Terminals and SSH

2016-04-26 fash Leave a comment

I’m using a lot of terminals, spawning a new terminal and running ssh, without knowing if i still have a session running.

Lets see:

This was done using something like:

#!/bin/bash
count=$(ps -ef | grep xterm | grep -v grep | wc -l)
timestamp=$(date +%s)
echo "$timestamp,$count" >> /var/local/terminallog

Later i made a script to push this information in Grafana

Now for the SSH part.
I’m jumping from machine to machine using ssh, sometime i loop back to a server i was already connected to .. this helps me to keep track

in ssh_config add
SendEnv SSHTRAIL

in sshd_config add
AcceptEnv SSHTRAIL

in /etc/profile
export SSHTRAIL=$SSHTRAIL:$HOSTNAME

restart sshd
when you do this on all your machines you can get a trail of ssh using:
echo $SSHTRAIL
workstation:server1:server66:server1

I could change the prompt when a loop is detected
echo $SSHTRAIL | sed -e 's/:/\n/g' | sort | uniq -c | grep -v 1 | ... | echo "WARNING: loop in ssh"

Kanban effectiveness graph generator

2016-02-17 fash

While attending a Kanban workshop, i needed to keep myself awake.
I’d hardly slept that night.

So i wrote something useful using PHP JPgraph and Sqlite, while attending the workshop.
It shows the effectiveness of the team using kanban.

Cork worldmap lasercut

UPDATE: 202304 street map Hilversum

In the weeks before Arja got her University degree, i’ve been working on a cork worldmap.
She always wanted to have a way to mark the places she has been.

So i started drawing, copy pasting, moving, potracing and editing.
Using Coreldraw and Inkscape i ended up with this:

End result:

So i made one for us too ..

Lasercut Xmas Cards

2015-11-19 fash

Using a lasercutter i’ve been making some wooden ornaments.

We send these as Xmas cards, so people can hang these in their tree afterwards.

We also used these for Advent Calendar decorations.

You can find the lasercut models attached

Brother printer hack’s

2015-04-25 fash

Cartridge not recognised?
Just replace chip! With a original one

UPDATE: Maybe there is a counter in there, had a cartridge which wouldn’t work anymore ?!?

Cartridge saying .. i’m empty, but still visible ink?

Just tape up above part!

Note: there are many solutions found on the web, like opening the lid and pressing two buttons to get into a reset menu. Or Cold start your printer without cartrides 5 times to reset stored ink levels.

These are only the things I found

Jumanji Screen

2015-01-01 fash Leave a comment

Vincent showed me a very beautiful “pruts” he made.
It was the Boardgame from Jumanji.
He asked someone from work to write software for the center display.

I really liked the idea, so i made my own version.

Vincents Jumanji Board, there is a Laptop behind the little glass circle

I’ve cleaned-up the code and my version is here.

The second page should play a mp3 sound sample, but there is a autoplay issue with some browsers. (I have fixed this on other projects, i will fix this later.

Making a lot of graphics for a book.

Protographing a bonsai we made (360 we made )

Coline is publishing a book for her thesis.

So we had to design Covers and graphics for this.

I used Scibus to make a mockup design.
The graphics in the book are made using Inkscape.

The book itself was written using Indesign.

Inkscape is perfect to create vector graphics. These can be resized to any resolution. So always perfect.
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_graphics
In the past i’ve used a program like sodipodi, there is something like it now integrated in Inkscape.
This is a tool to convert bitmap to vector graphics.
(Using a small jpg, i could convert it to vector graphics and print it in a huge size)

Inkscape work

Joe Mooney Summer School

2014-07-19 fash

UPDATE: 20230426 – Book with info

While on holiday in Ireland, Coline, Monique and i went to the Joe Mooney Summer School of Traditional Irish Music, Song & Dance.

Every July Drumshanbo plays host to the award winning Joe Mooney Summer School, a week long festival of traditional Irish music, song and dance named after the man who did so much to promote the cause of Leitrim and his beloved town. The committee continue to emulate his high ideals, endeavouring to promote Leitrim’s heritage of traditional music while handing on the best traditions of the past to future generations.

While being in Ireland from 9-27 Juli, we drove around and visited many places.

One week was reserved for attending the Summer School in Drumshanbo, Leitrim.

Coline followed the Flute Course, Monique Bodhran and I Uilleann Pipes.

I was being taught by Brain McNamara.

Internationally respected as a performer and tutor, Brian McNamara hails from a musically rich rural region (County Leitrim) of Ireland which has produced notable musicians past and present and which has been prominently associated with the preservation and performance of Irish Traditional Music.

During daytime there were lessons, and concerts in the evening.
We learned a lot!

Tunes i’ve learned from Brian are:

Gander at the Pratie Hole
Honeymoon
Kitty goes a milking
O’Sullivans March

Beautiful interpretation of the tune “Battle of Cnoc na ndos”
