You have to hand it to the Gnome3 folks. At least the message looks crisp and smart.



Even though what followed was an undeniably ungraceful crash.

sounds very much like all the running processes. Well, it does if you slur and clip the last sss.

All the running processes

ps aux | less

• gives you the full command or name of the process, which you can then use to create keyboard shortcuts or just kill processes with their PID numbers
• piping the ps aux to less makes the display not run amok on your screen and you can scroll the output with your keyboard

All the processes run by you

ps -u username

• drawback is it doesn't give you the full command

Grepping for particular process.

ps aux | grep screen

• simple, you pipe the ps aux through grep.
• in the example above I was trying to search for what the screenshot utility was called. The output is below:

[user@comp ~]$ ps aux | grep screen
user 1527 0.0 0.1 429476 11664 ? Sl Nov14 0:11 gnome-screensaver
user 19804 0.0 0.1 415516 12696 ? Sl 07:54 0:00 gnome-screenshot --interactive
user 20066 0.0 0.0 109112 840 pts/0 S+ 08:07 0:00 grep --color=auto screen

The bolded text is what I was searching for.

HOWTO:
How to find the internal commands of the processes/programs/applications in linux. Can use these commands to assign keyboard shortcuts. Can use process IDs to kill applications/programs

Or so it seems today.

l stare at this building everyday and I couldn't help but notice that they added another beacon light on its rooftop. It's almost like a discotheque now.



If you can't clearly see the gaudy three lights in the super crappy picture that my phone has taken, the new light starts off as yellow, slowly turns a dark bright orange and then dims to a low green. The older two lights were red and yellow. That's quite a spectrum there.

Did they receive complaints from the pilots of random helicopters that keep zooming around the place? Or maybe they are jazzing it up for thanksgiving. Or maybe its an alien spaceship sending signals that Buffalo is safe for landing?

Back when Google introduced the Google Bookmarks Lists, I should not have jumped at it.



But I did. BIG mistake. Now ALL my zillion bookmarks are stuck in lists without ANY way of exporting them anywhere. The export-bookmarks function only works for bookmarks that are NOT in lists.

This is so annoying. I hate you, Google Bookmarks List makers. Haven't you ever heard of the data liberation front, your company's own sister concern????

Aaaaarrgh.

I read this article today (poorly written and not very informative. Don't bother reading).

Tchantchaleishvili V, Schmitto JD. Preparing a scientific manuscript in Linux: Today's possibilities and limitations. BMC research notes. 2011 Oct;4(1):434+. Available from: .

The table at the very end summarizes the format in which top biological sciences journals prefer to receive submissions.

• New England Journal of Medicine(34) PDF*, DOC, WPD, TXT, RTF
• Cell(37) DOC, RTF, TXT
• The Lancet(38) DOC
• JAMA(39) DOC, WPD
• The Journal of Biological Chemistry(35) PDF***
• Circulation(40) DOC, WPD
• ===
• Nature(29) DOC, TEX**
• Science(30) DOC, TEX**, RTF*
• PloS ONE(31) DOC, TEX, RTF
• PNAS(32) DOC, RTF, TEX
• BMC Journals (33) DOC, RTF, TEX

[* Some restrictions apply]
[** TEX files must be accompanied by a PDF version of the same text for visual reference 19 ]
[*** Although manuscripts must be submitted in PDF format, Microsoft Word is recommended to prepare the manuscript text]

Look at the sheer proliferation of M$hit formats on that list. The 1st preference is always doc. Wherever PDF is accepted, M$hit is recommended to make that PDF.

Even if you want to change *they* will not let you.
Ugh.

Am I in the wrong field or what? Nevermind content, even submission guidelines are so proprietary, backwards-thinking and insular.
