Bat Saga
January 30, 2013
If you follow me on Twitter you could not escape the Bat Tweets today. I'm sorry. BUT YOU GUYS. The bat! It was ridiculous! It is STILL ridiculous. I cannot believe we arranged an entire day around, and my husband missed an entire day of work because of, a STUPID BAT.
Around two in the morning Phillip got up to investigate a noise in the bathroom. Silly me, I thought he was getting up to deal with the Insomniac Baby who starts talking to herself around two or three and doesn't stop for at least an hour. But no, he thought Jack had come upstairs to use OUR bathroom, but the noises were weird, so he got up - and then he was turning on lights and banging doors and I was all, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY MAN."
He slams the door and looks at me. "So," he says. "There's a bat in our bathroom."
While Emma yammered in the background, we both Mulled The Implications.
It wasn't in a place where he could trap it (hiding in a heap of bath toys) (which are now in the garbage) (ugh). If he shooed it out it could fly anywhere in our house. We didn't have a net or anything to catch it with. Besides, Phillip was afraid it would bite him.
He left the lights on, both doors shut, got back in bed and began to Google. What else would we do?
The bathroom is a little weird - one end opens into the hallway and the other opens into our bedroom. It's the only bathroom on the upper floor AND it has a super high ceiling with a skylight. It's pretty if you ignore the cobwebs. Phillip assumed the bat somehow flew in from the attic? But how did it get in the attic? In the middle of the night he left messages for pest control services and in the morning I said, "Um, no, you aren't going to work today and leaving me with VERMIN ON THE LOOSE."
We used the bathroom downstairs. We told the kids the toilet was broken. I made Phillip sneak in and get my contacts, but otherwise we kept the doors shut. We didn't want to wait for anyone to call us back, so Phillip called again, and a man from Critter Control promised to be at our house between ten and noon.
Twitter warned me that Vermin Catchers were chatty and the Bat Man did not disappoint. In the span of five or six minutes I learned everything I never wanted to know about bats. However! He located and caught the bat within minutes and duct taped it into a coffee cup he had in his truck.
Why didn't you just get RID of it? you are asking. Throw it outside! Well, because the Bat Man made a Very Big Deal about getting it tested for rabies. It was that or immediately go to the clinic and begin the series of rabies shots for the entire family. The chance was low, he promised, but STILL. STILL. WHAT IF? These are your BABIES! AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!
It sems like this is the sort of thing pest control should do FOR you, but no, we got to KEEP the bat. He left the bat on our PORCH. In its coffee cup HOUSE. (Well, first he checked out the attic and the roof and nope, no bat colonies here and OMG BAT COLONIEEEEEEEESSSSS.)
He told us to call Seattle Public Health. And this is where everything gets RIDICULOUS.
Seattle Public Health was very sorry about our bat, but they didn't think it needed to be tested for rabies. Phillip demanded to know why not. Well there are requirements and restrictions for doing such testing and if we weren't DIRECTLY EXPOSED to the bat, there was no need. Phillip explained that we didn't KNOW if we were directly exposed. What if it LANDED on one of the CHILDREN during the NIGHT and seriously, I was dry heaving as he had this heated conversation.
Phillip and the SPH lady went back and forth and because she felt sorry for us in our Bat-Ridden Plight, she agreed that as it was found in the Master Bathroom which is technically part of the Master Bedroom, she could say it was "flying around in our room" and we were "directly exposed", but she'd have to the argue the point to her superiors and get back to us.
Oh! And if they DID agree to test it, we would have to drive the bat to Kent (waaaaay south of us), have it humanely euthanized, and then drive to Shoreline (north of us) to have it tested. !!!
While we waited to see if they'd agree to test it, Phillip decided to call a vet and see if THEY could euthanize it. (I didn't know this part.) "Uhhhh..." they said. "Uhhhh...." Then they told him to call Animal Control. (WHY DIDN'T THE BAT MAN JUST TELL US TO CALL ANIMAL CONTROL.)
So! Animal Control said, "Hey, we'll euthanize your bat! AND we'll deliver it to Shoreline for testing!" Then they wanted our information and they'd call us back. Note: Animal Control? MUCH CLOSER THAN KENT. Note: I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS PHONE CALL.
But. They never called back. Phillip sat around wondering what to do about our bat. I was ignoring this to the best of my ability, except for when I had something exciting to tweet.
Then SPH called and said they agreed to test our bat. OH THANK YOU FOR THE LOVELY FAVOR, SPH. But we had to euthanize it first and deliver it to the lab "packaged properly". I do not have ANY desire to know what that means.
