Ruthy is here for a bit and has brought me Dad's iPad to play with. Huzzah for net surfing without going blind. Do any of you have one of these? I'm looking into remote desktop apps because i'm just bored stupid (and broke) enough to really want to do work and any and all recommendations are welcome.
Dad continues to make progress. I've spent most of today nagging him to eat, take his supplements, and do the exercises the PT recommended. They are talking about moving him to the rehab wing as soon as tomorrow. I'm here for another night with him, which I find I don't really mind; I'm not 100% myself I'm finding and curling up in a corner of Dad's room with the net and a book is about my speed. But yeah I went for a little walk along central park a little while ago and just that much wore me out, though the air was nice.
I don't know. Other than being kinda tired and somewhat cranky in the intestines, I'm more or less okay. What with Dad being asleep a lot I've spent a bit of time thinking about various and sundry... Not bad, just gently poking the badgers and seeing how they respond.

Date: 2011-01-20 10:35 pm (UTC)From:I have an iPad, which I love dearly! I am using the built in VPN client that's configurable under network settings. One thing I ran into is that if all you have is a PCF file for a Cisco VPN client, you may have to unscramble the cryptoed group password. Fortunately this is possible: http://coreygilmore.com/projects/decrypt-cisco-vpn-password/ . If you're using a Microsoft style VPN like PPTP, it looks like you can set that up in the VPN configuration screen too.
For Remote Desktop, I am currently using iTap RDP. It's pretty good, definitely better than others. It's hard to visualize how to do keyboarding in a way that is going to generate a good RDP experience short of plugging in a keyboard to the iPad.
There is another app called Textastic which is a tool aimed at simple development work. It's not great, but it's the best I've found so far. I think they did the file transfer mechanism the wrong way around personally, Number and Pages can access remote WebDAV sites, why can't this?
