So;
These last few days I have been busy fixing up some scripts,backup systems and getting my life happy and in order :)
Picking up a shiney new server tonight hopefully :) I am so excited i might pee heh.
I confirmed my decision to turn back to Christ Jesus many times these last few days as He has shown me in so many wonderful ways in my life.
Installed/playing with SubSonic at the moment as a replacement for Snackamp/remote stream/viewer works wonderfully. Took a few hours to sync/search everything but its working nicely now :)
Looking at purchasing some more kitchen/useful stuff in the future but its on the to do list.
Working this weekend :( but hey, can't complain considering my lack of work recently and what I am working on
Peace.

Hey;
So lately been kinda busy with my thoughts and my personal life dealing wiht things that have comeup.. finally gotten around to cleaning my van :D heh so much cleaner now;
Anywho , finally ftp issues are fixed I hope.. so many open ports :\
migrating things over to varnish cache system which is speeding sites up and also the bandwidth uses of those sites.
Hopefully to see, our current backup system will be overhauled and our bandwidth useage reduced. :D
More to come later :)

So;
I have been busy again :) I finally was able to map out my nagios network, and setup sms/email alerts :D yay :D now I will know within 5mins or so If something dies/gets overloaded :) Anywho;
Today my plan was to clean my van up however that hasn't happed to well heh, most of my time was taking up getting new brakes for my car/installing them.
I then proceeded to my mates place and then to a carwash via an atm hunt... So below (i hope) are photos of my clean lovely car :) not only on the outside is it clean but this time on the inside to :D awesome stuff :) heh
Heh been a while since i blogged.. turns out i forgot my user/pass :| ugh
Finally did the big deployment of a clients server /migration and to be honest im really pleased with the result, things are a little bit faster for the users but more importantly, the computers are updating and av is wokring well. :)
Few glitches as always but hey what doesn't glitch :|
Finally I think the server issues Have been solved, few reboots/fsck's later the problem seems to have gone away :) yay. - I think.
I haven't really played with much lately as I have wrapped myself up in my work / my own head which isn't to good.. but on the plus side.. my church's site is almsot done :) St Barnabas Ingleburn I hope it will go Live for Sunday so that we can all be like YAY new site :) w00tage.. heh :) anywho more on that later..
So;
Once again I have wiped my blog slate clean to "focus" on more technical data and apps.
Lately I have been overloaded with things just falling apart on a general level, I have slowly been putting the peices back together and in that process I have come accross a wonderful system call Nagios (wwww.nagios.org), combined with the windows "client" I have managed to setup a complete monitering system.
In that process I have learnt that to setup email notifcatoin.. it will probably fail and not work at all so at this stage I have only web monitoring hwoever it has already proved more useful then I have thought.
I have used a varity of websties in building my nagios setup, however the main resources I have used has been the Nagios PDF Manual and a blogpost from 2008," How to Moniter Remote Linux hosting Using Nagios"
Which has Proved Invaluable in setting up Nagios consistantly accross the board.
The next stages of the impletation for me is getting email notifcation to work,possibly sms as well but most importantly getting the rest of my windows hosts monitering constatly rather then intermitantly.
More to come on this subject..
Mail Glitches, Ever had a problem where you were "sending" mail but it never arrived? Happened to me the other day, eventually I found the problem was caused my sendmail and vmware dancing around dhcp/dns issues which caused me considerable pain. Needless to say it is now fixed shiney and working.. Spam filtering though is another kettle of fish at the moment.
As I currently survive on minimal cash and finances I have Noticed I have tons more time to do things.. but I tend to leave them as usual for a long peroid of time need way more motivation for that to happen.. Urgh

More to come later :)