Animal Control still hadn't called. (Note: I DID NOT KNOW THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO CALL.)
Around 3 Phillip decided that he better just drive the stupid bat to Kent so he'd have time to drive it back up to Shoreline before the lab closed. Me = still ignoring everything. Me = wondering why he can't go pick up Jack on his way to deliver the bat. Me = disbelieving that a bat, a MOUSE-LIKE BAT, has put a total stop to Cheung Daily Production.
Phillip left with the bat. Two minutes later I hauled the girls to school and fetched Jack. When we got home, Phillip's car was in the driveway. He was in the house talking on the phone. I stood at the top of the stairs and shouted, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON PHILLIP CHEUNG!"
"Animal Control is coming to get the bat!"
"They're coming to PICK UP THE BAT!"
Oh you guys. This is so stupid. Animal Control didn't call Phillip, but Seattle Public Health DID, in the car, right before he got on the freeway, to tell him that Animal Control was coming to get the bat. How SPH linked up with Animal Control I AM STILL VERY CONFUSED ABOUT THIS. I was sort of stuck on the part where someone was driving across town to my house to pick up a half-dead BAT.
And it's not like it started to make sense after that. I know Phillip is reading this and dying to explain how SPH knew about Animal Control and he DID tell me but I'M STILL NOT CLEAR BUT ANYWAY. Phillip had a half hour conversation with the Animal Control girl in our driveway, who was holding our bat in something that looked like an oatmeal cannister about three feet away from her body. GOD KNOWS WHAT THEY WERE DISCUSSING. But Phillip came inside and said he had to FOLLOW THE BAT.
Apparently he had to give Animal Control twenty minutes or so to kill the bat, I mean Humanely Euthanize the bat, THEN he could go pick it up and take it to the lab in Shoreline. (They told him they would deliver the bat on the phone, but I guess they mixed that up with "we will pick up your bat from your house".)
Meanwhile I am thinking: TAXPAYER DOLLARS AT WORK.
So Phillip left again, a bit later, for Animal Control in Interbay (for you locals playing along) to pick up a dead bat. Then he made it to the lab in Shoreline at 4:55 PM, five minutes before it closed.
All this to find out if a bat, which should not even be flying around in January, and did not come from a Bat Colony in our attic, and which is the size of a teeny mouse, which (we are fairly certain) was NOT flying around our house and landing on each individual family member in their beds, and living in an area in which rabies is not common, HAS RABIES. So that WE CAN KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT EXPOSED.
I realize that rabies is a big deal. But this just seems wildly SILLY to me. Who knew that catching the bat would be infinitely easier than deciding what to do with the bat post-catch?
So! Let us all fervently pray that this bat is not one of the lucky five percent that have rabies because OH GOD if I have to add "Now we're all getting rabies shots" to this blog post I'll have to also add a padded cell to my house.

American Catholic Council opens in Detroit
Some may see it as an echo of the fading church of the 1960s, others may see it as a sign of the strength of the church's left wing. However you see it, the American Catholic Council opening this weekend in Detroit, gathering some 1,800 people from across the country, looks to be interesting.
It's interesting first in its model: The organizing group has been encouraging "listening sessions" in various areas of the country to gather the concerns of Catholics. They seem to think (please make sure you are seated) that the Holy Spirit may be speaking in the hopes and desires of the baptized.
It's also interesting in its product: The council is proposing a Catholic Bill of Rights and Responsibilities. Sound too American? Well, none other than Pope Paul VI proposed just such a thing--a basic law or constitution--for the church to be included in the revision of canon law. Pope John Paul II scrapped the idea, though its contents survive in canons 208-231.
I can hear already the protest that the church is not a democracy, to which I give my pat response that neither is it an empire, a monarchy, an oligarchy, or a dictatorship, though it in many ways is currently mirroring those forms of human government in various ways. I would also argue that from its foundation the church is profoundly democratic, and its history is full of examples in which the "fundamental equality of the baptized" (that's from canon law and Lumen gentium) was exercised in things like the selection of bishops, the governance of religious communities, and church councils.
The archdiocese of Detroit is the unwilling host of this gathering and has issued a list of questions and answers about everything wrong with the council. Conservative Catholics are staging a counter-conference outside Detroit to explain why the American Catholic Council folks are wrong. No doubt several "banned topics" are likely to come up there, including the admission of married men and women to orders, and the inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in the life of the church. Also just as likely to surface are issues such as good diocesan governance, financial transparency, and true lay participation in the administration of the church.
