========

Usage:

* Start 2 iex shells via ```iex --name "foo" -S mix``` and ```iex --name "bar" -S mix```

* Connect the two(only on one shell): ```Node.ping(:"[email protected]")``` (replace nebuchadnezzar with the hostname shown on the other shell)

* Verify 'pong' is returned

* Start the GenEvent-Server on shell 1: ```{:ok, pid} = GenEvent.start_link()```

* Register the eventhandler globally on shell 1: ```:global.register_name(:gen_event, pid)```

* On Shell one: Register: ```GenEvent.call(pid, Server, {:register, self()})```

* On Shell two:

  * Find the remote PID ``` pid = :global.whereis_name(:gen_event)```

  * Register: ```GenEvent.call(pid, Server, {:register, self()})```

* Send a message from any of the shells: ```GenEvent.notify(pid, {:message, "test"})```

* Flush the local mailbox on the two shells: ```flush()```
