trials and tribulations

This week was a reminder to stay focused and humble. Previous assignments in Ubuntu like the downloads have gone well for me and have been without significant problems. This time, because of personal plans over the weekend, I have been running late and have had problems with both Ubuntu and the sandbox. Help from the activity discussion board has been great and I remain deeply impressed with how timely Professor Fulton has been (really, not in a smarmy way but in a thank-goodness-he-is-around-and-patient-or-I-would-freak way). And boy do I love the snapshot feature! Once in, however, I felt that this week’s topic of user and group creation and permissions made more intuitive sense than previous topics have and I felt fairly confident moving around in the CLI. I also had a big mistake with the sandbox by powering it down when I shouldn’t have. Which I will never do again and which has permanently impressed upon me what the differences are for the two. Which is a good thing.


ETA: have just tried to re-do something from the assignments and it is not working again. Which is not a good thing