I'm sure that the council isn't perfect and is intentionally weighted toward the liberal side of things. At the same time, being a guy that likes good conversation and who would like to see some movement on many of these issues, I'll be saying a prayer to the Holy Spirit for those gathered in Detroit.

Little Giants' routine changes some this weekby Howard W. Hewitt • October 15, 2004 Share:
Wabash's Little Giant football team is facing its biggest game of the week Saturday after an unusual week of preparation.
Wabash, 5-0 and Division III 13th rated team, will face 5-0 and 14th rated Wooster at 1 p.m. at Byron B. Hollett Little Giant Stadium.
While preparation may not have deviated greatly from the normal routine, things were different for Little Giant players. Wabash is on fall break with most students leaving campus Wednesday for a four-day weekend.
"The key we learned the first year was to let them know early, it's not a bye week for us," Coach Chris Creighton said.
But Creighton has made a few changes in past years and this year in preparing for the game during the unusual week. There was no study table Wednesday evening after practice, no meetings and Thursday's practice was during the afternoon.
"So guys relatively close by can still get home for an evening and sleep in and have lunch with their families," he said. "I know some of our out-of-state guys go home with folks to get off campus."
Thursday night has been a fun night the past couple of years under Creighton's leadership. Last year the team enjoyed computer games, ping pong, free throw shooting contests and other activities.
The Wabash football team talent show was the fun event this year. Andy Cartwright, 6-11, 325-pound senior offensive lineman, stole the show Thursday and top prize with his singing talent. "Our guys are definitely multi-talented," Creighton said this morning. "We had guys playing guitar, piano, a stunt man and even a boxer.
"The idea is to be social and have everybody together. During the season we don't have time to do that. We start the season off with our preseason camp and we're together all the time and doing a lot of team building stuff. But during the season, we don't normally have that time."
The entire team will head to the theater Friday night to see the new release, "Friday Night Lights."
If Wooster's Scots weren't enough of a worry, Creighton also is concerned that the home crowd may not be as big as usual. Early this week he was convincing students to be sure to return to campus a day early to support the Little Giants.
"We've always had a major advantage playing at home," he said. "The environment here is just unlike any other place. This is not a week we want to lose that advantage."

Bespoke Wallpapers by de Gournay
- Location: New York
- Specialty: Bespoke wallpaper
- Price range: $$$
- Website: degournay.com
de Gournay recently opened a new shop on East 59th Street to showcase their bespoke wall coverings. Since I'm so smitten with their product, I high-tailed it over there for a few photos and to discover what's new.
For starters, these are hand-painted panels on silk, gold leaf, pearlescent glazes or paper. They're created in China by painters who've been trained in these techniques for generations. Each project is completely custom — before painting even begins, they'll make an elevation sketch of your wall or room so you don't wind up with a bird's head behind a switch plate, and so they can plan around windows and doorways accordingly.
You may think this looks a bit too mumsy or Marie Antoinette for the pages of Apartment Therapy, but look again. Some of the Korean and Japanese collections look lean and contemporary (I'm smitten with Matsushima waves, which is especially graphic), and some of the brighter colorways like green apple or black lacquer lend a feeling of being au courant. Also, look to the Eclectic collection for new ideas: Art Deco monkeys, Rothko-esque color washing and tortoise shell.
I asked if there was a signature color or most-popular set of colors at de Gournay, but it seems there isn't. Because everything is custom, the sky's the limit, though I sense retailers are a bit more daring then the average consumer. Above are a few installation shots from the show room, as well as details. Enjoy!

I've been having fun playing this on Ubuntu 10.10
A couple of questions.
Is this project still being developed ?
I'd like to run a dedicated server. Is this possible and if so, how ?
I have been trying to join the Beta servers but continuously get no connection and am unable to join. I can join other servers if someone has one running, but not the Betas. Do I need any port forwarding or open ports ???

Retrofit steel plant transformers integrate easily with existing equipment
Pacific Crest Transformers (PCT), designer and manufacturer of liquid-filled distribution transformers, offers a transformer design said to be ideal for retrofitting existing steel industry transformers. PCT meets the steel industry's need for a turnkey retrofit solution that fits into an existing space and easily connects to high and low voltage equipment already in place. The high efficiency transformer transformer design meets the needs of facilities responding to U.S. Department of Energy requirements stipulating that replacement transformers incorporate new high efficiency standards.
PCT can conducts an audit of steel plants' existing transformers and provide engineering drawings for replacement transformers at a fraction of the purchase price. This engineering cost is deducted from the transformer price when purchased. This proactive approach is said to minimize lead time and reduce manufacturing delays.
