PHP can fork() and has done so since 4.1.0!

If you have xwrits running and you’re on IRC, change your “away message” to tell the people who are waiting on your reply why you’re taking so long!

When writing init scripts using the Red Hat daemon function, if you’re starting up long running scripts that don’t go into the background themselves, use the following to start them:
daemon "script.sh &"
That’ll launch the script using initlog and pass the & along to initlog so that the init script can exit normally.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I’m writing from a web-cafe in lovely Galway! We started with a night in Inish Mor, night in the local “night club” and a 10 mile bike ride up to Dun Aonghus. We’re sun burned! Who’s believe it? Ireland in September and we’re sunburned! hehe.
Lots of pics to post, Dun Aongus lies at the top of 87m cliffs facing the Atlantic, being up there reminded me of Bungy Jumping, but the pics were worth it!

Galway is great, def. worth a visit, wait ’till you see pics of the penthouse apartment we got! Woo!!

More updates at the weekend, we’re off to dinner in a while, the pub after, and then back to Kilkenny tomorrow!

Interesting day today. I’m off work for a few days so I cycled around Blackrock with my camera.
Down in the Line I had the camera set up to snap two of the bridges that span that old railway line when two lads came down the path on their bikes. I asked them to pose for a photo while cycling, which they declined to do at first but later they came back and I snapped a pic of them (link later). I told them it was for a website and they went off. They came back shortly and asked how they could see the photo, so I tried to tell them about photosig, but rememebered that you need to become a member there to do most things, so..

“D’you know Google.com?”
“Yeah, we go there in school.”
“Right, do a search for my name, donncha, that’s d-o-n-n-c-h-a, my homepage is the second link, I’ll post a link there.”

With that, they went off.
Google just found another function: It’s now a means for total strangers to pass on complex information without resorting to pen and paper.

Search for this and you’ll find me.
