A blog about presentation and information design. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. June 20, 2012. You may be directed to this site by me, only to find there are not too many updates. Some parents out there will laugh at the following, but I thought I could keep a new website up to date while working a full time job and having a son. This proves to be a bit more complicated, as Lukas is an active guy keeping me quite busy, especially as a stay-home-dad. June 20, 2012. April 30, 2012.

http://babbaging.blogspot.com/2008/06/processing-nagios-status-data-part-1.html
Tinkering around with computers. Sunday, 29 June 2008. Processing Nagios Status Data - part 1. I've been tinkering with Processing. Of late, and having a lot of fun with it. After finding the awsome traer physics library. Implementation of force directed graph layout, I thought I would see if could visualise the status data from Nagios. Is an Open Source host, service and network monitoring program). I wrote a utility to extract the data I wanted from Nagios, and output an xml file. The demo isnt working...

babbaging: Dear future self
http://babbaging.blogspot.com/2010/08/dear-future-self.html
Tinkering around with computers. Saturday, 14 August 2010. I found myself involved in a project which uses Nagios and Splunk to monitor IT infrastructure, and needed to know how to pass syslog messages from a Debian box to Splunk. Of course I Googled, and to my surprise I found my own post in nagios-users, from over 3 years ago. With exactly the same issue, albeit with older versions of the same software. I guess it a testement to Nagios, it's still a great product, still very relevant. Two Ideas for a B...

babbaging: Error creating gateway
http://babbaging.blogspot.com/2008/04/error-creating-gateway.html
Tinkering around with computers. Wednesday, 9 April 2008. If you use ESX. You may also use. To backup VMs. Consider doing so, it's great. If you are already and you start getting backup failures, with ' Error creating gateway. In the log, check to see if someone has changed the root password on the ESX hosts. If the password has changed, you need to go into Configuration/VMware Hosts/. And update the password, for each vmware host. I speant a good few of hours figuring that out. :(. Eulogy for a Dinosaur.

babbaging: Transparent Android icons
http://babbaging.blogspot.com/2010/09/transparent-android-icons.html
Tinkering around with computers. Wednesday, 1 September 2010. I have an Android phone and I wanted to create some new icons. Inspired by various Andoid themes on xda-developers. I wanted text only icons. I started whipping up icons in Photoshop, but it was a pain to try new fonts (yes I know PS has scripting.). So I created a python script to generate a series of icons and zip them up. The script uses Python Image Library. To render separate transparent PNG files. But settled on DroidSans.

babbaging: Excel's short comings
http://babbaging.blogspot.com/2010/04/excels-short-comings.html
Tinkering around with computers. Tuesday, 20 April 2010. I used to be somewhat of an Excel fanboy. Probably because I have found it to be entirely useful throughout my career (similarly I was a Lotus 1-2-3 fan too.). However, the more I use Excel, and push it, the more I find what it cannot do. Here, listed in no particular order, are my top three Excel 2007 disappointments. 1 No Median function in pivot tables. Why has Median been left out? 2 Cannot record chart formatting macros. 3 Perhaps this is a fe...

babbaging: Kinetic scrolling with Processing - part1
http://babbaging.blogspot.com/2008/12/kinetic-scrolling-with-processing-part1.html
Tinkering around with computers. Tuesday, 30 December 2008. Kinetic scrolling with Processing - part1. I've been toying with an idea for a timeline based project; it hasn't got much traction. I did give the interface some thought and decided to try and implement a kinetic scroller. It's pretty difficult to find a definitive explanation of Kinetic Scrolling or Flick Scrolling, but I think this pretty much sums it up:. Caused the scrolling involves some sort of flicking gestures. ". This comment has been r...
