How to Kill Processes via the Terminal
Aug 26th
I’ve ran into this issue, from time to time, where I can’t access my graphical system monitoring tool (System Monitor) to kill processes. Luckily at that time I do have access to Terminal. The next question is, “Well; how do I view the processes running and how do I kill them?” Good question (I sound like a schizophrenic), let me tell you how to view your active processes, all processes, and how to MDK (murder death kill; Demolition Man reference) them.
Mech Wars, coming soon!
Jun 19th
This robot stuff is getting more and more freaky. I got this link from one of my rss feeds. Check out Robot Dreams for more information. I’m telling you, when the Mech wars start – Japan will come crashing down on the US. We’ll probably have armored soldiers, but they’ll have pilotless machines killing our fellas. Come on, US, step up the the 22nd century.
Flock
Jun 17th
What is Flock? I don’t know… ha-ha. Seriously; I’m not too clear, but I found it on my RSS feed today from LinuxInsider. So far it looks great. It’s a web browser targeted to users of social networks, heh – that’s me! You can have a side tab with your friends from different networks and you can even click n drag pictures to them to quickly share. Sounds like fun. It’s based on Firefox (win win) so I’ll try it when I get home.
You can find more information from Flock’s web site.
Using Linux to Order Pizza!
Jun 13th
I saw this on a post from Fresh Ubuntu podcast. You gotta love linux programmers. I’m a big fan of ordering pizza online. The problem is the closest Dominos, in my area, keeps screwing up the orders. Besides that – this video is awesome and I’m going to install it just to try it out.
Here’s the site to download the application: www.beigerecords.com/cory/pizza_party/
Whatcha’ Say!?
