Seems pretty sweet so far, but my days with FastCGI are over before they ever really began, that think is kinda a pile of poop, mongrel seems to do the job for now, will need to see if I can make it work.

Found this on the Apache mailing list: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-users/200601.mbox/%3c8C29B2F93BAE9047A906EF6D6F9C5D43012FA245@exchange2k301.gaia.fr%3e

Looks like I am having a problem setting up my proxy that other people get too. I have mongrel working on it’s own, just not with apache :(

Since my primary use case here is to keep a log of my own development explorations, so having code syntax highlighting and the ability to show command line type blurbs are needed.

Here is what I am thinking, just need to find a way to make this happen with SimpleLog. http://code.google.com/p/syntaxhighlighter/

Here is a nice investigation of syntax highlighting, http://blog.reindel.com/2007/09/06/beautify-your-blogs-code-samples-with-these-syntax-highlighters/

Well anyone who is worth their oats is running raid right?

I guess that depends on your definition of anyone, what a bunch of nub sauces. Ok so it’s my first real attempt at doing it, I only have two disks and most of my media however much I may not think so right now is disposable.

Compile a new kernel since Theo leaves raid out by default:

$ cd /usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/conf/
$ cat /usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/conf/GENERIC.MP.RAID

  # $OpenBSD: GENERIC.MP,v 1.8 2007/01/27 22:48:01 kettenis Exp $
  include "arch/amd64/conf/GENERIC.MP"
  option          RAID_AUTOCONFIG         # Automatically configure RAID at boot
  pseudo-device   raid            4       # RAIDframe disk driver
  
$ config GENERIC.MP.RAID
$ cd ../compile/GENERIC.MP.RAID
Don't forget to run "make depend"
$ make clean && make depend && make
.... magic ....
$ su -
Password:
# make install
rm -f /obsd
ln /bsd /obsd
cp bsd /nbsd
mv /nbsd /bsd

Here is the exceprt from the OpenBSD 4.2 manpage, that brings it home:

I stumbled across a site that was using Amazon for their storage of files, and was very suprised to read and find out just how cheap these services appear to be…

Go to RMV once you have insurance and take the test. Everybody complains that the test is difficult, the only part that seemed hard was identifying the signs with the middles taken out, take some time to look at the back of the study guide( a round yellow sign is railroad crossings)

Tuning NFS performance really requires that a set of performance baselines to tell if you are doing any good, so that is really where this needs to start.

Why is it that so many developers are immediately defensive when they are told that they should try to change the way they operate. When a construction worker is given a better hammer or a automatic nail gun they are quick to realize the benefits via immediate feedback and are able to assimilate the new tools into there jobs, assuming they are not state workers, they do not complain that they could nail plywood 5x faster or that they are less strained at the end of the day. However when I tell a developer that there are changes to their current practices that they can take to improve I am immediately met with a defensive posture. I do not enjoy placating developers and the hours listening and nodding my head agreeing that they are smart and their knowledge and experience is are useful. These experiences are useful, I will assume that your developers do not suck, and it is hard for a person to listen to you shatter their school of thought whether you have a logical explaination or not and not feel personally attacked.

Ok so I have lots of files… I can’t be responsible for keeping weird characters and spaces out of all of them can I?

So what is a space using loser like me to do, well after penance, jump through hoops to make it work.

So naively expecting this to work, instead I get this crap.

So contorting my leg behind my head I type this, and voila.

First and foremost the documentation here is pretty good so take a pass through the basic information at CLM 4.0.4 Information Center. I would recommend you familiarize yourself with the basic concepts of Jazz SCM if you have not, first read through the overview¹ then confirm you understand the core concepts:

• Jazz “workspace” vs Eclipse “workspace” - Workspaces and Sandboxes
• stream vs workspace - Streams and components
• remote workspace vs local workspace - Workspaces and Sandboxes
• Understand what changesets are - Changesets
• Understand how changes flow - Changesets and Change Flow

This article is strictly focused on a the slightly more complex scenario beyond your happy path accept and deliver scenarios, where you have conflicts. Check out the Information Center for an introductin here Change flow, conflict detection, and conflict resolution, but honestly this is pretty light for the material this post is meant to extend upon this a bit more for the various clients.

So I’m late to the OpenStack party but I have been playing with VirtualBox, KVM, ESXi, qemu, and other virtualization technologies for a while now and have a few of each running here and there. I primarily live in the development side of the house, but with the proliferation of agile, continuous integration, and now everyone moving to the continuous delivery type model being able to stand up infrastructure is the next major bottleneck for most development teams.

Looking to automate the setup and deployment of some pretty complex stuff here. Many organizations have reached a level of complexity that they need to support and enterprise service bus(ESB) and various messaging systems are used to support this type of architecture. Here we will look at integrating some opensource technologies and IBM UrbanCode Deploy¹ to setup a development toolchain that can support management and goverance of assets through your delivery pipeline.

Monitoring here consists of three stock standard linux tools dstat, iostat, and pidstat I won’t even pretend that I know how to do this on Windows, but I imagine they have some equivalent, feel free to comment and educate me, but I don’t have the cycles to do the play around with Windows as well.

The dstat tool is a consolidated replacement for a few previous tools that did each task, so to simplify it is a good starting point to help us cover our system level monitoring, and pidstat. Let’s walk through some quick examples of each.
