Parent process forked.

Lol thought it would be appropriate, being that the nature of this blog is for talking about programming and stuff geeky, that I would label this post Parent process forked.

¹ Fork is nothing but a new process that looks exactly like the old or the parent process but still it is a different process with different process ID and having it’s own memory. Parent process creates a separate address space for child. Both parent and child process possess the same code segment, but execute independently from each other.

On October 11, 2015 our beautiful daughter Valentina has entered our lives. I can’t even explain the joy that this little lady has brought. ;^)

Coming soon is a little academic exercise that I’ve been working on to duplicate Linux/Unix’s split command. I will be attempting this in different programming languages (ruby, golang, haskell, etc). The goal is to see if I can gain better performance as well as a better understanding of different programing languages. What better way than with a little exercise like this.

Sorry Vale in advance, your old man is hella geeky.
