Make SSH/scp simpler

Want to be able to login remotely by simply typing username@computername, or scp without the whole server extension (sage.wisc.edu)?

It's pretty simple to do. On a Mac, go to Preferences>Network Preferences>Advanced>DNS tab

Under search domains put "sage.wisc.edu." Now whenever you ssh, scp etc, the terminal will automatically look for it on the sage server so you don't have to type it in. If the computer is on another server (eg. aos.wisc.edu), you'll still have to type in the full path.

Geospatial Methods website

Hi everyone,

I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago at the group meeting and figured I would share it on here. It's a useful website that contains some code/libraries for geospatial methods. It's largely focused on satellite data, but there are a lot of useful tidbits here that cut across everyone's work.