Steel mills now experiencing increased demand as the economy recovers are faced with the growing need to replace aging transformers, PCT said. PCT's retrofit transformers are custom-designed for each installation, so the retrofit design and mechanical components can be matched with the existing application. With Pacific Crest's turnkey solution, facility managers can quickly and easily replace transformers during a planned outage.
Large multi-facility steel companies seeking to anticipate and plan for future transformer replacement can work with PCT to:
- Develop proactive transformer replacement programs
- Conducts inventories of installed transformers
- Develop a library of conceptual designs
- Anticipate costs and avoid lag time for design work
- Order replacements from the bank of designs as needed, before a costly outage.
"Thousands of transformers in the steel industry are coming to the end of their natural life and must be replaced," said Curt Collins, Pacific Crest Transformer's vice president of sales and marketing. "Pacific Crest offers a leading edge replacement transformer and can partner with our steel industry customers to give them a strategy for planning their retrofit programs."
PCT's transformers feature circular windings that spread the radial forces evenly over their circumference and have cooling ducts throughout the coils, eliminating hot spots that lead to premature breakdown and ultimately to transformer failure. Coil end blocking with heavy duty 3 gauge steel bracing and proprietary pressure plates contains the axial forces exerted during a fault condition. These forces can cause telescoping of the coils, shortening transformer life. The innovative design includes round coils, a cruciform, mitered core with heavy-duty clamping and a proprietary pressure plate design, as well as a premium no-load tap changer.

Break is over! back to French learning…
Welcome back everybody!
Break is over, but exams are quickly approaching, so of course I have a new round of ways to help you improve your French skills.
First this week is a new interactive website called LiveMocha. It allows you to create a profile detailing which languages you speak, and which you are learning. Then you can enroll for online courses FOR FREE. Right now they have French 101, 102, 201, and 202 listed to help those of you who are in basic grammar classes, but if you are an advanced speaker, the site offers you a chance to interact with other learnings, or native French speakers who are trying to learn English. The courses will also suite visual learners well as they often use photo flashcards. Who knew the word for gutter was "la gouttière?" Now I do. All you need is an e-mail address to sign up, so I encourage you all to try it out.
Second, for those of you who are passionate about music, Pandora gives you the opportunity to listen to French music and improve your skill and knowledge of language and culture that way. You can start an account and then search for artists. Then, if you choose "Create a station" the program will choose similar music and sting it together. So far I have found music my MC Solar, Noir Desir, but do a little research and be your own French DJ! Let me know if you create any great French stations that everybody should know about.
Lastly, I have to plug SSRD. All 8 French Majors will be presenting the works-in-progress that are their thesis. These will be in English, so people of all French speaking levels can come and understand. It will surely enlighten you on a diverse assortment of French topics from literature to politics to film to the secret revisionist past of your favorite French character- TinTin! If nothing else, it will give you a good idea of what pursuing a French major might be like. So save the date, Wednesday April 16th.
More to come before the end of the semester! As always, I hope to see some excellent feedback and ideas for blog entries. What do you do that helps you learn French? I would love to just have a blog of study ideas. What are your favorite French websites? These could be shopping, news, music, gossip, whatever! Let me know!
A la prochaine
Comments Off on Break is over! back to French learning…

Those of you that watch....whose your fav...who should be kicked off?
Karrie is definately my favorite.
Anthony needed to be gone a long time ago!
Bo is better than Constintine.
Just my opinion.
What do you think?
|Besotted Scroller
i like carrie and vonzell
my opinion changes weekly on constantine and bo
don't care for anthony, scott or anwar
of those gone i liked jessica
|Besotted Scroller
i like bo. i want him to win. constantine annoys the crap out of me becasue everything about him seems so fake, but i think i'd want scott gone before him.
anthony's fun. he looks like what would happen if harry potter and draco malfoy could have a child
|Scroll Stalker
I totally agree about Constantine. He is trying sooo hard to be sexy and it just makes me feel sorry for him because I don't think he's sexy.
ROTFLMAO...about Anthony...so very true!
|Scroll Guardian
Constantine = huzz
Enough said.
|Scroll Desperado
amen to that. can't stand his smarmy mugging.
i like Bo.
and is it just me or is Paula more out of it than ususal this year?
are you sitting on the soap?
sometimes, you just have to say 'what the f...'
|Scroll Stalker
It definately seems like Paula has picked up the bottle this year. My girlfriend and I were watching an interview with Letterman and she was slurring her words so badly. We just wrote it off as collagen injections because she was fine the week of Idol. Well fine is a strong word. I don't know what to think because I've always loved Paula. Don't ask me why but I have.
