It is getting warmer, the snow is quickly disappearing. In fact, there is hardly any snow left. This Easter weekend was blessed with some outstanding warm weather. Great weather for yard work, ya right. Let’s go caching!

Another bright sunny Saturday that just begged for some outdoor activity, like Geocaching. We ended up driving Highway 105 towards Ear Falls to look for Cliff Lake and Franks’ Cache.

What a beautiful day we had today. Temperatures below zero but with no wind and intense sun it made for a great day to be out and about. After a slow start in the morning we bundled up the boys and headed for a caching adventure in Dryden. I had noticed that a few caches were visited just a few days ago. While I really didn’t like the idea of digging for caches under 2 or 3 feet of snow, a previous find should leave some nice tracks to cache.

This project provides tools to manage configurations for Cisco devices. At the heart of the project is a tftp daemon written entirely in PHP. Configurations are read and written to the tftp server using a file path that incorporates a password feature for security. The current version of each device configuration is stored in a mysql database. Subsequent changes to the configurations are stored in diff format to provide revision history. A web frontend is provided to manage devices and view configurations and history. (more…)

I could add code manually in templates but adding it to posts didn’t go over so well. Wordpress applied formatting to the AdSense code which broke things.

AWStats is a log analyzer for apache logs. It is available at http://awstats.sourceforge.net/.
AWStats consists of a number of perl scripts and related files. There is no build in the sense of compiling required. Even though awstats has been designed as a cgi that creates statistics dynamically it also supports static html pages. I choose to run awstats on a daily basis to generate static pages. No cgi access provided. This eliminates all cgi related security risks and also places the load of processing log information at a controlled time when overall server load is low. (more…)
