Remote Development

The weather is getting colder.  I expect snow in a few weeks, so my usual development location for CNC code is going to become less pleasant.  Solution: VMware running the same development environment in my office: emacs, make, ddd.  FileZilla lets me move files back and forth painlessly, and unlike the small (1024x768 resolution) and not very sharp laptop, now I can use 1900x1200 on a big monitor.

One reader found this incomprehensible, starting at the computer geek section.


I am going to try TeamViewer and UltraVNC for remote execution.

  1. I generally don't say anything but this post is only completely understandable up to word 12 and is completely incomprehensible after about word 25 . . .
    (Sorry, but the prospect of not President Clinton has caused me to open the good bourbon. I will show more restraint.)

  2. Consider acquiring some heated clothing. Motorcycle gear comses to mind. Electrically heated pants or chaps, along with vests or jackets with or without collars, and boot/shoe liners. Gloves also.

  3. Windy: basically where the computer jargon starts. I will put geek warnings in the future.

  5. Rick C: The mill is controlled by a box that attaches to a Centronics parallel port. Linux is used because there are real-time constraints so remote control not possible.