Oh and I do love Bo. I will miss him if he goes because if someone doesn't offer him a contract he won't be back in my opinion. He has an awesome voice.
AND YAY! ANWAR IS GONE! One down two more to go.
|Scroll Stalker
Straight up now tell do you really wanna pop another pain pill.. Oh .. Oh.. Oh! Or am I caught in a gin and tonic?
Sorry 'bout that. It's proabably in very bad taste. If she really is having some problems I hope she gets things worked out, because I too, like Paula.
Uhg - I find Huzz boy Const-antly Annoying. I actually hit the power button when he did the - oh god will it ever leave my mind - the tongue thing.
I like Carrie and Vonzel and I like Nadia too. Scott creeps me out a little but I think he nailed the Hall and Oats tune a while back.
Bo's pretty good, but I just find him a little too mature for this type of thing.
|Scroller Needing Therapy
I like Paula, too. Her teeth look pretend and she's been talking a little bit more purple-monkey-dishwasher lately, but she seems happy. Nice lady.
As for the contestants, I like Anthony and Carrie.
|Ultimate Scroller
It's Carrie all the way for me. She's got this whole thing going on where I tend to obsess about her like I did Kelly Clarkson, lol.
Other than her though, I dig Bo and Anthony.
Constantine is SO annoying. I swear, he ain't sexy. Not by a long shot. Heck, I find Anthony's little white boy booty shakin' sexier than Constantine's "smoldering" stares. *shudder*
As for Paula, she really IS out of this season. I'm trying to get what's up with her. Maybe she's hitting menopause, who knows. What I find especially annoying is how she interprets Simon all the time, doesn't let him finish, and acts like his opinion doesn't matter. And what is up with her dancing to EVERY SINGLE SONG?
|Scroll Desperado
at least you didn't go "Hit & Run"...
are you sitting on the soap?
sometimes, you just have to say 'what the f...'
|Ultimate Scroller
Just saw this right now...doesn't look like Paula's havin' drug/alcohol problems. See below:
|Scroller Needing Therapy
I'm glad she feels better.
|Besotted Scroller
yay! anthony fans! i'm home ^_^
i was sorry to see anwar go, but he has been pretty iffy ever since "moon river" (which i liked). i don't really mind what happens in this series, but if bo goes, i go. well, i might hang around to watch my little harry malfoy for a while. he's so much fun
|Scroll Stalker
Wow...thanks for the link Gabber. I had no idea. I'm just glad she's alright now.
|Scroll Stalker
I thought everyone was pretty blah tonight. Scott needs to go!...I am so sick of having to watch him. Okay I guess I could turned off my TV but that's beside the point. Nobody seemed like they liked their song except for maybe Bo and Karrie...the rest sounded like they were forced...This was one of Anthony's better performances but that's not saying a lot.
Well here's to hoping for a better week next week.
|Besotted Scroller
who left? i'm going to have to wait til friday aren't i ?
|Scroll Guardian
The results show is tonight so nobody knows who will leave yet.
|Besotted Scroller
ohhh right. i forgot that they were two seperate nights. channel 10 crams everything into the same show on friday here .
gosh i hope that bo doesn't go . but i guess i will just have to wait til friday. damn my imminent lack of internet access!>.<
|Scroll Desperado
good performance for Carrie & Bo, i thought.
Anthony was better this week. even if he chose a song by that person who shall remain nameless less my blood curdle...
Constantine's one attribute, his stage presence, is starting to crumble IMO. he's too much about "where's the camera, i gotta pout" and not enough about singing the dang song. less mugging and more singing, or he's gotta go!
but first, Scott. sorry kid, you're next....
are you sitting on the soap?
sometimes, you just have to say 'what the f...'
|Scroll Stalker
The whole pouty boy routine was getting on my nerves last night. I was pretty much screaming at the tv "YOU KNOW YOU HAVE PEOPLE OUT IN THE AUDIENCE!" I get a little emotional.
|Ultimate Scroller
Hehe, zoomie zoom zoom, usually Celine CAN annoy me... but what can I say... "I Surrender" gives me chills and provokes something out of me that not many songs can. It always has since the first time I heard it -- when Kelly Clarkson sang it during season 1. Anthony did the song much justice and I got chills again. So I voted to my little heart's content for Anthony, hehe.
Carrie was good, I just...I wish she'd sing country songs I actually like! LOL. I'm a picky person when it comes to country and that's simply because I used to hate it, but Sara got me liking some stuff. Like Jessica Sierra was singing country too, but I dug the songs she chose. Maybe it's just this last song I didn't like of Carrie's, I'm not sure. She still rocks though.
