When Firefox misbehaves by caching old DNS requests then type

about:config

in the addressbar and change these settings

network.dnsCacheEntries 0
network.dnsCacheExpiration 0

Now restart your browser.

Tax Freedom Day

Volgens PwC werken we tot 10 Juni voor de Staat, dat is immers de Tax Freedom Day. Heerlijk toch, dat zalige warme gevoel om samen aan een project te werken. Project “eindeloze put”?

Working with screen under linux

Screen is a nice little nix-utility that allows you to leave a command running on a remote server even if you have disconnected.

The utility has a site at http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/.

Use is easy. Start screen with screen. You can exit an existing screen by tapping CTRL-A, d. Re-attaching to a screen is done with screen -r id. You can retrieve a list of ids by tapping screen -ls.
