My janky Nagios configuration



DNS are up... the check_dns command is working but they drop ICMP so Nagios still shows down.

I need to spend a lot more time with Nagios2 then I'll try nagios3

Spending time in OpenSolaris

I'm still really excited to spend time with ZFS and OpenSolaris but my install was old... looks like upgrading is easier these days.

Having no idea what to try I found this online
sudo pkg set-publisher -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev opensolaris.org

eseale@opensolaris:~$ sudo pfexec pkg image-update
WARNING: pkg(5) appears to be out of date, and should be updated before
running image-update.

Please update pkg(5) using 'pfexec pkg install SUNWipkg' and then retry
the image-update.

a lesson from the sand

,

Do not be cheap when your health is at stake.

I spent a week on a houseboat in the middle of a desert. Hiking, chatting, and swimming every day. Really a good experience. I used SPF rated shirts which kept me cool and dry in the 90F to 100F weather. Protection from the Sun is critical.

My dermatologist recommends shiseido sunblock for UV-B protection.

I thought I'd use bullfrog on my neck arms and ears since it's cheap and already on the boat.

Surprise Surprise I'm allergic to that garbage and now my ears and arms look like a poison ivy outbreak.

Luckily I have prescription antihistamines which reduce the pain and burning.

I'm going to have some new scars on my arms because of this mistake.

Windows UX

Why is UX such a mess on Windows?

What is the point of having a big window if the logs at the bottom are confined to 3 lines.

Nonsense!
