The random things that spew forth from my brain…
Rentzsch.com says programmers don’t like to code… Yea… I’ll buy that. I’ve described “what I do” to many many people as “solving tough problems.” I’d much rather get into the problem itself than write all the scaffolding and crap that lets me get face to face with it. So yea. Sign me up.
Cheers
Now this is cool: CryoPID a process freezer for linux.
“CryoPID allows you to capture the state of a running process in Linux and save it to a file. This file can then be used to resume the process later on, either after a reboot or even on another machine.
CryoPID was spawned out of a discussion on the Software suspend mailing list about the complexities of suspending and resuming individual processes.
CryoPID consists of a program called freeze that captures the state of a running process and writes it into a file. The file is self-executing and self-extracting, so to resume a process, you simply run that file. See the table below for more details on what is supported.”
I find myself wondering: Could this be a new way of distributing interpreted language desktop apps as binary files without releasing the source?
