Open Source Legal Systems Project is Go!

Faced with a monumental list of to-dos, I'm moving ahead with some open source projects.  I'll be randomly posting tidbits along the way.

Tonights check-offs:

1. Learn a bit about VI - just enough to get by in editing various .conf files.  Thanks to Unix Manuals.
2. Set up directories on the Ubuntu Testbox with a refresher on CHMOD.

Immediate to-dos (the tip of the tip of the iceberg)

1. Resolve remote connection issues for MySQL - I'll need this on a cloud instance and maybe just go ahead and provision that now rather than mucking around on the tester.  If phpmyadmin is the way to go perhaps I should just go there rather than MySQL workbench (though I love the GUI).
2. Resolve FTP access and config issues on the tester or skip right to the cloud on that as well.  Need to be able to reach out with Netbeans and the other assorted tools.

It may be time to start spending money.  Happily EC2 is remarkably affordable.  Need to look a Google's cloud offering as well.
