Today I found a new color scheme while playing around the settings on my sublime text.
The theme is called Ayu.
It looks so slick and soothing so just want to share it.
Now I am debating whether I should switch my vim color scheme from Tomorrow-Night to Ayu.

Wow! A turn of an eye, and it has been almost 2 months since I touched this blog.
It took me around 3 months to finally sit down at my desk and focus some time on this blog.
There was a bug with the theme I use for website and finding the solution was failing road. The bug was the post URLs are broken and cannot be referenced.
Today (May 10, 2017) I finally found the solution to the bug. Guess where I found the issue? The theme’s github issue page. LOL, I should have visited that page much earlier. For those interetested here’s the link to the bug.
This issue turned out to be a extra character in one of the source files which lead to the post URLs display incorrectly.
Now, after fixing this bug, I have found more confidence in continuing this site. So, yay.
As always,
Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed it!

Hello! This is my real first post. And today, I want to talk about ssh keys.
As a lazy Computer Science student that is too lazy to go to our school’s computer labs to do HW but still want to graduate and pass the class, I found a way.
I can ‘ssh’ into our school’s computer labs, and do my programming assignments on my computer thru ‘ssh’ as if I was actually doing my programming assignments on the acutal lab computers.
What is ssh?
So first, What is ‘ssh’?
SSH stands for Secure Shell. And what does that mean? tbh, it’s not important.
What is important is that it lets you connect to a ‘server’ or ‘computer’ via your own terminal, given that you know the server’s ip address. (Oh, also, you seem to need to have an account on that server as well)
For example, if I have a server with a ip address ‘192.168.0.1’, with an account of username jeff, and password wu, I can type
and this will try to connect my computer to the server with the account name ‘jeff’. Now, if successful, a prompt for password will show up. Now if I type wu and press enter, I would be logged in to the server with that account.
Cool?
Yea, I know.
This is awesome, and the solution to how I have studied computer science at UCSD for 3 years now, but only been to the computer labs less than 10 times.
“Three years you say?”, you may ask, “That’s right!”, I’ll say.
“That must been thousands of times you have to ssh to the server, and each time you connect, you gotta type in the account and password?? What a bump man.” you will then say ofc.
“Yea! Exactly! Being an engineer that is born to solve problems, obviously I have a solution to that!”
“What could that possibly be????” you will then ask.
SSH key mah friend!
Ha! What does that do?
Well, my friend, it types in the password for you!
Whoa, yea, I know.
ok, lets get down to business. Lets learn how to set this up.
BTW, I decided to write on ssh keys today because of this youtube video I saw on RSA-129. The man behind the encoding scheme of this ssh thing, apparently.
Bleh, I was gonna write how to do this, but a google search came up with so many good guides. So why reinvent the wheel when you can reuse one?
So, here you go guys!

Hi! This is the first post I will make with Jeykl!
I am gonna start this blog writting about what I do.
Not sure what to write for now, but it has taken me so much time getting to setup and really use this jekyll thing. Hopefully it will be worth the effort.
