  • Pie Charts in TurboGears

    You might of looked at Ralph Bean’s tutorial on graphs and thought, that’s nice but I’d like something different.  The great thing about ToscaWidgets using the jqPlot library is that pretty much anything you can do in jqPlot, you can do in ToscaWidgets and by extension in TurboGears.  You want different graph types? jqPlot has…

  • procps-ng 3.3.7 Released

    procps-ng version 3.3.7 was released today.  It has some new and interesting features in the top program that Jim has been busy working on.  There is a new filter feature which can exclude fields that match a value for example. The remainder of the changes are small bug fixes and getting the compile warnings count…

  • python and rrdtool

    RRDTool is a neat utility for collecting and graphing statistics such as server loads or network traffic. There are two main modules for interfacing with RRDTool files within python; rrdpython and pyrrd. rrdpython is the basic bindings of the rrdtool library within python. The API is very familiar for people who program in C or…

  • What I learnt from LCA 2013

    Well I’m back from LCA 2013 and what a great week it was. I learnt plenty of things over the week, including: Cloud computing into the government will be coming but will be hard to do in a significant way It wasn’t just me that found the GTK 2 to 3 API change hard going…

  • Off to LCA2013

    While I’ve been involve in Linux and Debian for many (15 or more) years, I’ve only ever been to one “major Linux thing” in all that time and that was manning some stall for Debian about 10 years ago. Well, let’s call it two because next week I’m off to the Linux.conf.au 2013 conference. I…

  • Bootstrap – The hidden gem in Turbogears

    I’ve been trying to tidy up my Mako templates within my Turbogears 2 project.  As part of that I was looking at some of them that are quickstarted including one which is the About page. What was curious was there was all this CSS work all done already for you, including icons.  Digging further I…

  • Pre-selecting ToscaWidgets jqgrid values in TurboGears

    My Turbogears project has recently reached an important milestone; one of the back-end processes now runs pretty much continuously and the plugins it use (or at least the ones I can see) are also working.  That means I can turn to the front-end which displays the data the back-end collected. For some of the data…

  • procps 3.3.6 and Mudlet 2.0

    Yesterday was a busy Debian day for me with the release of not one but two packages. procps procps version 3.3.6 was released both as an upstream and a Debian package.  While there were many bug fixes in this release, the main new feature for it was the top inspect feature. The top inspect feature…

  • procps-ng 3.3.5

    Are you using procps 3.3.4?  My suggestion is you don’t! An API change slipped through which mean if you tried to run procps 3.3.5 on libproc 3.3.4 it did strange things. One of those strange things is ps ax crashes. Top looked rather interesting as well.  This in turn upsets the boot sequence around mounting…

  • More spam from nobistech.net

    I get a lot of spam.  Most of it, thankfully is blocked by dspam but occasionally i get some through the filter.  One that particularly caught my eye was interesting not so much what it was advertising (I don’t read that part of the email) but where it came from and goes to. Normally there…
