At work, I’m experimenting with Maven as a way to manage java package builds
and dependencies.
The maven mirror documentation says pretty explicitly “Do not rsync the entire
repo” – it recommends the use of caching proxies. We can do this trivially …
At work today, I started investigating the latency differences for similar
requests between HTTP and HTTPS. Historically, I was running with the assumption
that higher latency on HTTPS (SSL) traffic was to be expected since SSL handshakes
are more CPU …

require “rubygems”

Logstash uses EventMachine, which is an event-driven library for Ruby. Part of
logstash’s requirements is the ability to watch logfiles like ‘tail -f’ would.
Previously, I was using File::Tail, but this was not EventMachine friendly.
Additionally, i…
While I wait for a mysql backup to replay against a test server, I was
wondering how far along the replay was.
I am building the database using this command:
% gzip -dc admin.sql.20100511.060001.gz| mysql -uroot -proot

For various projects I’m doing right now, I need an easy way to automatically
run code in an X server that may not necessarily be the active display. This code
may even run on servers in production that don’t have video cards or monitors
