DANGER! Installing a custom recovery and firmware can void your warranty, and in some rare circumstances render your phone irrevocably bricked (broken). Be aware of what you’re doing when you do this, and be aware of the consequences of installing third-party firmware. I can’t be held responsible if your phone is bricked, buggy, or anything bad happens as a result of doing this.

Not much happening lately. Recently updated my Microserver to the latest patch revisions for CentOS 6.3, and my that was fun.

My ISP (Adam Internet) supplies an XML usage page, which uses Basic authentication. You sign up on their admin page for a token, and you then use those credentials (username:token) as the creds when fetching the usage page, and you get back a whole bunch of XML. There’s various smartphone tools to use that data. What I wanted was a Nagios check, and also for perfdata to go into pnp4nagios from that based on my Internet usage.

As discussed, I recently setup Nagios for monitoring on my home network. On my main PC, I use HWiNFO64 for keeping track of CPU temperatures and fan speeds. I wanted a way to get HWiNFO data into Nagios, and also into Cacti for graphing performance data (in particular, temperatures).
