I’ve shuffled some domains around, using less of enc.com.au and more of my new domain dropbear.xyz The website should work with both, but the primary domain is dropbear.xyz Another change is my Jabber ID which used to be csmall at enc but now is same username at dropbear.xyz I think I have done all…
Today I have pushed all (or hopefully all) the required differences in the source files to change the name of the project. Originally it was called Rosenberg NMS, named after a lizard or heath monitor that lives in this parts. The name was cute but cumbersome. I’ve cut it down now to just RoseNMS with…
For weeks my Galaxy Tab 10.1 has reasonably consistently gone into safe mode. Not booting into it but I’d use it fine then put it away and next time I looked at it, Safe Mode was there. It wasn’t every time, but averaged to be about every second time. So the first thing was a…
While the website might of been idle there has been a great deal of work behind the scenes (unless you’re looking at github) updating and improving RoseNMS, the python based Network Management System. The code has had a great many changes including: Updating the TurboGears based code to 2.3.2 Simplifying the admin back to TG…
The Debian package of WordPress version 3.9.1 was uploaded to the ftp master recently. While the update was pretty simple, the upload took a lot more doing. I’m not sure why the Debian ftp-master server didn’t like me, but it was so slow. Strangely, even dcut uploads were slow and they are only a few…
This one had me stumped for a while: # -*- coding: utf-7 -*- import datetime from sqlalchemy import ForeignKey, Column from sqlalchemy.types import Integer, Unicode, Boolean, DateTime default_due_date = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(days=30) Syntax error found on last line. Hmm, bring up a python interpreter and type the last line in with the imports. Works fine.…
I did a large upgrade tonight and noticed there was a mutt upgrade, no biggie really….Except my I have for years (incorrectly?) used the “i” key when reading a specific email to jump back to the list of emails, or from index to pager in mutt speak. Instead of my pager of mails, I got…
WordPress 3.8.2 was released yesterday which contains some important security fixes. This is an important security release and the Debian packages were uploaded to the ftp-master a few minutes ago. Besides fixing Debian Bug #744018, the release fixes the following two vulnerabilities (as mentioned in the bug report): CVE-2014-0165 WordPress privilege escalation: prevent contributors from…
I’m not sure if it is just a bad motherboard, cable, USB device or just bad luck, but when I reboot the computer the UPS doesn’t appear. It’s not even seen in lsusb and of course that makes nut-server fail which makes nut-client complain that it cannot work out the UPS status.The solution was to…
More work has gone into the various GUI screens for RoseNMS. While still early days, these screenshots give an idea of the final program. The maps have been updated and now just use CSS for layout, rather than hard calculating the coordinates using javascript. This gives a cleaner and more fluid look to the maps.…
