I feel like I just lost half my brain at the sheer stupidity of the reporter/report/insight.

I’m working on some new features for BlueBug and one of them is a bit of integration, for instance to link to a ClientExec support ticket you just do [ce]1234[/ce] where 1234 is the ticket ID. Each project can have it’s own CE URL. I’ve also done the same with GitHub so [git]commitID[/git] will open up the page for the commit.

Would anyone like to see more If so what program (if its commercial please give me an example URL).

On campus they use BlueSocket as a WIFI manager…. I got tired of waiting for the browser to load their nasty redirect page to login so I wrote a simple python script to automatically log me in, just execute and your good! (only tested on MAC)

After toying with the idea to use SVN (or possibly Git) I decided to try SVN and find a nice web interface that was easy to setup.

In comes WebSVN, which I thought would be easy to setup. Well I created the SVN repo following the instructions in the SVN book and had it up and running fine for my new server monitoring script.  Then I wanted to create a front-end to this repository (and for BlueBug once I made that one).

I looked at Chora but it was a bit more time than I wanted to spend on something simple, so I went with WebSVN. I uploaded the files, moved the distconfig.php to config.php and it looked as if it was working. After clicking on a repository I got a blank page.

Upon looking into the error log I found this lovely message:

[STDERR] XML error: no element found (3) at line 1 column 0 byte -1
cmd: svn –non-interactive –config-dir /tmp list –xml -r 1 ‘file:///home/bluescri/svn/mbm/’

Googling around a bit I found quite a few suggestions but none fixed the issue. For curiosities sake I did a svn –version and got

# svn –version
svn, version 1.1.4 (r13838)
   compiled Aug 21 2005, 20:56:55

apparently I was running an archaic version of SVN. Downloaded the latest version and installed it.

wget http://the.earth.li/pub/subversion/summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/latest/rhel-4/i386/subversion-1.5.1-1.i386.rpm

wget http://the.earth.li/pub/subversion/summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/latest/rhel-4/i386/neon-0.27.2-1.i386.rpm

wget http://the.earth.li/pub/subversion/summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/latest/rhel-4/i386/neon-devel-0.27.2-1.i386.rpm

rpm -Uvh *.rpm

# svn –version
svn, version 1.5.1 (r32289)
   compiled Jul 25 2008, 00:38:53

Bingo, upgraded.

And voila, it worked! Awesome looking SVN repo front end.

I’ve been writing a new program for monitoring servers ( I havn’t found one that was easy to setup and didn’t require some painful process to setup server / remote side ). It consists of the monitoring machine where all the remote servers report to. The remote servers run a simple PHP scripts every 5 minutes that reports to the monitor.

Here are a few screen shots, let me know if you’d like to see more or learn more.

Made a fresh look for BlueScripts, hope it’s a bit easier on the eyes now.

Updated the blog again with a new design and decided to re-do a bunch of my portfolio as it was a bit unorganized. More to come!
