Ongoing To-do List:
• Create color maps of .inr files from REAL data
Today I did a lot of reading in anticipation of getting a Yellowstone account. Much of it didn't apply to what I'll be doing, but here are some of the links:

Authentication:
These guys are very serious about security; they're actually FedExing me a usb dongle called a YubiKey that I'll use each time I login. Looks like I can SSH there normally:
ssh -X -l username yellowstone.ucar.edu
But then I need to insert the YubiKey, then type my pin, then press the button on the YubiKey.

File Transfers:
Hopefully SFTP will be sufficient, but it would be good for me to learn some other file transfer methods. In any event, they recommend SFTP for when you need to transfer fewer than 1,000 files totaling less than 200 megabytes. We'll see what I end up needing.

Acknowledgment
They have some precise ways they want to be acknowledged in scientific publications, and they want research results shared with them. I'm not sure exactly how that'll apply to us, since we're mostly using Yellowstone to transfer over files. I will need to run a few little fortran programs and python scripts on there too.
