hipchat-extension.rb
#/usr/bin/env ruby
# Sends events to hipchat for wonderful chatty notifications
#
# This extension requires the hipchat gem
#
# The reason I wrote this instead of using the normal hipchat handler, is that with Flapjack
# all events are handled unless you do crazy filtering stuff. Also with a large number of events
# and checks the sensu server can get overloaded with forking stuff. So anyway, hipchat extension :)

Why Semantic Versioning Isn't

Spurred by recent events (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8244700), this is a quick set of jotted-down thoughts about the state of "Semantic" Versioning, and why we should be fighting the good fight against it.

For a long time in the history of software, version numbers indicated the relative progress and change in a given piece of software. A major release (1.x.x) was major, a minor release (x.1.x) was minor, and a patch release was just a small patch. You could evaluate a given piece of software by name + version, and get a feeling for how far away version 2.0.1 was from version 2.8.0.

But Semantic Versioning (henceforth, SemVer), as specified at http://semver.org/, changes this to prioritize a mechanistic understanding of a codebase over a human one. Any "breaking" change to the software must be accompanied with a new major version number. It's alright for robots, but bad for us.

SemVer tries to compress a huge amount of information — the nature of the change, the percentage of users that wil

Assume an IAM role. An interesting way of doing IAM roles is to give the instance permissions to assume another role, but no actual permissions by default. I got this idea while setting up security monkey: http://securitymonkey.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart1.html#setup-iam-roles.
#!/bin/bash
#
# Assume the given role, and print out a set of environment variables
# for use with aws cli.
#
# To use:
#
# $ eval $(./iam-assume-role.sh)

Automatically disable Wifi when an Ethernet connection (cable) is plugged in on a Mac

Overview

This is a bash script that will automatically turn your wifi off if you connect your computer to an ethernet connection and turn wifi back on when you unplug your ethernet cable/adapter. If you decide to turn wifi on for whatever reason, it will remember that choice. This was improvised from this mac hint to work with Yosemite, and without hard-coding the adapter names. It's supposed to support growl, but I didn't check that part. I did, however, add OSX notification center support. Feel free to fork and fix any issues you encounter.

Most the credit for these changes go to Dave Holland.

Requirements

  • Mac OSX 10+
  • Administrator privileges

List running EC2 instances with golang and aws-sdk-go

This is the beginning of hopefully many new posts with golang snippets from my blog. List all of your running (or pending) EC2 instances with Amazon's golang sdk.

For a list of filters or instance attributes consult the official documentation.
