in this talk i'll teach the basics of making a website and how to connect with the ucsd server. if you want to have a working website by the end of the week, it will help to (1) talk to saul about getting your login information for the ucsd math servers, (2) have a text editor to make the website (i like notepad++), and (3) have a way to ssh to the math server (i like winscp). to stall for time i'll also talk about other resources that might be of use to a math phd student. other people are more than welcome to contribute ideas in this direction!
