London – early morning

by | May 14, 2005 | evilzenscientist, travel, Uncategorized

I went out late with Alan and got the night bus back.

It’s amazing how alive London feels at 4am – the sun is starting to rise; the sky is lightening; people are still on the streets – either returning home or heading to work.

The one thing that struck me that was different from home in Utah was the ‘dawn chorus’ – just so many birds singing and contending for their own piece of space. There are certainly many birds at home; but they just don’t seem to sing their hearts out when the sun comes up.

That’s enough from early-morning London..

GroupWise client killer

by | May 13, 2005 | evilzenscientist, Uncategorized

My GroupWise client on the Novell Linux Desktop sometimes hangs – so I made a dirty little script to kill it. (Should be two lines of text in total for the script)

#!/bin/sh
ps ax|grep [b]in/groupwise|grep -v .sh|xargs –max-args=1|sed 1q|xargs kill -9

Paste this into a text file – say gwkill.sh; make it executable chmod +x gwkill.sh; maybe make a launcher shortcut on your toolbar.

Did this work for you?
