We took it easy today and just rode for a couple of hours, we’re spending
the night in this awesome cabin maintained by the US forest services. This
is a nice break to recuperate before we aim for Canada. I can’t believe
that it’s only day 3. Montana is enormous and has very long and wide roads,
coupled with no wind makes for the best riding. It’s farm after farm here.
And sometimes, a small town, some cute, some not so cute with obvious meth
problems. Abandoned houses and railroads would be great photographic
oportunities but it’s hard to stop and unwrap everytime. Cell phone
coverage is getting very sparse. Tonight we will be sleeping in a bed and
with 4 walls & a roof.
Trip of doom – camping fun
The camping we stayed at yesterday has had bear activity recently, the
night was creepy quiet. It always amazes me the buzz we get in our ears
when there is nothing to be heard. Except maybe for Brandon snoring, which
given the right conditions sounds exactly like a bear passing by your tent.
I don’t know if it’s the gun or the exhaustion but I still slept like a log.
Trip of doom – Yellowstone
I’m not a fan of this place. It is truly amazing but way too many people
and infrastructure to fell the deepness of it all. road work, massive
gatherings in notable places, giant campers all over. It took some
determination to go through all that shit. And you have to pay the $20 7
day pass even if you just wanna go across the park. We did ride very close
to a bison minding his own business on the side of the road, that was cool,
but still fuck this place.
Trip of doom – bunk beds!
I feel like a kid.
Trip of doom – that's all there was…
just need to keep busy, it was that or a full geological history of
Yellowstone.
Trip of doom – Jackson Wyoming
Le repos du guerrier
trip of doom – getting ready
Here’s an approximate map of the little loop we’re going for.
process file descriptor count
I’ve recently had to deal with a process leaking file descriptors. The following command came in handy as a quick way to count how many file descriptors a process is using.
Let’s say that we want to count them for the process(es) called firefox:
[bash]ps -ae | grep firefox | perl -lane ‘print $F[0]’ | while read filename; do ls /proc/$filename/fd; done | wc -w[/bash]
TADAA!
This just cracks me up
Found in a bargain bin…
Chase is not even trying anymore
What a bunch of morons.
Shit I get in the mail #4
Des tares qui afligent la societe Americaine, la chretientee est la plus perverse. Croire l’absurde et l’imposer sont des sports nationaux qui influencent meme la vie non-chretiens. Ainsi beaucoup de lois proposees et trop souvent adoptees visent a imposer un agenda religieux dans un pays ou la separation de l’eglise et de l’Etat est constament aggressee. Ces freaks essayent d’imposer l’enseignement du “inteligent design” dans des classes de sciences payees par l’Etat. Beaucoup croient que la terre n’est vieille que de 3000 ans et que les premiers hommes vivaients avec des dinosaures, l’evolution est bien sur la cible de ces agressions sans regard pour la raison. Par contre quand il s’agit de pomper 50L d’essence dans leur SUV, ca viendrai pas a l’idee que le procede de decomposition de matiere organique en petrol prend bien plus que 3000 ans. Bref, l’hypocrisie religieuse reigne et freine le progres social et scientifique.

note 3: You’re reading this right, take these 2 pennies that jesus is giving you, shove them in your shoes and then I don’t know… fucking, walk with them and your ass will be blessed.
VM stuck on a task
I’ve recently lost control of a VM that was stuck at 95% of a task. I waited and tried to regain control of the VM, nothing helped. This is how I got around it:
[code]
SSH into the ESX on which the VM is instantiated
cat /proc/vmware/vm/*/names | grep <vm_name>
note the vmid
/proc/vmware/vm/<vmid>/cpu/status
note the group vmid
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmkload_app -k 9 <group_vmid>
[/code]
That’s it!
