+I am working with txStatsD and Graphite. I was having the hardest problem looking through the txStatsD code today finding how to graph something as an event, not a data point. I eventually went into every option on the graphite dashboard and found an option to make a bar.

+.. figure:: {static}/images/2012-02-08_graphite_menu.png
+   :alt: menu in graphite showing draw nonzero as infinite
+
+This is the option that you must use when you want to mark events. For example we want to know “Server restarted”, we would use this technique, as it doesn’t make sense to aggregate “server restarted”. Using nonzero as infinite is a good way to show an event took place.

+:status: published
+
+I was invited to a Hackathon that one of our client’s client was throwing. Being that I love programming and learning, I decided I would go.
+
+The event was in Cambridge, MA. I arrive early, (my friend said there would be a lot more traffic than there was at that time of day) so I got a tour of office. It’s situated in an old, what I believe to be, factory building. The coolest part of the office was that they had whiteboard paint on every wall surface, complete with markers of course.
+
+The event started and people who were attending had tossed up ideas on the white board. A couple people wanted to integrate LinkedIN with HubSpot. Another person wanted to integrate Eventbrite with HubSpot, to get information to/from event goers after the event ends. I didn’t like any of those ideas and my only experience with HubSpot is their Leads API, so I stuck to what I know.
+
+I had an idea for an app the second I walked in the door, it was like magic. My main hassle was that HubSpot’s Canvas integration REQUIRES HTTPS. Now, my web host is DreamHost and I am kind of cheap, so of course I don’t have any way to host a HTTPS site immediately. A big part of me wanted to bite the bullet and order a secure server from DreamHost, or setup another linode, but I felt that I’ve been spending a lot of money lately and that I would figure out a way. Adrian, my contact at HubSpot, of who I am working with on the PPC project(more on that later), walked by and saved me.
+
+He asked if I had ever used GoogleAppEngine. Of course I hadn’t because I was under the belief that it cost money to use, but then I realized I was thinking of Amazon’s EC2. I sign up for GAE and within an hour I have a HelloWorld site setup. The slow part was installing Python2.5 so I could use the same version that GAE used and not have to fix a lot of backwards compatibility errors between 2.5->2.7.
+
+After I had a site up that could do HTTPS I dove into programming for my HubSpot app. The app I am doing for work graphs leads per day combined with Google AdWords data per day. I decided to do something different. My app is still a graph, as graphs are fun and easy to understand by everyone.
+
+This app graphs a set of leads and shows how many leads happened in a given hour for the previous day. Given extra time I would have added an interface to specify the day to graph leads, but last night my time was severely limited by the fact that I had to setup my environment for GoogleAppsEngine.
+
+Improvements I can and want to do to this app are database, faster processing, and being able to select a date. I almost wanted to break down and learn NodeJS for this, because from my understanding of the event driven nature of NodeJS would be a lot easier to load data over a longer period of time, than to just load it all at once and timeout with HubSpot’s Jakarta Commons-HttpClient.

+
+Last night I wrote the beginnings of my first NodeJS application. Is application even the correct word?
+
+I’ve been meaning to try out the cool API by Twilio, which is used for SMS and VoiceCalling. I decided to design a system that will be two+ endpoints. One is the main server which will listen for UDP messages. When it receives the correct UDP message, configured in the config(`konphyg <https://github.com/pgte/konphyg>`_) files, it will fire off a message to Twilio and send me a text message.
+
+The next steps, which I should be getting to tonight, are to create the Arduino portion and the serial listener. The Arduino will have a button that will send a message over serial to another NodeJS listener. This will decide if the press was good enough, if it passes the debouncing filter, and then fire a message to the main Ganymede server.
+
+This could be used as a little text message doorbell for when you have your music on too loud. I don’t believe I will ever sell this, as it’s just for me to get into NodeJS, but It would be fun to share with friends.
+
+The source so far is located on my github at [DEADLINK].
+
+I will write more as the project continues about the different technologies and comment on my choices in the source a little bit.

