Correction for podcast 18
I mis-spoke when describing how to detach and later reattach to a screen session. In podcast 18 I said that the command to reattach to a named detached screen session was:

screen -a name_of_detached_session

This was not correct, the command should have been:

screen -x name_of_detached_session

Here is an example of how to do it (assumming a session name of neo):

login to remote computer then issue the command:

screen -S neo

issue some command that will take a really long time to run:

wget --quiet url_for_a_file_that_will_take_a_long_time_to_download

next hit CTRL-a d (that is hold down the control key while depressing the a key, release then press the d key) this will detach your screen session named neo.

Log out of the remote shell

Log back in later and issue the command:

screen -x neo and you will be logged back in (reattached) to the shell where you issued the wget command from earlier.
