Centralized logging and observability is not a new concept. Decades ago, at CompuServe, we had over 1000 machines running BSD/OS, and the idea of visiting each one to check machine health was laughable at best. Indeed, even just pulling the logs back for analysis was just as bad. So on each machine, syslog had lines like the following in the syslog.conf file:

What is it with spammers, crackers and the like? Before doing my previous post, I took a quick look at some comments left on a couple of posts which I had noticed a few days ago, but which were lower on my priority list.

I have been looking at tuleap for a personal Agile tool, to help me track tasks as I work on personal coding projects. For example, I might be working on a new version of a disk partitioning script to use with my kickstart installs, and come up with ideas I don't want to forget. So, to keep track of it, I have been creating tasks in Eclipse Mylyn using the stand-alone task list. But that list can be less than optimal, and it does not integrate with things like Jenkins, etc.
