Tip #551 My code is compiling
Simulate a never-ending compilation so you have an excuse for why you're browsing the net (see http://xkcd.com/303/):while true; do awk '{ print ; system("let R=$RANDOM%10; sleep $R") }' compiler.log; done
When you want to kill it, CTRL-C won't work. You have to suspend it (CTRL-Z) then kill the job (kill %1).
