“
Without a future for growth and development, romantic love can extend only so far. Its distinction from, say, a friendship with benefits begins to become effaced.
There is, of course, in all romantic love the initial infatuation, which rarely lasts. But if the love is to remain romantic, that infatuation must evolve into a longer-term intensity, even if a quiet one, that nourishes and is nourished by the common engagements and projects undertaken over time.
…
[There] is not merely the necessity of time itself for love’s intensity but the necessity of a specific kind of time: time for development.

Devices attached to your router in some way — whether wired or wireless, use bandwidth on your network. Most homes have plenty of devices that are always connected and some of which connect periodically (Xbox, Wireless printer, etc.)
Cacti is a tool for monitoring, amongst other things, network usage. There are other tools for the job (mrtg, AirPort Utility, etc.,) however, Cacti feels the best overall to me.
Just starting out with the app, so I only have a couple of hours of data. Here is what you can expect to see after completing this tutorial:
The steps below are for OS X using Homebrew, follow this link for instructions to install it.
brew install mysqlbrew install rrdtoolbrew install net-snmpNext, copy the folder above to your /Library/WebServer/Documents folder. If you’d like to be able to see the site at /cacti, just create a symlink:
cd /Library/WebServer/Documents && ln -s cacti-0.8.7i cacti
Open up the default cacti config and update your database connection information. The file is found here: /Library/WebServer/Documents/cacti/include/config.php.
Truc Using ‘localhost’ for $database_hostname did not work for me. Use ‘127.0.0.1’ if you are having trouble connecting.
Browse to http://localhost/cacti and you should be well on your way. The first thing to do is setting up devices. Click the “Devices” link on the left after going through the file locations.
Notes:
git clone https://github.com/joyent/node.git
git clone https://github.com/visionmedia/expresso.git
After installing NodeJS and Expresso you will have to make a change to your Expresso file to allow for debugging.
Add the following statement to your code to set a breakpoint in the debugger:
debugger;
Next, run the following to start up the NodeJS debugger and use Expresso for your unit tests.
mate $(which expresso)
vim $(which expresso)
Change the first line to read:
#!/usr/bin/env node debug
Executing your tests with expresso now uses the node debugger.*
expresso test.js
For those looking for a browser based debugging environment, check out node-inspector.
git clone https://github.com/dannycoates/node-inspector.git
To get this to work with Expresso, I had to change the hashbang to be:
#!/usr/bin/env node —debug-brk
node-inspector &
Now, running expresso test.js will open your file in a web browser for debugging. You will have to point your browser to node-inspector and you can explore your breakpoints and watch variables just like you were in WebKit.
Happy coding, twitternets!
* There are mixed feelings about this in the develosphere, as debugging unit tests is a bit like betting on black /and/ red. I am illustrating how to do it, not advocating its use. Personally I think its better to rely on the unit testing framework to surface errors but stepping through with debugger; statements is sometimes the only way to dive deep into the problem.
