Eating some Nagios

Posted: 13 August 2004 at 02:32:54

Oh, it gets so late so quickly!

PLUG/PM

Last night I went to the PLUG meeting and it was awesome. There was a Perl Mongers get-together before that. It was the first official meeting of what is likely to become the Northern Utah Perl Mongers. It was nice to see some people come out who had little or no experience with Perl.

At the PLUG meeting, Ned Hanks presented on Nagios and it rocked. I wrote my own monitoring and reporting system from scratch a couple years ago... and that was a rewrite of something else I wrote. Nagios is probably 3-400% of what I have developed and it’s supported by a user community. I’ll be moving everything over to Nagios very soon now.

Just a reminder

Big Sons Of Nothing show coming up on Saturday. Be there (if you can)!

A near miss with two storms

Florida and the southeast coast are getting battered right now by a couple of tropical storms/hurricanes. Yesterday, I got a call asking if I’d be willing to teach a Linux system administration next week in Orlando.

I checked my schedule and it wasn’t the best because I was supposed to head up to Washington state with Sons Of Nothing for a couple shows on Thursday and Friday, but I need the money, so I made arrangements for my good friend (and brother-in-law) Adam to cover for me with the band so I could fly down to Orlando for a week of Linux instruction.

Then, this morning, I found out the class had been cancelled. Perhaps the facility is likely to be underwater on Monday?

Oh well.

So, now I’m back on track for going to Washington with the band and I’m happy about that.

I just won’t be able to buy that new digital camera I’ve been scoping out. ;-)
