You obviously could just connect the mac computers together via ssh if they were reachable from each other. In this case they are not and there is a linux comp in between. between the client mac and the target mac. Tunneling screen sharing over ssh also makes it secure.

From your terminal on the mac you will be connecting from. I was missing this part before and therefore it was not working.

sudo defaults write com.apple.ScreenSharing skipLocalAddressCheck -boolean YES

From client mac connect to linux server and map your port 6900 to its 5900. Really you could use any ports you want just make sure that you use them in the next command too.
ssh -p 22 -L 6900:127.0.0.1:5900 user@linuxserver

From linux server connect to target mac that you want to view mapping its port 5900 to the mac port 5900. The first port is whatever the second port was above. The last 5900 needs to be that as the mac runs its dekstop screen sharing over port 5900.

ssh -L 5900:127.0.0.1:5900 user@targetmac

From there mac you want to view the other mac on, open the finder's menu and select go - connect to server.

enter address as your localhost and whatever port you chose as the first one in the first ssh command

vnc://127.0.0.1:6900

hit connect

login with the account for the targetmac

from view menu select the display you want to view. From there you should see and be able to control the target mac.

Got it. Its cool that it free not sure why I needed it but I got it now.


The 3d maps are pretty cool except for my neighbors house which is some sort of weird tree castle.

Its starting to be a joke. At least it feels that way. I can't believe someone thought the way the threshold was made would be acceptable. I actually feel insulted that they thought we wouldn't notice or care.

The drop is even more obvious now with the threshold in place.



You can see how far the left side (right side of picture as its taken from inside the shower)


Here is the right side which is good an normal height like the other two corners.



Here is the fucked up one. Look at the difference in height.



Just look how much shit they had to shove in there to try and cover up the drop that will definitely cause water to pool there.



They tried to use a 1/2 caulk to make this work. Well caulk and some wood and a piece of cement board. It looks insane. Instead of having concrete on stone flush like the other side there is all this other material that will surely degrade at different rates and separate causing space for mold to get trapped etc.



The threshold even overhangs by 1/2 inch on both sides which is a major tripping hazard. This is especially frustrating because the guy specifically told me to buy 6inch wide threshold which was extra cost and now not only looks like shit but is a major tripping hazzard. I would have just bought 5inch if he had told me to.



Even the ceiling fan is crooked. Its like these people have never seen a right angle before.

Poor guy had to move into the basement for a while. With (e:xandra) in the orange room and (e:terry), (e:Joe) and I in the blue room. Both of the other rooms are off limits due to the bathroom construction.

The only remaining options were the red room in the attic or the basement. I tried the red room in the attic for a bit but its so full of tools and far away from kitchen, water, etc.

Having him in the same room as the water heater should also keep it warmer compared to the attic. My only concern is him making the laundry area smell bad.

We gave him a bath today so that's a good start at least. It took all three of us to get him clean as he hated being hosed down.

We went to a techno roller skating party last night at rainbow rink in north tonawanda. It was awesome. The DJs were great and roller skating was way more fun than I rememberrd . It was almost like flying. At first I thought I wouldn't be able to do it but after a couple minutes I was confident enough to dance and skate at the same time. I skated for about an hour and a half but then had to quit because I started to get blisters from the skates.

I want to own a roller skating rink.
