PocketPuTTY works like a charm!!
Now I can manage production servers virtually from everywhere.

On client site, in Bandung yesterday, all I had to do was setup a wireless network with any Windows station1 , get private wireless network working, and that’s it. Accessing main server, mostly RHEL 9 4 and AIX, is a snap.

Of course I never intend to do serious development on WM5. Even though komrad Ikhlasul Amal point me a way to use vi as refactoring tool, I prefer to do it on normal 14” widescreen. I guess I’m not that geek at all :p

However for basic stuffs , WM5 is enough. With given appropriate privilege, I can start/stop application server. Inspect log report. Make any fix, grep/apply a patch on it, and recompile if necessary.

That’s why I never get myself string attached with any IDE. Because in such situation, all we got is just plain-old console and buildr (previously I was using Ant).

The only culprit in pocketPuTTY is several characters don’t work nicely with on screen keyboard. So I have to use external keyboard to do some stuffs. Well, I think it’s a good trade-off. For a man who fighting the weight of the world everyday, not bringing 4 pounds notebook is surely a relieving lift on shoulder.

1 Too bad, WM5’s support in SynCE is still under development. I can’t manage to get bleeding-edge SynCE working either. Oh boy.

    Uh...tapi vi + putty buat remote admin itu powerfull banget loh. Sayang gw belom pernah nyoba PocketPuTTY ini, bukan karena males nyoba, tapi lebih kepada kendala dari sisi hardware (I don't have that thing you called PDA anymore ;p )
