This was week of major procrastination. The mental block was strong this week and it was difficult to motivate myself. WHY? No idea. When I finally went to the assignments, installed the server, practised vimtutor, checked connectivity. You name it, it worked. No issues, no hiccups, no problems. I did have moments where I excited into Normal mode when trying to insert text in vimtutor and had a partial panic until I figured out I was in normal mode. I still need to practise configuration but anticipate it will not be an issue. As for configuration, never have done it before this week, at least not that I recall. Hmmm, I did install a 2400 baud modem once, that might count. I still do not know how I did it but it worked. As I am used to reading and conducting lab experiments, I think this helps me to follow written instruction accurately and allows me to not have issues with installing servers or doing text editors.
Continuing to read the Stephenson text. He is a fantastic author and I loved the description of the old dial in box that would grab onto the phone and you hoped it would attach correctly. Reminded me of an old B sci fi movie.
