MiniPedia Released

The first public version of MiniPedia has been released! It’s something I’ve been working on for a long while. I wanted something portable and small like TiddlyWiki, but more of the behavior and looks of MediaWiki (the software that runs Wikipedia).

Anyway, I finally had the time to release the first version after lots of private beta testing. Be sure to give it a spin: MiniPedia

Postscriptum: I’ve started working on a new project, a sneak preview here

Command line snippet of the week: 3

Wouldn’t it be nice to check if a program is running? You can do that and make it start conditionally if it isn’t running. Very handy for service daemons that always need to be running. Can be used with cron as well:

ps -C servicedaemon || { servicedaemon & }

Replace servicedaemon with your own process that needs to be checked. The second servicedaemon value describes what program it needs to start if it’s not running.
