" A hint of Facebook’s importance in our universe was the rapt attention paid to last week’s F8 developer conference, where Mark Zuckerberg announced some earth-shattering changes to profile pages and some new buttons and such. Traffic for the WSJ.com live blog of the event trumped traffic for every other single blog post on the site that day. "


I like listening to the Adam Carolla podcast, http://www.adamcarolla.com/ACPBlog/category/podcast/

You might like his brand of humor or he might rub you the wrong way.

The others that I listen to - * Science Friday Audio Podcast - http://gpodder.net/podcast/59068 * The Naked Scientists Podcast - Stripping Down Science - http://gpodder.net/podcast/11153


For other humor: The Joe Rogan Experience (humor, drug talk, alt realities, etc. http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-joe-rogan-experience/...

The Lavender Hour - comedians Natasha Leggero and Duncan Trussel. The ep A Tea with Reggie Watts and Hairy Gold are mind trips. http://lavenderhour.com/ (horrendous webpage) http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lavender-hour/id35058...

Mohr Stories (these give some great insight into Hollywood in general (the first two ep's), and tend to make me laugh out loud throughout. The Bert Kreischer ep is hilarious. http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mohr-stories-smodcast.com...

I also like Adam Carolla, but pick and choose based on the guest. Its hit or miss. The recent Teller ep was great. http://www.adamcarolla.com/ACPBlog/2011/07/29/penn-jillette/


Unlocked Nokia N900 allow you to do that. Available on Aamazon for $400. It runs maemo, but people are trying to port android over to it. I myself own the N900 and I am quite happy with it.

On a side note, I like the Nokia's hardware over Apple's.

I even used the SIM card from my iPhone in my N900, it doesnt get 3G (only 2.5G, due to At&t's lame network) but that doesn't matter to me since I use bandwidth intensive programs on WiFi anyway.

One problem with any auto-fix script is what if it goes berserk? What if your mail server is dying because of overload and the auto-fix keep restarting it? The overload will never clear out. If you go with the auto-fix solution, remember to add a throttle to the number of times it restarts a service.


A buddy of mine is on a holiday and asked me to monitor his pages for him. Little did I know that his goes off a bit more frequently than I like :) One of the problems I've traced back to a java process that hangs with some regularity. Because I don't want to go and mess with it beyond my current understanding of the system and the system seems to come back up reliably after restarting the service I figured that a quick & dirty way to guarantee a good nights sleep would be to auto-restart the process on failure to retrieve a url due to time-out or other connect issues.

Nagios will do the job but it's total overkill. Ideally a simple solution such as:

    ./monitor http://localhost:someport/ 60 "/etc/init.d/someservice restart" 
should do the trick (resource, checkinterval, action)


If you already know how Nagios works or have set it up previously, then you and your friend may be better off if you go with it even if it is "overkill". You could probably have it done in 20 minutes and when your friend gets back they'll have something standard and easy to maintain or extend.



@ScottWhigham , I fetch the entire page into the rss. The main idea was to be able to read the linked sites from my rss reader itself instead of clicking and going to the websites indivdually.


That's a great idea - dunno why I didn't think of that. Thanks :)


I used to read the "Ask *" topics, but I did not see too much in it (your mileage may vary :-) ), hence I am filtering it.
