I’ve developed a solution to the idea posed the other day. It wasn’t hard, but here’s an official write-up of the effort for what it’s worth. Read More
Specialized Syslog Collector for Metrics via Syslog
March 24, 2012 – 10:55 am
I figured I would throw this out to the wolves, before working on any of the
ideas, in hope of collecting experience from any who have worked with this
idea before me. I’m likely to implement at least a proof of concept unless
someone points out a glaring show-stopping logic flaw. Read More
256-color support under GNU screen, including non-GUI vim
March 2, 2012 – 9:57 pm
Finally, I got 256-color support under GNU screen, including vim! I really don’t know how or why this was so difficult for me to get working, but it was a royal time sink. I read just about every thread everywhere about anything related to this topic.

I’ve turned off comments on this post, because I don’t want to even begin to suggest that I will have any answers to any questions you may ask.
# .bash_profile # # I recursively copied /usr/share/lib/terminfo on a modern # Linux box to $HOME/.terminfo so that I could have modern # stuff with me wherever I go, like Solaris 10 which has # no modern 256 color crap. Make sure you have the screen-256color # terminfo stuff. Then... TERMINFO=$HOME/.terminfo # xterm-256color should work below as well, but since I am # always connecting from PuTTY, I use this which is technically # more correct. TERM=screen-256color
# .screenrc portion for GNU screen which MUST BE compiled with 256 # color support. # term "screen-256color"
