Ooh! And I tried walking my mom through the process of getting the Linux box at home on the Net and ssh'able – they turned it off last night and I'd forgotten to tell it to automatically run ssh and ddclient. I love my mom. It takes a really special mom to have to deal with all of those cryptic Linux commands…

I hadn't quite gotten it to work – guess I forgot something pretty major – but hey, it was really wonderful of her to try.

I can't wait to actually get it working. =)

I'm actually tempted to set up one of those shared screen things….

So tough luck, guys, I win the coolest mom contest. ;)

Special thanks go to my parents, who have been incredibly supportive not just during this time of crisis but all throughout my life. =)
