The SSH redirect is pretty snazzy given you have the right permissions to use SSH or rlogin In some of my work, I’ve been limited to telnet due to security protocols (don’t ask) and found I had to write scripts using the “expect” language to automatically login and pass back and forth remote commands. You could spend weeks trying to learn various redirection methods!

I use WordPress as well, easy to maintain and have enough features to fill my geek like desires. (=

I had a few reasons:

1. I didn’t have enough space on my server for all my laptop data uncompressed but I did have enough if it was compressed.
2. I am not that familiar with rsync (hence all my following reasons).
3. I wasn’t sure how permissions and special files would be preserved.
4. In my experience, transferring many small files goes much much slower than transferring one large file. I thought rsync might do this.

I have a feeling these reasons would be invalid or could be worked around, but I wasn’t as confident with rsync as I was with io redirection and tar/ssh.

The progress detail would have been helpful. Those commands give no indication of progress so I would have to check file size / disk usage.

This is some fun io redirection for sure, but I’m curious why you threw out rsync? Rsync was basically designed for just this sort of task. rsync -uavP -e ssh (src) (dst) where src could be /mnt/sda3 and dst could be user@server:/home/user/backupPath. It allows resuming interrupted transfers and gives great progress detail, etc.

Comment on Where to Simulate Behavior by Joe

I think the role of memory is very important. I think memory is what stores the state of the system. For instance, when simulating a ball bouncing, memory stores the environmental boundaries (floor, walls, ceiling, etc) and the state of the ball (position, velocity, direction, etc). And when simulating the human brain, memory plays a more complicated role.

Hi Joe! What role, if any, do you see memory taking in simulating behavior?

Thanks Morgan! It would be a fun project to work on, but my time is a river that has dried up due ecological effects which have been directly linked to the increasing demand of my resources. But I am working on being more “green” in an effort to reverse these effects.

This is a great idea! Get it to work and you could rival P2P as the top bandwidth hog!

I've done a bit of recording on computers (Cakewalk Sonar) so let me know if I can help at all.

Good Luck

Morgan