Eh, I think Gavin Degraw sounds better on that song than Bo. But Bo was still Bo, therefore he was still good. So I voted for him too. lol, I voted for Carrie, Bo, and Anthony.
SCOTT NEEDS TO GO!!! He needed to go like three episodes ago. UGH.
Constantine... I swear, he makes me want to hit him. At the end of that song when he stared down the camera long after the song had ended, I literally gagged and yelled at the TV, "Stop making love to the camera! It's sickening!" 'Cause that's so it. He's making love to the camera, and quite frankly, I would really prefer not to be subjected to his "making love" eyes 'cause the thought repulses me. *gag*
VONZELL! *cough* I just like saying her name, hehe. I think her personality keeps her around, 'cause unfortunately I don't think there's been one performance where she hasn't been flat or sharp.
That's Keri's commentary for this week. Bye bye Scott. Or at least it BETTER be bye bye Scott.
|Scroll Guardian
Channel surfing and caught the beginning of Constantine. And had to quickly turn the channel.
Say it with me, everybody: Nickelback SUCKS
|Ultimate Scroller
*coughs sheepishly and says in a very quiet voice* I kinda like "Someday"? But other than that, in agreement.
|Ultimate Scroller
*looks around bewildered*
HOW in the WORLD did Scott end up in the top three?!?!
That was so wrong.
And I'm really, really getting tired of seeing him clap for himself. Let alone when he yells out, "I rock!" Ugh.
Although it's not entirely heartbreaking to see Constantine go. I shuddered once again when he tried to make love to the camera/me. Bye bye.

Capturing Process Memory Usage Under Linux
July 2009
Pages and Mappings
PageMap Reports
Processes and Components
Process Memory Metrics
PageMap Tool
Recently we here at EQware had occasion to want detailed information about process
memory usage on an embedded Linux system. Naturally we turned to the web
to discover what tools and techniques the community might have to offer.
What we found surprised us: apparently it's considered hard to get good
per-process memory information under Linux! We read any number of discussions
of why
give misleading results (they report RSS memory mappings), and why
Just as we were scratching our heads and trying to decide what to do next, we bumped into "ELC: How much memory are applications really using?", a discussion of a set of patches written by Matt Mackall which provided precisely what we needed: a way of relating virtual mappings to physical pages. His proposed method uses the /proc filing system to expose some new windows into Linux memory management:
Using these new resources in conjunction with
It's hard to call a data set collected over so long an interval a �snapshot�, all the more so since any time-skew in data collection might result in inconsistencies as the page mappings change. Even so, Mr. Mackall's patch, which we shall refer to as the PageMap feature, provides a vastly better picture of process memory usage under Linux than has ever been available before.
Good news: as of Linux kernel version 2.6.25, the PageMap feature has been incorporated into the kernel. Bad news: up until kernel version 220.127.116.11, it contained two egregious bugs. The bugs are easy to fix (the patch is given below), and it's rather surprising they survived so long. It seems as if the good news about Linux process memory measurement is being slow to get around. Once we understood the capabilities the PageMap feature offered, we rushed back to the web expecting to find any number of tools and scripts which made use of it. What we found was... nothing. Maybe we didn't search hard enough, but Mr. Mackall's original Python scripts, which we had already judged didn't meet our needs, were pretty much it in the tools department.
So we did what any good Linux programmer would do: we wrote our own. It is these PageMap tools, and the results they provide, that are the topics of this article.
Pages and Mappings
All fundamental memory management in Linux is carried out in pages,
contiguous blocks of physical memory. On i386 systems the page size
is typically 4Kb, but you can enter
Processes allocate memory under several circumstances. When an application is loaded,
a new process is created and pages are allocated for the application image
itself, plus pages for any libraries it loads, plus more pages for any
static data the application has declared. Once the application is running
it will reserve stack pages, and it may call
User programs run in virtual memory, so allocating a page involves creating a mapping from a user virtual address to the page's physical address. Given the ability to see the page mappings on a per-process basis (which we have, via /proc/pid/maps) it might seem obvious to simply count the mapped pages and thereby tell how much memory the process is using. A variant of this is how top and ps and several other standard Linux utilities do in fact report memory usage.
But page mappings can be made without actually allocating memory. The means by which libraries are shared is by allowing multiple mappings of the library pages. Not all of the pages of a shared library need be mapped by any process at all, and different applications may map different parts of the same library. Finally, during normal operation some number of pages which were originally mapped, allocated and loaded will get swapped out. The mapping and allocation remain, but the page is not loaded in memory. These facts make a simple count of mappings a very unreliable indicator of per-process memory usage.
