Reiley – December 2010, originally uploaded by seyDoggy.

This is my 13 year old son who’s become quite the guitar player (considering his age). Better then me by the time I was 18 anyhow. Here he is playing my guitar. He keeps hinting to me how much he likes it. Nu-uh, I don’t think so buddy-boy.

This is my ’57 replica, circa ’83 with Texas Special pickups and a gold anodized pickgard. Well played, well loved.

So today is the first official day of the kids Christmas Holidays. Looking forward to some relaxing family time. I go pick up my son from the airport tomorrow. We have a Christmas dinner afterwards. We have family coming on Monday. Shopping on Tuesday. Play date on Wednesday and Thursday. Party on Friday, Christmas on Saturday. Drop son off on Sunday…

Did I say relaxing?

Another little tidbit of info… when your scp transfer fails, you’re going to need to use rsync instead.

Today I was tyring to transfer a huge file over a ssh connection. Everything was working fine, but at 94% the connection stalled and the transfer has been interrupted. $#!”&%, I thought, but luckily joen.dk helped me a lot!

If you need to resume an scp transfer, try with rsync:

rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh user@host:remote_file local_file

via Resume a large scp transfer « Yes, yet another blog….

Here is an interesting little tidbit of ssh goodness that I’ll never remember unless I write it down here…

When using ssh scp to recursively copy directories with spaces in their name, you will get the error scp: ambiguous target even if you escape the spaces. For example, this will fail:

scp -r ~/Movies/Doctor\ Who adam@fileserver:/Movies/Doctor\ Who

However, if you use both back slash escapes and double quotes after the colon then scp will work just fine. Like so:

scp -r ~/Movies/Doctor\ Who adam@fileserver:"/Movies/Doctor\ Who"

So now you know.

We have been waiting for this talk on typography from @mdenny for a long time. Clearly the wait was worth it. This is @mdenny at #kwdm on Wednesday, December 1, 2010. Enjoy! (and feel free to share/embed/remix this video)
