Centos and Aikido

This morning I spent most of my time getting a Centos Linux server up and running at work. My Linux server skills are rusty but are coming back. I am excited because I'll be able to explore DSpace on this box and I plan on installing Turbogears as well and try to migrate my Serials usage, Federal Government Documents, and Colorado Government Documents applications to this server. Much to do.

Last night at Aikido, Jake and I practiced by ourselves (no surprise as the beginner on Monday did not come back)

Here are the techniques we practiced:

• Tsuski Shihonage omote and ura. The first variation was the basic style I was taught, with a step-back at the beginning for nage. The second variation was an irmi step-in and then a hip pivot for omote and ura.
• Tsuski Ikkyo omote and ura. Stayed with the step-back opening at the same time cutting down with outside hand for both omote and ura.
• Yokomenuchi Shihonage omote and ura.
• Ushiro Tekubitori Kotegaeshi (2 variations), we practiced this technique from a static start. The first variation was the lean/step forward kotegaeshi, the second variation was the "airplane" technique of stepping foward and then cutting back with the outside arm. I haven't practiced this style since I practiced in Urbana. I don't think I remembered the technique correctly. I'll have to look around on the internet to see if there are any examples out there.
  
• Suwari waza Ikkyo omote and ura
