Pragmatic IT: April 2015
http://technopragmatica.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
IT Infrastructure and Software Development from the Customer's Perspective. Sunday, 26 April 2015. DNS with DD-WRT and dnsmasq. I recently switched ISPs. I had been a broadband customer for 15 years with the same ISP. I had a fairly complicated home network with a few routers, one of which provided DHCP and DNS. Between my network and the ISP’s, I had a simple ADSL modem with no additional functionality (i.e. no built-in wireless or router). For the new network, I disconnected the WAN port and hooked the...

Work-flow for a Data Centre Relocation. Update: Check out the visual representation of this post here. Another tab was the list of servers, and the method by which they would be moved. We had a ...

IT Infrastructure and Software Development from the Customer's Perspective. Monday, 29 September 2014. Definitive Guide to Recovering from a Full Disk. Cheap, stingy guy that I am, I allocate really small system partitions to my Ubuntu servers. This means that periodically my disk fills up. It fills up because every kernel upgrade takes a fair amount of space, and old kernels aren’t cleaned out automatically. Unfortunately, the disk usually fills up when trying to do an upgrade, so. First, I have to make...

Pragmatic IT: August 2012
http://technopragmatica.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
IT Infrastructure and Software Development from the Customer's Perspective. Sunday, 19 August 2012. As of about three weeks ago I'm using Linux Mint 13 with the Cinnamon desktop. I don't even know what half of that means. I'm just doing what comes up by default. It's nice to be back to a desktop that works for content producers - not that I produce that much content. Edit: Cinnamon runs fine on a low-powered computer like a Dell Vostro 1440, but don't try to use Chrome. Links to this post.

La Vida de Larry Reid: Chile Merece Mejor
http://lavidadelarryreid.blogspot.com/2010/06/chile-merece-mejor.html
La Vida de Larry Reid. Lunes, 7 de junio de 2010. Según un amigo mío en Twitter, un tipo que finge ser embajador de Chile en Argentina declaró en el Clarín. Que la mayoría de los chilenos no sintieron la dictadura de Pinochet. Los chilen@s que conozco son mil veces más inteligente que este burrócrata (no es error de ortografía), y merecen mejor de sus representantes. 191;Qué sé yo de Chile? Del pueblo chileno al proyecto de más dictadura de Pinochet. Pero ni modo, porque la historia dirá que los verdader...

IT Infrastructure and Software Development from the Customer's Perspective. Thursday, 27 February 2014. Relocating Another Data Centre. The project was successful in the end. I have to say that there were a number of lessons learned, which goes to prove that no many how many times you do something, there's always something more to learn. Despite our best efforts, we all, across the three organizations, had to devote significant efforts to satisfy our own organization's needs. It's worth noting that m...

IT Infrastructure and Software Development from the Customer's Perspective. Sunday, 30 September 2012. Cinnamon Performance - It was Chrome's Fault. I've written lately about my struggles with sluggish Ubuntu and Mint desktops. Finally, I discovered that Chrome was the problem. At one point in my ramblings, I recommended using Mate instead of Cinnamon. Well, I'm happy to report that my slow Dell Vostro 1440 runs Cinnamon just fine, as long as I'm not running Chrome. Links to this post. SMB 10 protocols u...

IT Infrastructure and Software Development from the Customer's Perspective. Friday, 24 January 2014. Time Zone in Rails. There’s pretty good info out there about using time zones in Rails, and Rails itself does a lot of the heavy lifting. The Railscast. Pretty much covers it. It’s only missing a discussion of using Javascript to figure out the client browser’s time zone. Time Zone from the Browser. To get the time zone from the browser, use the detect timezone rails. This added the time zone, appropriate...