PageMap Reports
Below is a fragment, the upper-left corner, of a human-readable Process/Component Matrix report, the most inclusive of the reports generated by the PageMap tools:
1 2 3 4 PID - PROCESS NAME : USS PSS RSS : heap libwe ANON Xfbde ---- - ------------------- - ----- -------- ----- - ----- ----- ----- ----- 2124 - app : 2644 3128.21 4120 : 793 760 46 0 2074 - /usr/bin/Xfbdev : 528 567.46 736 : 120 0 86 195 2127 - mb-applet-volume : 343 660.23 1426 : 256 0 12 0 2113 - matchbox-panel : 173 217.60 591 : 117 0 8 0 2130 - mb-applet-menu-laun : 155 196.25 565 : 102 0 9 0 ---- - ------------------- - ----- -------- ----- - ----- ----- ----- ----- 2125 - mb-applet-clock : 149 215.82 718 : 86 0 10 0 2107 - matchbox-window-man : 147 190.13 543 : 68 0 9 0 2121 - /usr/bin/appinitd : 122 202.40 604 : 48 0 12 0 1970 - avahi-daemon: runni : 116 133.91 328 : 13 0 8 0 2123 - /usr/libexec/gconfd : 104 143.09 440 : 48 0 7 0
All numeric values (except PIDs) are page-counts. Each running process occupies one row, and rows are arranged in decreasing USS order. For each process, the first 4 columns give the process ID and name, and the USS, PSS and RSS of the process.
The remaining columns are a count of pages mapped by the process, per-component, in decreasing RSS order. Remember that the table above is only a fragment of a real Process/Component Matrix report, which might well have 200 or more columns. Column names are limited to 5 characters, but a separate table following the matrix gives an indexed, ordered pairing of these shortened names and the original, full names. (In the alternate "comma-separated" output format, column names are not truncated).
Processes and Components
A process, in this context, is an ordinary Linux process, the kind you'd see on a ps report. Processes represent some body of code – an application or a daemon – which is active in memory and has resources allocated to it. Note that the kernel itself and anything linked to it, such as device drivers, are not processes, and will not appear on this list.
A component is a set of one or more memory regions attributable to the same source. Multiple regions associated with a single source typically have different characteristics – one region may be read-only, another may be read-write, a third may be execute-only.
Most components are �file-backed� – their content
is attributable to (and indeed directly mapped to) a file in the filing
system. For example, the first process in the example above is app.
Somewhere out on the right in the header row will be the name of the
file containing the app executable's binary image,
Process Memory Metrics
For each process, 3 memory metrics are given in addition to the per-component page mapping counts. These are:
USS (Unique Set Size) — Indicates the number of pages a process has mapped which are mapped only by that process – which are not mapped by any other process. This is the amount of memory which would be recovered if this process were to be unloaded.
PSS (Proportional Set Size) — The count of all pages mapped uniquely by the process, plus a fraction of each shared page, said fraction to be proportional to the number of processes which have mapped the page. For example, if a process mapped 1 page that was unmapped by any other process (USS=1), and it mapped a second page which was also mapped by one other process, the PSS value reported would be 1.5. If there were three users of the shared page, the reported PSS would be 1.33.
RSS (Resident Set Size) — This is currently the most common – but much disparaged – measure of per-process memory under Linux, reported by utilities such as ps and top. It indicates the total count of pages mapped by the specified process, including 100% of all shared pages. For each process shown in a Process/Component Matrix, the sum of the page counts in all of the columns in its row is equal to the RSS value for the process.
PageMap Tools
The PageMap tools consists of two separate command-line utilities:
page-collect -- collect a snapshot each of of the /proc/pid/maps files, with each VM region interleaved with a list of physical addresses which make up the virtual region. usage: page-collect {switches} switches: -o out-file -- Output file name (def=./page-collect.out)
page-analyze takes a data file as output by page-collect and generates reports. Here is the result of entering page-analyze --help:
page-analyze -- analyze a snapshot file created by page-collect and generate specified reports. usage: page-analyze {switches} switches: -c -- Generate component report. -i in-file -- Input file name (def=./page-collect.dat) -m -- Generate process/component matrix. -mcsv -- Generate matrix in CSV format. -Mb -- Report in Mbytes (def=pages) -o out-file -- Output file name (def=./page-analyze.dat) -p -- Generate process report
Process/Component Matrix reports are discussed above; Process and Component Reports are simpler, less detailed reports, giving USS, PSS and RSS on a per-process or per-component basis. All of the information that appears in both the Process and Component Reports is also present in a Process/Component Matrix, plus a detailed breakdown of the page mappings between processes and components. On the other hand, both of the Process and Component Reports are much shorter than the Process/Component Matrix.
