Link Aggregation
by Lloyd N. 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Hi Skunks, Has anyone here ever deployed Multiple Link Aggregation? If so, what type of setup they deploy. Did it involve any specialized hardware? Router? Or something else? Increase in throughput is the primary goal, utilizing bandwidth from two (WiMax) links concurrently. Redundancy in case of one link's failure is a secondary "added advantage". -- Kind Regards Lloyd Njunge. Cell: +254 723 739 733

Daily Nation ePaper - Download Script [Linux/OSX]
by Lloyd N. 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Hi skunks, Sadly, it took me the the better part of 15 minutes to resolve why i was getting a "404 Error" whilst trying to download today's ePaper. A minor oversight of the date's suffix on the download link thus having the date parsed as "21th" instead of "21st". "Garbage In - Garbage Out" indeed. I've decided a small bash script is in order. One that: - a) Looks up the machine's current day/month/year and stores them in variables. b) Appends the correct suffix/ (i.e 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc) to the respective day's date. c) Passes the variables in the URL, automatically downloading the ePaper via 'wget' command. In case you are on Linux/OSX and prefer to skip the daily URL edit ritual, feel free to download it. i. Make it executable. ~$ chmod +x daily ii. Run it via terminal. ~$ ./daily -- Kind Regards, Lloyd Njunge. Cell: +254 723 739 733

This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries . . . and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have actually had personal experience of them.”* (From Chapter VI of Niccoló Machiavelli,The Prince.

This got me thinking....whenever military technology gets released for civilian use...the military is definitely onto something bigger. Or am I simply a sorry conspiracist? http://venturebeat.com/2015/04/20/google-now-lets-you-export-your-search-hi… Tony
