xiffy's blog

Vrijdag eindelijk weer eens naar de film geweest, de donkere dagen en IDFA voor de deur, en dan is het nog maar even voordat het IFFR weer losbarst. Dus het bioscoopbloed begint weer langzaam te pompen.
Een blik op het lijstje films wat we konden gaan zien maakte de keuze eenvoudig, Terribly happy zou het worden. Dit Deense staaltje filmkunst had onze aandacht al via de krantenrecensies weten te wekken.

Today i learned how one can detach a running process on linux or unix from the terminal. I know that you can do this on purpose by putting a ampersand: & behind the command. But that was not the question. You see i had a process running at 17:00 hours and it would take another hour before it was done. I wanted to go home before 18:00 yet i did not want to interrupt the process because it should finish. So CTRL-C was not an option.
But you can tell linux to detach the process from the terminal, you just do this simple steps

• CTRL-Z (no this will not harm the process)
• bg n

Where n is the job number that linux returns after you hit CTRL-Z. Linux will continue the process in the background (bg) and you can close the terminal session.

Today some riding along the river. Just at the end i remembered i had to shoot a video.

This is the colour and in black the sticker which i ordered and i hope will be good enough to fix it on the frame.
september 2009: the bike is finished and it's awesome. I just 'bought' this colour and dubbed it 'xiffy brick
