Setting up

I’m still in the Submarine Officer Basic Course, but my wife has setup things at my home at my duty station so my computer is finally on the Internet again, which means I can continue making periodic updates to my weblog.

Sub School itself has been a pretty good time, we learn about how to do the things that Congress actually pays money for these submarines for, as opposed to the first year of my training where we learned how to ensure that the submarine always has propulsion.

I’ve seen UNIX a few times up here, so that was cool, especially everytime the instructor had to warn us about something that would typically turn out to be due to the Motif interface in use. The other students seem to really appreciate the power of virtual desktops however. The computer I’m using now still uses Windows, which is annoying, but at least it plays games better I suppose. :-)
