How did I not know about this sooner?
Trying to build a particularly large maven project would consume so much CPU that my poor laptop would quit because it was sweating too much.
I used schedtool to set an affinity to only one of the two CPUs available on my dual-core laptop for the shell I used to launch the build, and voila! Things don't get as hot, and my system stays responsive. *phew!*
I really really like MonkeyGTD for trying to get my crap in order. I devided to try chrome on gentoo linux, and picked up/found a good ebuild to grab the latest beta, but Chrome won't allow saving to local files by default.
I have to say that updating RoR for old apps always lands me in some wonky funny business: missing config variables, moved whatsits and thingummies. grr. The issues aren't easy to search for, either.
Some (a few here and there) spam bots have been leaving comments lately... good thing that there was already a reCAPTCHA plugin available for nucleusCMS: had I known that earlier, I would have switched over earlier!
*sheesh*
bonus: one nagging/back-of-the-head item knocked off the list early in the new year...
