Next stop: Hamburg, Germany Matejunkie | (4)
For the record: I just quit at nugg.ad after 2 1/2 years full of hard, honest and mind-opening work for which I'm really thankful. Without nugg.ad I don't think I wouldn't have had such a good start. They're all good people there and work like hell to make targeting successful without violating everyone's privacy. Specializing on a high availability system with over 12 billion PIs per months with a ruby (and several rails) backend(s) is still mind-blowing and gave me a lot of knowledge - something I should('ve) mention here more often in detailed articles though. I'll relocate to Luebeck, Germany this weekend. ...

Becoming a bone marrow donor Matejunkie | (0)
Something completely different this time, but since it's quite important I thought to let you know that I decided to become a bone marrow donor last week because of a guy within my circle of acquaintances who recently got ill with leukemia. Although the chances are minimal to find a potential donor that actually fits it's at least a chance for him and for others as well. Becoming a bone marrow donor is simple. All required information can be found on the DKMS's website. Once you've signed up you'll receive a package including two Q-tips with which you have to harvest ...

Urban Shooting Matejunkie | (1)
Every now and then it's time to break out of the so called nerdiness which almost every keen technician in the information technology experiences. That's why we've did a few shots in the middle of Berlin several weeks ago with David Noelte, a brilliant photographer. The other guy you'll see within the album is Dirk, my roomie, who's a famous Barkeeper here in Berlin, Germany. Feel free to browse the photo album and visit David Noelte's portfolio! His work highly deserves it!

Enjoy the silence Matejunkie | (0)
I was on holiday for about a week and a half and I just wanted to say that It'll be a bit more quiet around here for the next weeks. It's just way too hot to stay inside. Expect a few updates, but nothing major. Go out, meet your friends, enjoy the sun and have a nice time! So do I.

Monkey Island Tattoo Project Matejunkie | (4)
Over the past months we've been working on a little project here: Getting various Monkey Island artworks (2 packshots and an ingame scene) tattooed. Now, the first of three tattoos is finally finished. It's the packshot of Monkey Island II on the right calf (with a little variation, of course). But why Monkey Island? It's not only because I'm mostly a nerd, but also because Monkey Island builds a bridge to what I'm doing today. I was a teenager when I discovered Monkey Island and got excited right from the start. Simply put, Monkey Island got me addicted to the IT and ...

Blog/SVN maintenance Matejunkie | (0)
Just a short note: I'm currently migrating my web-applications to nginx since it seems to be a quite fast and stable software. I simply have to get rid of Apache's webserver since it's way too much for my intentions. I'm working with Apaches all day long so looking over the rim of a tea cup isn't the worst idea... Therefore it'll be a bit of a pain around here for the next few hours. Public SVN access is currently disabled, HTTPS and my redmine is not ready yet as well. If you're interested in my Nagios Plugins take a look over ...

Public SVN access now available Matejunkie | (0)
Just a short note: I finally got public svn read-only access now running, means you've got more ways to get the scripts here than doing the good old copy'n'paste style or using NagiosExchange. Here's how it looks like when using svn: user@host:~$ svn list https://svn.matejunkie.com/svn/nagios-plugins/ stable/ trunk/ user@host:~$ svn co https://svn.matejunkie.com/svn/nagios-plugins/stable/ nagplug-stable/ A nagplug-stable/check_memory A nagplug-stable/check_memory/LICENSE A nagplug-stable/check_memory/check_mem.sh A nagplug-stable/check_bind A nagplug-stable/check_bind/LICENSE A nagplug-stable/check_bind/check_bind.php A nagplug-stable/check_bind/check_bind.sh A nagplug-stable/check_apache A nagplug-stable/check_apache/LICENSE A nagplug-stable/check_apache/check_apache2.sh Checked out revision 41. You're also free to browse my personal redmine which I'm using for ...
