I changed the name of this blog to chmod 311 because I think it suites the blog and my life in general well. For those of you who have never had to change file permissions on a Unix-based system, chmod is a command that alters read/write/execute permissions of a file according to the user, group, and the rest of the world. The basic system for changing permissions is based on numbers. 1 represents read permissions, 2 represents write permissions, and 4 represents execute permissions.
Most of the files I deal with, including many of the files on my harddrive can be read and written by me and can be seen by the whole world. In this way I can share many different files and allow others to use them yet keep people from changing those files on my computer. (This is how it works on most p2p clients)

| user | group | everyone | |
| read | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| write | 2 | 2 | 3 |
| execute | 4 | 4 | 4 |
