It's always great fun until the makeup comes off.

So we were discussing relationships today, and I got to thinking of the parallels between relationships and vendor relations. Lots has been written on the topic, but I'm never shy about throwing my two bits out.
It's interesting to me that when a person sets their sites on you they are often putting on a mask - the first six or eight or twelve weeks of a romantic relationship are sometimes different than reality. People are on their best behavior at the start of a relationship, and you s...

iControl Apps - #07 - System Http Statistics
|
I was digging through the iControl interfaces the other day and it's still amazing to me, after being around since the beginning of the API, to find new and cool stuff hiding in there.

This application will build ...

This data is returned as counters but most often the d...

iControl Apps - #04 - Graceful Server Shutdown
|
This question comes up quite often here on DevCentral: "How can I gracefully shut down my servers for maintenance without disrupting current user sessions?". In fact, I answered this question just the other day again in the iControl forum and figured I'd throw out an application that accomplished this. So I went about writing this application to allow for the graceful shutdown of a given pool member. Of course, the application wouldn't be complete without listing the pools ...
