsty so I'm taking advantage of QDoba's table space for a few minutes.)

My shell provider replaced my host machine a few weeks ago, which changed the SSH certificate. On my home machine, I simply had to acknowledge that this was ok the next time I tried to connect. Using the standard client that comes with Mac OS 10, I was denied access due to the security risk. A few quality RTFM moments told me what I had to do to re-authorize the site. I was initially a bit annoyed but quickly came to realize that this is probably the better approach. How many people blindly click "ok" to prompts they don't understand? I don't think I mind my laptop, which could find itself on who knows whose rogue network, being a little more aggressive.