+:slug: hypertherm
+:status: published
+
+For the past three months I have been upgrading and rewriting version 2 of my software for Hypertherm. I am under a contract for my father’s company. His company is developing a machine to test how well air flows (laminar flow) through a plasma cutting torch head, and how much air leaks out over a certain time (delta pressure loss).
+
+This has been a nice adventure. I am talking to the tester over serial, reading in a hand scanner (barcodes and acts as a keyboard easy), talking to a DYMO printer and using a database.
+
+The serial communication was pretty straightforward. I started a new thread and listen for serial all the time. The tricky part with that was that because it was on another thread, I needed a delegate to talk to my UI when I did things like change the picture from blank to a big red X, or update a label.
+
+The hand scanner wasn’t even a factor that took longer than 10 minutes, I just pop up a dialog box asking for input.
+
+The DYMO printer was the hardest part. This took me a month to figure out, I kept fighting with the printer. I could figure out how to print to the left roll, the ones we setup as as the passing labels, but I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to get it to print to the right label, using a custom label. I tried to load the labels into data and use a StreamWriter/StreamReader object to treat that as the label, but it kept printing one that had, for reasons unknown to me, been locked into the printer. I finally gave up on using the interface they provided and am writing the label to a temporary file. The file is in the user’s %appdata% directory in a sub directory that it will not be mistakenly written to, so I feel safe doing it this way. Granted, the machine is a single purpose machine, once this program is installed it will only run this program day and night.
+
+Once I got the printer working, I checked it in to github and realized it took me way longer than anticipated. I learned a lot about .NET development (by no means everything, or even most things, just a lot compared to what I did know before [nothing].)
+
+Tonight while developing I decided to video some aspects of the Program.
+
+The following four links are videos, showing parts of the program and machine in action.

+
+Recently I decided I wanted to learn Java again. I last programmed in Java when I was in College and that was the main language they taught in. I wouldn’t say I was a great Java developer, although I completed every Java course well enough to get an A or better.
+
+I want to relearn Java because for the past four years I have primarily focused on Python. While it is a great language, I feel I need a change from what I’m focusing on now with primarily web based programming.
+
+I decided to refresh myself with Java and read a “Java for Python developers” guide, which was a great refresher. After that I sat around wondering what to program, inspiration wasn’t coming quickly. I settled on a SSH Configuration Manager, which is something I’ve wanted for a while now.
+
+This Configuration Manager will read in your ~/.ssh/config files, and show you what hosts you have in a GUI interface. The great part of it will be that you can also create new ssh configurations, without having to remember every little detail. There will be a lot of help tooltips, and pre-fills as well. I have a pretty basic idea of what I want it to look like. Ideally a list on the far left with +/- buttons to add a new Host, and to the right of that will be another hierarchy list of all the key groups you can change, with the most common (that I or people I talk to) being in a “General” or “Common” list. To the right of that will be the actual keys and values you change. I think I would like to be able to “favorite” keys that you use frequently. This way when you create a new host entry, you can quickly fill out your usual configurations be it only adding an IdentityFile and User. Another feature I thought of would be copying/templating, for example being able to create a new “work based server” configuration by just copying one you already have.
+
+Some of the options will be a bit tricky, a couple of them are along the lines of allowing “yes”, “no”, “ask”, or an integer, and I haven’t figured out exactly how I want to manage that yet.
+
+Currently I have a model that only has getters/setters and toString support, there’s a lot of them so it’s already a 1050 line file last I checked. Next time I work on this project I want to start with data validation and learning how to write tests in Java. I think learning good BDD or TDD habits while learning a “new” language would definitely benefit me.

 It turns out, that it wasn't the keyring stuff, it wasn't the *technically* the version calls that failed. What was happening is every command starts with a check to https://download.tidelift.com/cli/tidelift-cli.version which we then compare to the current running version, if it's different and outdated, we then say "you can run selfupdate!". What fails is that call to download.tidelift.com, because of compiling with go1.17.3 and a ``context canceled`` due to stream cleanup I guess?
