After starting off with CouchDB I thought I'd create a reference card (a.k.a. cheat sheet) for myself, a bit like the one I created for proxy configuration files. As I'm rather satisfied with the result, I thought I'd share this PDF with you.

Go ahead and get The Antepenultimate CouchDB Reference Card. If you have suggestions [...]

I've finally put the (rather messy) source of jndcalx on Github for you to grab, fix, and improve on.
jndcalx runs on a computer with installed Lotus Notes (Mac OS X, Windows or Linux) and a Web server, and it creates iCalendar output (.ics) on the fly, without having to manually export and import your calendar. [...]

Quite some time ago, I decided I wanted to see my IBM/Lotus Notes calendar entries in iCal, so I started tinkering with a small C program to do so. The initial results were quite promising, and I started adding features such as Todos and UTF-8 support. I also quickly found, that iCalendar unequal iCalendar — [...]

The Snow Leopard updates takes 45 minutes or 3/4 of an hour, depending on how you watch the progress bar and, apart from a small breathless moment, it went off without a hitch. (In case you haven't read it elsewhere, 10.6.1 is being delivered to your doorstep as we speak.)

One of our Web servers was rendered almost useless for clients because the Certificate Revocation List we have on it, expired. To avoid that happening again, I decided to implement a check for the CRL expiry as a Nagios (respectively Icinga) plugin.

I have a requirement to create a set of tools as a Web application with forms built
on-the-fly, and that is easier said than done. (Actually the
"on-the-fly" bit is my own requirement: I don't want to spend
