One of the cool things about helping out with the 2006 Marin Century / Mt. Tam Double is that with so many of my volunteer efforts I'm helping out people who aren't as on the ball as I am, whereas on this project the other folks putting this on are really sharp.
But... one of my other projects... A friend of a friend is doing a web page for the friend's business, and friend of a friend has called me a few times for assistance. So a few days ago we went through the process of using PuTTY's pscp to upload the site to a server, and she took fantastic notes, but one thing on her Windows box wasn't configured well. So yesterday we re-convene, go back through the process, and at one point she's reading off what she's doing from her notes and I realize that...
When she wrote down the thing to type in, she'd used an underscore to note that there had to be a space there. Now, when she typed it back in, she was typing in the underscores.
However, once we got over that, things went swimmingly.
