Musings of a wanderer: June 2015

http://musingsbytrinath.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Musings of a wanderer. I am not here to make a difference. Instead,I would sum it up for you. So that it is easy to tread. Knowing what I went through. Monday, June 29, 2015. I have said it a million times, pleading. My ignorance on almost everything. I have said it a million times. With a shrug of my shoulders to. Shirk off any responsibilities. But the one that I have in mind now. Is a different kind of "I don't know". This one flies on mighty wings. Of knowledge and curiosity and. Links to this post.

Musings of a wanderer. I am not here to make a difference. Instead,I would sum it up for you. So that it is easy to tread. Knowing what I went through. Tuesday, December 16, 2014. No There are no proper guidelines. Not even bright cautions on the sidelines. The sidewalks of this lonely road. Are full of dead and discarded toad. Creatures of all kinds who took trips. Lie still doing their best, in reality's grips. They lie in their luckiest of suits. With shine and polish on their boots. Links to this post.

May 30, 2011. Use vxperf2 to Analyze Text Databases. 1st July, 2011. GitHub is the new home of vxperf2. Download vxperf2. In my job I daily have to deal with many different kinds of logs, mostly generated by OS monitoring utilities, and I never found a single tool that summarizes and visualizes data from all those logs. e.g. Spreadsheets are great for typeperf logs on Windows, ksar. For sar logs on Linux, and Esxplot. For esxtop logs on ESX. But I don't know of one tool that works well for all of them.

November 14, 2011. New Version of Anti-patterns Parser. I have a new version of the anti-patterns parser. 1 Rules Library: Anti-patterns rules have been moved out of the parser to an external file. Users can therefore add, modify and delete rules to the library without the inconvenience of having to touch the parser. This can also help individuals customize and eliminate false negatives that the parser usually catches (while being generic). And Programming Anti-patterns in Shell. Because of the addition ...

June 23, 2011. The Fuss About Programming Anti-patterns. I came across in my limited experience in fact fall under bug fixes. Whether it is because the solution wasn't designed well enough or wasn't implemented well enough. Poorly performant, and such feelings get mixed up and get slower to perceive as the thickness (complexity) of a system increases. For this reason I like the approach of checking for known programming anti-patterns using static code analysis. Static code analysis may. I think it's wort...

I: Programming Anti-patterns in Shell Scripts

http://bsravanin.blogspot.com/2011/06/programming-anti-patterns-in-shell.html

June 09, 2011. Programming Anti-patterns in Shell Scripts. How to create a new file from inside a Shell script? Which of these is better? Touch" is a Unix command, "echo" and ":" (No-Op) are built-in Shell functions. If you "time" the above operations, you will see that the first is very much slower than the second is slightly slower than the third. I'll spare you the reasons. 1 Use environment and internal variables. (Like $HOSTNAME, $MACHTYPE, $PWD in Bash.). 6 Refer the manual. (Again.). Moving on to ...

April 30, 2009. Cybercafé Thanks to Indian Railways. It must have been at least two years since I visited a cybercafé. Yeah, about that. It didn't turn out that way. After all, it is I and not you in this situation. Even if it were you, cross your hearts and tell me, would six girls have ever listened to you? So here I am. After presenting an ID proof. Then I heard a woman come in and ask the guy sitting in front of me for five minutes of his computer time. Time is money, so he declined. I offere...Too b...

October 23, 2009. Traveling With a Soldier. On a recent train journey I sat beside a smiling man with a boyish face. I ignored him the way I ignore every other co-passenger. This time I read Laura Lippman's. While he asked me questions like "Where are you getting down? What time will this train reach that station? What do you do? To not come across as overly rude I too asked him what he did. Make up to 25000INR as salary. There is one other friend who joined CRPF when he joined Army. With their hapha...

December 29, 2009. Break It Like AP. Most of us will not forget the generosity of the samaritans for calling off their bandhs on Christmas eve despite the caustic fire in their bellies. Divined with omen, we all thankful souls rushed to the roads not to let go of this opportunity, to get some extra cash from the ATMs, to stock all essential grocery items, and to fill our vehicles with fuel.
