Fundraiser Day 6 - Part 1 - HowTo PostedDay 6 of the fundraiser.. Last night we reached our goal of $6,000 raised (!). Thank you to everyone who donated. That's enough to pay for a full year of our deluxe hosting for the site. As we did two years ago during the last fundraiser, we've extended the range of the thermometer and will keep going for the remainder of March -- hoping to break $10k. We could definitely use the extra money -- for hosting costs beyond the next year, to distribute the software coders on the site, to pay for the fun things we give away (each year we spend almost $700 just sending out mugs to the participants in our NANY programming challenge). I hope you will join us if you haven't already (if you have donated during the fundraiser, why not post to this thread and say hello). For today's fundraiser release, DC member timns (famous creator of the awesome Head in the Clouds web comic) has posted an interesting How To guide for "Using Skype to Monitor Remote Systems". We provide a little network of servers that host several web services with various API's. Obviously, as part of this we have to offer support and are committed to fairly aggressive SLA's. In order to help with this, I decided to implement a continual monitoring system to alert us of any systems falling over in our little farm. Being on a limited budget and an inveterate code tinkerer, I set up a little project to see if I could rustle something up. As far as I am aware, this is a novel approach to real-time systems monitoring. A sort of "poor man's Tivoli" if you like. I tend to avoid anything that reminds me of a phone, but I have recently come to appreciate the value of skype as a tool for collaboration over long distances. |
