I must have seen this video a trillion times by now. Â It entertains me on so many levels, that I think it’s absolutely genius. Â There is a lot of English swearing, so if you are easily offended, you’d better skip this one. Â Not Safe For Work (NSFW), unless you work in some cool technology company.

Anyone who has been running a blog even for a couple of years, knows how annoying archives can get. Â Each year brings twelve monthly archives, and the more years you work, the more archives you have. Â And they just keep multiplying until there is no easy way to use them any more. Â For anyone who is suffering from this problem while using WordPress platform, I recommend a solution – Compact Archives plugin. Â If you are not on WordPress, chances are there is a similar plugin for your content management system, but even if there is none, creating one shouldn’t be a huge problem. Â See how it beautiful it is – in action on my newly re-created Archives page, or on the screenshot below.
Simple, intuitive, and scalable – just the way it should be.
Once in a while there is a need to see the tree of processes on a Linux system. Â When such a need arises, I usually run “ps auxw –forest“, which results in something like this (partial output, top only):
Today, via this blog post, I’ve learned that there is another way – “pstree“. Â This command accepts a number of parameters, but in its simplest form, results in something like this (partial output, top only):
On my Fedora box, /usr/bin/pstree is a part of the psmisc RPM, which is the one that brings /usr/bin/killall to the system.
I came across an interesting tool – Which loads faster?, which allows you to load two web sites side-by-side and measure which one of those loads faster. Â If you reload the sites several times, you’ll also get the average statistics across all runs.
