Just finished my first Python script. It’s a Nagios plugin to check Dell hardware components via the omreport utility. It’s designed to be used client-side via NRPE (or check_by_ssh). Additional usage information can be found within the scripts docstrings as well as the --help option. Some gotchas: In some instances NRPE will not execute scripts that start with #!/usr/bin/env. In these instances you will need to specify the full path to python . The plugin expects a symlink of omreport in /usr/sbin, you may need to add one if the OMSA install script didn’t. I hard-coded the path...

- sleep in. - ride bikes with Melinda to Can’t Fail Cafe for a delectable brunch (bburrito w/mimosa). - carve pumpkins - watch Paranormal Activity That’s the ingredients for a great day. Happy Halloween everyone!

I haven’t seen this good of a movie in a while. Great acting by Chiwetel Ejiofor. Well done sir, well done.

Favorite quotes.  Some of these are “you had to be there” or  “you had to have read that” quotes – take’em or leave’em.

Okay, it's time for my first post. This site is first and foremost a personal repository. Giving me a central place to store links to both work and personal resources. It will also house some tutorials on topics for which web resources are scarce or incomplete. Furthermore, I plan to have a photo section where some of my personal shots will be housed; and with proper registration family and friend photos too! This is just the first post and the content is close to nonexistant at the moment. Check back soon as I will be adding more weekly.
