> If you figure out how to configure that well then just let me know! :-)YMMV too much for a howto. Sorry, you're on your own. Pointers areswitching the task to realtime non preemptable (and others to low andpreemptable), moving the window around regularly (especially revealingromantic wallpapers, photos of beaches or mountain resorts), and neverever try emulation (works well at start, but sandboxing leaks in theend, stopping the whole thing to a grinding halt). Signalshandling/sending is important too. Never SIGHUP, even if she does.Handle SIGILL gracefully. Always respond to SIGINT. If she sendSIGALRM too much, you might be SIGTSTPped but if handled well, you'llreceive a SIGCONT. You might also be accused of sending rogue SIGSEGVsignals. SIGKILL can occur to you, but you're much likely to receive aSIGTERM ("let's be friends"). If all goes well you might even SIGPIPEand eventually she could fork(), and then, pray not to have to handleSIGCHLD.
> Screw the C-j and C-k - just give me the girl! ;-)It doesn't work too much in the end. Noise on the line, packets getlost (hey, it's CSMA/CD), so you keys end up not being typed thatoften.Plus you end up receiving lots of priority interrupts and you know,it's preemptive multitasking, except for one task. And on taskcompletion, context backswitching doesn't work too well and you end upmessing your work.
Nice cocktails though.
(Now I'll hide that window before my beloved catches me spittingstupid misogynic jokes like this.)
