  • watching season 1 of Torchwood via Netflix. Pretty good. Needs to either get darker or more humorous to be enjoyable long term. #
  • @jwynia, Top # lists are useless and why any on-demand/streaming service won’t beat Netflix for a while. J’s Top 100 is far more interesting #
  • a nice reminder that in more places than conventional wisdom allows, Wal-Mart is hope. cullect/53: http://culld.us/622283 #
  • 97.8% of Americans make more than minimum wage. cullect/53: http://culld.us/588983 #

  • http://everyblock.com is about to launch. I’m interested, even it if involves newspapers. cullect/1: http://culld.us/619110 #
  • my initial impressions when seeing the opening shots of GigaOm TV http://tinyurl.com/2ywmga : ‘boring’ or ‘porn’. Neither sound interesting. #

  • @timelliott – I’m real anxious to listen to them (and some Talk Shows, and @gapingvoid’s latest, and an EconTalk). #
  • "may", "might", "could" are words that belong in fear-mongering propaganda….not Public Radio news reports. #
  • @timelliott – 65 feeds may not be as arbitrary as you think, @cullect reading lists feel best in that area http://culld.us/590301 – #
  • The Law of Unintended Consequences – something I’ve been thinking about his election season – cullect/53: http://culld.us/599103 #

  • @pfhyper, @swirlspice – something I got in email 2 days ago is just hitting facebook now (actually it hasn’t hit twitter yet). #
  • @truetone – interesting. I have twitter, facebook, etc – email me all direct messages, so does that make email the best way to reach me? #

Restarting Rails with ‘Address Already in Use’

iTerm crashed on my this morning taking down my development Rails process. Now, I’m busy tailing cullect.com‘s production.log and listening to some podcasts so I didn’t want to restart1

A little Googling found John Nunemaker’s year-old, “Oops I did it again” post.

His tips worked. An I’m rewriting the following for Future Reference2:

$ ps aux | grep script/server

To get the process id you need to kill

$ kill [PID #]

1. My standard way of restarting Rails in this situation.
2. If memory serves, this was the name of the first inhouse blog I started .
