After 5 years the end is really near. Don’t worry, nothing serious 😉 What was I doing? I tried to combine family life with small children, work and a part-time bachelor studies. So the last hurdles for me to become a Bachelor of ICT: finishing my thesis (or actually, refining it) finish last course Service Level Management by writing a Service Level Agreement and answer some questions for the last assignment finish the last practical assignment by creating a prototype .
Almost forgot that I have made a contribution to the Question2Answer plugin for LDAP-authentication. I need it to connect to MS Active Directory through LDAP and it did not work out of the box for me. After some tweaking I decided to fork the plugin on Github. They accepted my changes when I created a pull request, so that is cool.
So I’d like to introduce Stackoverflow-like functionality to my company network. It can support us internally, because we run a front-and back office team. But we also talked about integrating solutions like this into our own BI/MDM product: My Cloud Controls. We can buy us some of the functionality (from the cloud for instance, or outsource it otherwise), but at our place, we’d like to build or run our own servers.
A couple of years ago I was introduced to stackoverflow.com. That was quite an improvement over my frantic Google searches for IT related questions at the time. I did not like the experts-exchange site which was very popular back then. Long before that I even used old-school Usenet for asking and answering questions about IT topics. This was before it was primarily known as an alternative to file-sharing. The funny thing is it actually predates peer-to-peer file-sharing of course.
My work laptop has been running Windows 7 for a year. The funny thing is I never really used the OS for work. My development environment resides in a Virtualbox vm. The harddisk is a Samsung PM800 ssd and has been crawling to a halt since a couple of weeks. It has trim support and the firmware should support it(i checked it last year) but the write performance is … bad.
During the last two months I have been setting up Nagios as a side project. We have a lot of new customers coming in and we need to have a tight grip on our systems to satisfy service levels. So as I set up a Debian host to run Nagios on and was making progress in adding systems, I encountered several issues. One of them was the fact that I need to monitor several tcp ports that are utilized in the applications we are running in a JBoss container.
Welcome to my renewed site. I used to blog in the past as well, and I’d like to share some things again. This time, most of my ramblings will be work related. I hope I can help/inspire/amuse my readers!
