======UNIX/Linux Fundamentals Journal====== ====August 28, 2013==== == irrsi == * Today we set up irssi in a screen session. * I don't normally use CLI IRC clients, so it was a new experience to me. * I am still in the part of the course that is simply reinforcing or going over properly what I'm already comfortable with. * So far, nothing has been very challenging because of my past knowledge/experience. I suspect that will change soon. ====September 6, 2013==== == The file system == * In today's class we explored the file system and how to navigate through it. * While I'm very comfortable navigating around and dealing with files, I've never taken the time to learn exactly what should go where, or what all the abbreviations mean. * So far, I'm doing pretty well, this is clearly the class for me and I'm sure I'll be enjoying it a lot. * Nothing particularly challenging yet, but we're now starting to get outside the realm of my comfort zone with redirection and more advanced tricks. ====September 11, 2013==== == Vim == * Today we learned how to use vim * It was an interesting experience, having used nano for a couple years it's very difficult to switch to something else, but I'll give it a shot. * We briefly touched on shell scripting today, which is not something I am very comfortable with yet. * The Opus is definitely the hardest part of the class, not because it's "hard", but because I just don't know what to write about sometimes. ====September 18, 2013==== == Foreground and Background Processes == * In today's class we explored processes and how background and foreground processes work. * I've never really played with jobs, fg, and bg before, so today was something entirely new. * Nothing too confusing about processes, they're something I'm pretty comfortable with. * The labs are very hard to write comments about, but I'll try my best. ====September 20, 2013==== * What action or concept of significance, as related to the course, did you experience on this date? * Why was this significant? * What concepts are you dealing with that may not make perfect sense? * What challenges are you facing with respect to the course? ======UNIX/Linux Fundamentals Labs====== ====Lab 0x4====
