Penguins in a Box. I got a new job, I'm with the same girl, and I almost died. It’s been in the back of my mind for quite some time now to get back on here the start writing some more. Sadly, I typically psych myself out instead and end up with nothing. Luckily, I guess you can call it luck, I’ve had quite a tumultuous past six months. Back in October of 2013, I joined Hortonworks. Looking back, it still feels surreal, dreamlike even. Since graduating from RPI. Up the road to the hospital I went. Aft...

Penguins in a Box. Scaling Pinterest - From 0 to 10s of Billions of Page Views a Month in Two Years. Another day, another blog post linked by HackerNews. There are lots of interesting points raised that I think hold a lot of merit. Some, that I’ve trying to better myself about recently which is why this one hit home. When you push something to the limit all these technologies fail in their own special way. Architecture is doing the right thing when growth can be handled by adding more of the same stuff.

Twenty-Six and Then Some. Digital Dudette on The Run. April 11, 2014. With love from London. April 11, 2014. What started as, “You’ll be going for a week,” then “you’re not going,” then “we need you for almost three weeks and you’ll be living out of a hotel room the entire time,” has resulted in an eye-opening experience that I am beyond grateful for. At the end of March, I hopped on a plane to London for work and I am now sitting in the airport now on my way home, writing my, “Hello! Sorry NYC, you lose.

Up and Running

Penguins in a Box. So, I FINALLY have something that resembles a working website. After moving my server from an old/crappy machine to a linode768 (shameless plug: if you are interested in getting a Linode. Of your own, please use my referral code. I decided I needed to do something more creative/fun/exciting than the Drupal instance I had running before. I decided to write my own mini-blog in Django. Posted: 09 Mar 2011. Tweets by @josh elser.

SpamMap

Penguins in a Box. The solution I have is to use Fail2ban. Which monitors the system log for failed SSH attempts and will automatically lock out these IP addresses (using iptables) for a configurable amount of time. After a host gets locked out, I get an email letting me know the IP and the result of a WHOIS lookup. So, I have all these fun IP addresses and registered addresses of "people" I don't like. So what did I do? I counted them all up, and threw their information on a map that I can look at!

If Only I Knew This Shit In College

Penguins in a Box. If Only I Knew This Shit In College. Tends to be a bit of a time-waster for me these days, but, every now and again, I come across something that’s a real gem. This time it happened to be a presentation from Zach Holman. If I only knew this shit in college. I won’t summarize it so as to not bias your opinion and take-away from the source. But, wow. I don’t think I’ve read something that has hit so close to home in a while. Posted: 29 Mar 2013. Tweets by @josh elser.
