been a while since we met up in cambridge. Next week? What say you @Ben_Hall @matclayton @bruntonspall @fatbusinessman @jake82 @simonrjones
thinks @mnowster should be learning all about a certain new social network startup from a certain IRC room about now
first follower of @MaydayHQ that isn’t building it. Do I win a prize? Interesting to see how it develops
seeing a few problems connecting to @irccloud this morning. Often just loading the chrome but no chat. Or not getting a connection at all
right, who’s _not_ building a monitoring system? I can’t keep up. #monitoringsucks
Varnish At Refresh Cambridge →
I did a quick lightning talk at the Refresh Cambridge meetup last night, a very quick introduction to Varnish. Given 10 minutes all I really wanted to do was get people to go away and take a look…
RT @jakeg82: Refresh cambridge tonight. Anglia ruskin room helmore 251 from 7pm. Mongodb and selenium talks. #RefCam @RefreshCambs
thinks @dsingleton would appreciate http://t.co/WNSIIKD

train detour led to a 4 train journey back to cambridge. Glad to be home, now back to work for the afternoon
any folks wanting a single test runner for PHP code should look at http://t.co/0axl1i8 by @jamierumbelow
In Newcastle. Anyone around yet? Think I’ll head out shortly
Watching the stream from #sllconf with the #springboard2011 folk
cracking proper Rugby game on BBC1. Going to extra time looks like unless we get a last minute drop kick
today was brought to you by the commands cat, awk, grep, tr and httperf and by the language Ruby
added virtualenv and pip support (and tests) to the Python @cloudfoundry pull request. http://t.co/y72yssk

over-engineering is so much fun
fabric 1.0 allows for interactive commands. Lovely new feature: http://t.co/ZGFAZQo
on holiday. Spring cleaning. Well, sorting DNS, domain name transfers and hosting contracts. #geeksprintclean
just rang a call centre to get an appointment at my bank down the road. Nice chap on the phone has sent a fax to them asking if that’s OK
I just used svn to pull down some java code from the internet and then downloaded eclipse. This was not how I envisaged today going
Devops Weekly Archive →
Since I launched it back in November my Devops Weekly email has been pretty well received I think. Folks on twitter seem to like it, as do a few people I’ve met at recent events who have said nice…
mmm, I have a dataset of 14211 tweets tagged #devops from roughly the last year. Even more excuses to mess with data mining
hacking on something various people have told me to do
BBC news say folks are accusing spotify of trying to make people pay for the service? Shocking in this star trek like post-capitalist future
pretty sure my brain is moving more slowly that it has been today
On the way home from @pubstandards after seeing far too many friends to mention. Also some nice folks from #scotruby who liked the talk
RT @jtopper: http://rubygems.org/gems/thor <- 0.14.5 was released *the day after* 0.14.6? RUBY RAGE!

At youdevise ready to let people in for #ldndevops. Also we have pizza coming around 7
talking to people in Newcastle and listening to Belle and Sebastian. It’s like my past come to visit
I’ve been up 18 hours so far and I’m on a train writing fabric scripts to start and stop gunicorn. I may be tired at ldndevops tomorrow
a little bit of puppet, a little bit of @brightbox api and a little bit of gunicorn is all that’s left. Happy with how this is going

really impressed with the data from the survey. Nearly 600 responses. And lots of interesting stuff to be pulled out
stopping myself adding features, because then I’ll have to build and maintain them.
11 points between 6th and 18th, 10 points between 6th and 3rd. Any mid table Premiership watchers can at least get excited
yay, Massaros is back as @newmassaros with shiny new interior. Nice roast beast ciabatta for lunch
Anyone else not filled in my survey about deploying web applications? http://t.co/e98SRVr
this mailing list either just bores me or makes me angry. Only once in a while do I find something useful/interesting. Resisting replying
424 responses so far to the survey in about 8 hours. Not too shabby at all internet
I got a bit distracted and appear to have got jruby successfully importing and calling a clojure hello world. Other examples seemed complex
finally confirming the last talk for the next london #devops meetup. Supercomputing Usage in a Formula 1 Team. How cool does that sound?
the upstream/downstream stuff in Jenkins does exactly what I want it to do
I know you’re not listening spammers but every time I get twitter spam I actually take the time to mark it as spam
