[visnup@Octal ~]$ cat /usr/local/bin/pgrep

list = `ps -Ao pid,command`.split "\n"
matches = list.select do |l|
  pid, command = l.split nil, 2
  command.downcase.include? ARGV.first.downcase and pid.to_i != Process.pid
end

puts matches

i still need to figure out how to consolidate twitter vs. a blog post.

i need to write these down or i’ll forget. there are so many:

• forbidden kingdom
• -harold and kumar 2-
• -iron man- — 5/2
• -indiana jones- — 5/22
• -sex and the city- — 5/30
• -incredible hulk- — 6/13
• -wall-e- — 6/27
• -wanted- — 6/27
• hancock — 7/2
• -hellboy 2- — 7/11
• -dark knight- — 7/18
• x-files — 7/25
• star wars: the clone wars — 8/15

found this in the vim forums and tweaked it to be even better. put it in your .vim/plugin directory. also, do you have supertab? use with either :Find name or ,f (which is a mapping to :Fi). then type in something like ‘person’. if you’re going to abbreviate, use spaces where you want a wildcard. like:

pe show => could match ‘*pe*ople/show’
pe pl sh => also could match ‘*pe*o*pl*e/*sh*ow’

it’s case insensitive and takes path names into account. g’yeah!

random nice feature of the new 2.0 software is the international character support in the fonts. all of my thai songs now show up correctly w/o any jailbreaking along with weird left-to-right farsi.
