My kids (4 and 5) yell a lot when playing games on our Linux box. I found an effective cure for this: I've told them that the computer doesn't like loud noises. So when they get loud, I ssh into the box and run:
This turns off the screen for 15 seconds. They get quiet, but not to the level that I would be happy with. So I need to continue this educational process, but I'm getting tired of doing this manually.chvt 3; sleep 15; chvt 7
This blog exists purely as a place for me to dump random links and thoughts I have rather than emailing them to my friends. It'll have large amounts of inside jokes. Also there will probably be times when I write "you" or refer to an email. Just pretend that you are reading an email to you. If you don't know me you likely won't find anything here interesting. If you do know me you also will not find anything here interesting.
