VIM on the Mac OSX Terminal

I've been playing with hostfiles on my MacBook Pro this morning.

He's how I did it...

1. Search for Terminal in Spotlight;

2. Run >cd /etc

3. >sudo vi hosts

4. To enter edit mode, hit "esc" then i.

5. Do what you need to do;

6. Hit "esc"

7. Hit : , w , q . This saves and closes the file.

8. Quit Terminal

Back from Uganda

Well, I'm now back on the grid in the UK.

Got back from Uganda after a 24 hour trip involving a coach, a car, a van, a 4x4, 2 planes and a motor boat!

Uganda is an amazing place. The people are very friendly and the landscape is great fodder for an SLR!

I had some amazing opportunities whilst I was out there with 43 people from my church. We went to preach in churches and made lots of great friends. We also managed to fit in a childrens mission day which saw around 7000 kids in one place. It was an awesome site!

All in all, it was a life changing experience.

Sametime Version Info

I needed to find the version level of one of my Sametime servers.

So I went on a hunt and discovered there is a buildinfo.txt file on the server that can be viewed through a web browser:

"http://?serverhostname?/sametime/buidinfo.txt"

My First Post

I'm intending to use this place to share tips, need-to-knows and stuff that you really want to know how to do but can't find out how to do it.

I would like to single out TimsterC and David_Hay for helping me get this blog off the ground.
