No. I personally do enjoy engineering tasks. As an ops guy though I find I look at things a bit differently and often end up as a resource for the programmers to help them understand how to fit their apps into our existing infrastructure. I

I'm just saying though, you have to record the ip in order to provide that functionality, especially for searches over time. So are they recording the ips then dumping them after x amount of time? That's different than what they c

How do you only capture ips for automated queries? Do you mean you're really logging all ips then scrubbing them after a certain amount time?

I'll be adding some more sources soon. Streamified needs to be added back. Also considering a few other sources like Hacker News, Youtube and maybe Flickr. Overall switching from Python (Tornado) to Go was a pretty good experience. Onc

judging by some of the other comments I think people believe sysadmins can and have been replaced by heroku, aws and such.

glad I wasn't the only one who had that as a first thought. as an ops guys I wasn't sure if I should be offended or just shake my head at the irony of it.

I put some time into it a couple years ago before my 2nd kid was born. I've always wanted to go back and work on making it a bit easier to use. One of the things I'd love to do is get rid of it being so tied to request handlers so you can u

wow, these results and the performance of go is making me consider rewriting my tornado app again. I just put off doing it in order to build more stuff in to the python version. Maybe I'll reprioritize.

If you're looking for a more full stack framework in python, tornado has had support for oauth since it's release. It's implementation does rely on the tornado ioloop though, so it's not something you can easily just pull and use elsewhere.

Not sure I see the point for yet another interface on top of mail for Linux. I suppose evolution is ugly enough something might be able to supplant it as a default. However, the lack of Outlook in a corporate environment is the real pain po

Sweet, looks like something I could really dig into for unscatter.com I'm curious, are you proxying apis or crawling and keeping the information local to serve?

I agree to an extent, and I do use Google a lot when programming. However, I'm a systems administrator by trade and not a programmer. I have been in cases when I've wanted to write code in a cabin in Nova Scotia with no internet and wasn't

blekko allows you to do this with their feature to create your own slashtags. for unscatter.com I took the approach of using other sites apis but the caveat being I never intended it to compete with Google or bing or the like as it's result

You can over optimize for speed too though. One of the past designs I had for unscatter.com was to start pre rendering the base page and then loading in results. The idea being get something in front of the user as soon as possible. Over al

Redhat is supposed to support it with version 7. I believe Oracle already supports it. iirc Suse isn't supporting all the features yet, such as compression. I really tried to go zfs for enterprise nfs at work and have decided to wait until
