Playing with Play Framework and Plivo. Sat 01 December 2012. One of the interesting things about Scala. Is how well it composes. This is the primary "Scalable" in Scalable Language. I'm writing this up to share my experience and track my progression in a partially contrived but interesting example. So I'm playing around with Plivo. Which is a telecoms IaaS web service (similar to Twilio), and the Play! It uses a RESTful. API, and we want to make sure the API callbacks are authentic. HMAC. Comprehension a...

Goodbye Wordpress, hello Pelican - Kev009.com
http://kev009.com/wp/2014/04/goodbye-wordpress-hello-pelican
Goodbye Wordpress, hello Pelican. Sun 06 April 2014. I spent some time converting my Wordpress blog over to Pelican. Overall, it wasn't effortless and required quite a lot of manual clean up of links and images. But, I'm a pack rat and want to preserve my writings even if they are dated or silly now, so I pressed on. Static blog generators seem so blindingly obvious in retrospect. Speaking of retrospect, I launched this blog over seven years ago. Crazy how time flies. Comments powered by Disqus.

Armed to the gills - Dell C6100 build out. Wed 18 December 2013. The fine folks over at ServeTheHome have done a fantastic job documenting the Dell C6100. This is a rather interesting system because:. It packs quite a bit of compute power into 2U for colocation. They are surprisingly cheap on the secondary markets. I'll lead you over to the ServeTheHome blog posts which deliver a nice overview:. Dell PowerEdge C6100 XS23-TY3 Cloud Server - 2U 4 Node 8 Sockets. Using info from the ServeTheHome forums, I b...

Reusable Pagination in Play! 2 - Kev009.com
http://kev009.com/wp/2012/12/reusable-pagination-in-play-2
Reusable Pagination in Play! Tue 04 December 2012. Mailing lists I've seen reference to the sample Computer Database. As a canonical example of paginating data. It's a good start but it's pretty specific to one data type. Follow along and we'll make a more general utility. If we think abstractly about paginating a web application using Model-View-Controller. A way to filter the dataset. A UI element for displaying the pagination and linking to others. A screen shot of what we will be creating. We get pre...

Zabbix 1.8.9 Debian Squeeze Backport. Wed 18 January 2012. I was beginning to get hit by many bad things in the Debian Squeeze zabbix. 182 package. If you aren't aware, zabbix is a nifty data center monitoring system and is only slightly annoying compared to most other systems which are very annoying to set up and use. Most notably, this package will safely run on PostgreSQL 9.1 from squeeze-backports. And contains many performance improvements. It should be a drop in upgrade for the distro package.

GUNNAR Optiks Computer Glasses Review. Tue 19 July 2011. As one might expect from a computing professional, I spend a lot of time in front of LCD screens. This is coupled to the modern assault of Compact Florescent Lights (CFL). These are both heavy on the blue spectrum. Depending on what you read and believe [1], this can have a number of health implications. Amber tint reduces blue shift as expected. Comfortable frame. No problems here, I could wear the frames all day. Magnification. Deal breaker&#...

No Nonsense Logging in C (and C ). A lot of times people do zany things and try and reinvent wheels when it comes to programming. Sometimes this is good: when learning, when trying to improve state of the art, or when trying to simplify when only Two-Ton solutions are available. For a current daemon project I need .
