As a follow up to the previous tip on getting notified. What do you do when you have an already running process that you would like have notify you when it completes?
So you kicked off this update that was only supposed to take a few minutes but now an hour later it is still running and you are tired of having to check up on it, wouldn’t it be nice if you could just get a nice little e-mail letting you know when its done. Well, this little one liner just might make your day, ok maybe your hour…

while [ $(ps auxww | grep -i SOMEPROCESS | grep -v grep > /dev/null; echo $?) -eq 0 ]; do echo -n “.”; sleep 5; done; echo `/bin/date` | mail -s “SOMEPROCESS has completed” me@example.com

This little ditty will print a “.” every 5 seconds while the process is running, then when it completes will shoot you a nice little e-mail with the time it completed in the body. Now just don’t forget to the processes in screen so they can keep running even if you get disconnected.

I recently had the hard drive fail on my macbook and now received a new drive with a fresh install of Tiger here is what I am going to download and install on it.

• FireFox
  • Tab Mix Plus
  • Live HTTP
  • Firebug
  • YSlow
• quicksilver

• iStat Menus

• ipodRip My only backup of some songs and playlist was on my ipod

• Adium
• StuffIt

Seemed like this list was going to be much longer, I will just add to this post as I remember additional apps to install.

Kind of amusing, to me at least.

I may be the last person on the planet to have come across this song, but after hearing in on the Net@Nite podcast while driving home (yes I realize it was recorded 2 months ago, I am still catching up!) . I thought it was so freaking funny and catchy the first thing I did when I got home was to purchase it on iTunes. Now looking at his homepage maybe I should have gone there first to get a DRM free version and probably route more of the cash his way.
Now how to get it to start blaring on the slim server at just the right time……

Welcome to the slightly used CorDump V1.0 distinguished from CoreDump V0.0 by the missing “e” (isn’t that just so web 2.0) and a new primary URL to access the site. After spending a small fortune with godaddy.com the new preferred method to access CorDump is

www.cordump.com
and since you can’t eat just one:
www.cordump.net
www.cordump.org
www.cordump.us
work as well.
Hopefully this change indicates that in addition to the new web 2.0y (did I say that already?) name that I will finally have something interesting to say and can relate it in an interesting manner. But, thats probably too much to ask of a domain name.
Anyways, if you are actually viewing this site please update your bookmarks or RSS reader to point to www.cordump.com, www.dragonswhisper.com/blogs/coredump will continue to work but the new URL is just prettier and easier to remember.

Last Wednesday we did a Jobster update which really added Social Networking to the application. IMHO this is the biggest change we have made to Jobster usability since, well, since ever I LOVE this addition!
Here is the lead developers posting on the new features and here is Jobster’s Brilliant Director of IT giving a great explanation of the new features and why they Rock!

If you are a facebook user check out the updated Jobster Powered Career Center. We just launched the fully integrated site and if I can say so it Rocks!.

We launched a bunch of cool new features on Jobster yesterday. I will leave it to out CEO to give it the complete run down. However, one great feature that should interest everyone looking to hire is Free Job Post, minimal registration required.
So go ahead and check it out, and let the Jobster crew know what you think.

Had my eyes checked today and the did the stuff where they dialate your eyes, 3 freakin hours of blurry vision and hiding from sunlight like a vamp.
