Be familiar with all background reading up until this point.

Read the Preface and chapter I.1 Philosophy of The Art of Unix Programming. Pick two nuggets that jump out at you and blog about them. These could either be things that spark your interest, or that you don’t quite understand. Be sure to include a cited quote for each nugget. How do you hope to explore these interests in this class?

Submit your feed url:

• If you are not already, get in the #ece2524 IRC channel.

• Send a private message to RoboRitchie to tell him your PID

  Where pid is your Virginia Tech PID.

• Switch to the buffer containing the private chat with RoboRitchie to check for any errors.

• Tell RoboRitchie to add your feed url

  /msg RoboRitchie add feed feed_url
  

  Where feed_url is a working URL to a page on your blog, or an RSS/Atom feed.

You will only have to do this once. After this any new posts you write will be pulled from the existing feed.
