Experienced a weird problem with a fairly new OS 10.5 machine today. My boss had spent the past couple weeks configuring an install of 10.5 on an external FW drive (keeping the 10.4 install on the local drive so as not to disrupt work for days on end while configuring / installing apps) and the time [...]
Here is version 0.3 of servermonitor.py.
Added in this version is if a service has a history of going up and down there will be a toggle link to display the history of the services states. All the HTML that is loaded is pre-rendered and the js lib only does a GET and append to [...]
Since prakbot that I mentioned a while back may be dead (I can’t get to it anymore) I have found another Z-Machine gateway here. He has even put in a few features to make playing on a blackberry easier, such as being able to set the screen width to a custom value (e.g. 68 to [...]
Well that didn’t take long for me up get around and update the script to include a method to update the hash of a ConnectAndVerify service
Next step will be to look at the code I wrote and possibly refractor a few bits just to make sure I’m not duplicating code anywhere or doing things in a [...]
The problem with most server monitoring systems is they run from inside of your network, as such if there is a major outage past office hours where their monitor server is not capable of sending an alert email out (be it the mail server is down, or internet) you may not get the notification at the time of [...]
Been hanging with the guys at kracknet.net recently and they are a pretty good group of guys, so good in fact that they are offering free shell accounts with very liberal permissions on what you can do (basically no IRC bouncers / psybnc).
To get a free account ssh on over, with the username and password [...]
Here is a quick servoy server init script I wrote and use at work. It works pretty well on my debian based machines, although it may be a problem if you have other java apps running as it may catch the wrong PID. I could clean that up if i needed, but I personally don’t so if [...]

I know just one post and 15 miniutes ago I said that I didn’t have any plugins, well that was false. In fact I do use Akismet, Google XML Sitemaps and wp-cache. Good job at knowing my own system eh?
So now on top of that I have added wp-openid for your commenting pleasure.
I just updated this blog to wordpress 2.5 and I have to say so far I am impressed overall, but there are some major nagging points still with the visual editor. At least in safari when you put tags such as <p> and <br/> into the HTML mode of the editor, switch to visual mode, then switch [...]
