On the other hand, it fixes a ‘problem’ with Shutter and I think this is … Continue reading “Fix The Application Menu For Shutter”
For such a minimal thing, there are some strong opinions about Shutter. Me? I love Shutter. I love Shutter, warts and all.

Today’s article is one my regulars will be expecting, as it is an article that teaches you how to kill processes by their PID (Process ID).

It has been a while since I’ve done a meta post, a post about how the site is doing and some general commentary. I try to do one every couple of months, as it’s nice to be transparent and they’re relaxed articles to write. They’re handy articles when you have time constraints!