The Process/Component Matrix can be written in either of two ways:
human-readable text as shown above
Attached below are files containing sections of code which implement the tools described above, together with examples of some reports.
Contains a diff between the original (2.6.25) release of the PageMap feature (which appears in fs/proc/proc_misc.c), and the fixed version (126.96.36.199). Note that only the changes needed to fix the two bugs are given; other differences are not shown.
Contains the PageMapTools data collection utility, which must be compiled for and run on the target platform. Known to build successfully with gcc V4.1.2.
Contains the PageMapTools report generator utility, which converts the output of a prior page-collect run into one or more human-readable formats, and which may be compiled and run on any platform. Known to build successfully with g++ V4.3.3.
Contains a mindlessly-simple makefile for building the above two utilities using the GNU toolchain.
Contains an example of the most inclusive PageMapTools report type, the Process/Component Matrix, in human-readable format.
Contains a duplicate of the previous example, but this time in comma-separated format, suitable for import into a spreadsheet.

Wolfgang Voigt
Freiland Klaviermusik
Wolfgang Voigt returns to stranj for his left-of-center Kompakt label offshoot, Profan. As GAS, Voigt composed ethereal, blue-hued, deep-forest metaphysical techno 'head music', but now under his own name he injects the dance floor with a dose of well tempered madness. If you like your techno birthed out of a slightly crooked disposition, thought provoking and borderline psychotic, please check this out.
Ellen Allien
BPitch Corp
Berlin's first lady of techno drops a solid release for 2010. Her trademark razor-sharp spooky production is complete with bleeps n bells, throbbing bass house, squidgy electro tech-pop, and even what could be taken as an homage to the Exorcist theme.
Ichisan and Nakova
Yugo Tempo
Between them, duo Ichisan & Nakova have toured the cream of the new disco stables with releases on Nang, Eskimo and Airtight. They present their debut album together for Nang, collecting thirteen Balkan disco grooves spiked with sparkling spacewise synths, cosmic guitar licks and dubbed basslines for the connoisseurs. Fans of Lindstrom, Ilija Rudman or Todd Terje should have a peek.

God[s] of the universe, this 'god' doesn't look like a human at all, It has special features/attributes to its look, and it is obviously other-worldy.. this god is the universe's founder and is not what christians/muslims/jews believe, and more of like Hinduism or Zeke (did I misspell that?). But personally it's not even that either, but humans will never ever find out if the God exists or not because it won't reveal itself ever, it likes to play with it's "toys" of the universe. But maybe one day, but not on this planet for sure--no 'God' is ever gonna come storming down to Earth ever, but maybe some day out there in the universe, but for now we won't know. I mean there were the Mythological deities, but was there truly any evidence they actually had contact with Earth? This is the beauty of Deities... so mythological...
So one day the God of the universe may contact all the planets and make a message, or even Extraterrestrials doing that instead---for now we won't know since this could not even happen in our life time, maybe in the next. I might die--and go live on another planet with another life, or I will go to the Heaven or Hell of the universe, we'll see. But we know for sure, there is no eternal blackness. BTW - I am not religious, but heaven or hell isn't on Earth, it's above and below in outer space.
But personally, I STILL believe I am going to live another life on a different planet as a different species, so yeah this is what I believe and we can't know for sure until we die.
Hell, this could be what God looks like.
- and then 'God' takes on any form it wants to take.
edit: I'd laugh if all those Ancient Aliens guys were right all along, LMFAO. xD

In the '40s, '50s and '60s, the free-spirited and bohemian anti-jetset all placed their faith in one magazine: Holiday. This alternative travelogue was a cult bible among those seeking an edgier take on the world beyond their borders, and in its heyday featured contributions from such literary luminaries as Jack Kerouak and Ernest Hemingway, and photographic savants Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa. Now, some 37 years after the last issue was published, a team of passionate fans have resurrected the title for a new era.
Led by Franck Durand – French art director for Balmain, Isabel Marant and Zanotti, no less – the new, reinvigorated incarnation of Holiday will be launching at Parisian über-boutique colette on April 5 and will feature a mixture of travel journalism, photography, fashion and other lifestyle editorial around the theme of "69." Get a sneak peek of what's inside via the exclusive photos above or pick up a full a copy ahead of your next trip from their official website.
