For a while I have wanted to have a twitter app that makes tweeting extremely easy. I am a huge supporter of minimal and functional interfaces and design. Wren is exactly what I have been waiting for. At $4.99 from the Mac App Store it is a steal!
A simple custom search and you can use alfred to quickly add a task to your OmniFocus inbox!
Click Here to add to your Alfred installation.
Vico app is a mixture of everything amazing in the text editor world for the Mac. You get the power of Vim. The features of using the latest Mac OS X Cocoa frameworks. Everyone needs to switch to this editor now!
Enable ALUA Using NaviCLI
An easy way to quickly enabled failover mode 4 (ALUA) on a host attached to a CLARiiON or VNX array is to run the following command using NaviSecCLI.
naviseccli.exe -h HOST storagegroup -sethost -host HOSTNAME -failovermode 4 -arraycommpath 1
Do yourself a HUGE favor and enable ALUA on all of your hosts in VMware. Once this is complete, reboot all your ESXi hosts. That is all.
Are you running ESX or ESXi? Why?
DokuWiki (1 of 2)
Documentation is very high on my list in terms of importance. If a project that I work on cannot be completed by someone else its useless. That being said, I have made it a point to document everything I do as well as possible.
DokuWiki is a very simple web application that is designed specifically for documentation. It is a collaborative application that has version control on the documents that are generated. It works very well in a team environment and is updated frequently. It is written in PHP which I am not too fond of but all in all a great web application. In the next post I will go over my detailed installation on Ubuntu 10.10 using PHP-FPM and Nginx.
Replacing TextMate with MacVim+
I have been switching back and fourth between vim and TextMate lately. There have been some annoyances that have come up lately with TextMate that I can't shake. That being said, vim has never replaced TextMate 100% for me for a few reasons. That is all about to change...
There are a few things you need in order to install the MacVim/TextMate replacement.
Homebrew - Mac OS X Package Manager
MacVim - Main Editor
Janus - MacVim Distro
Installation is quite simple, first off you will want to install MacVim
brew install macvim
New you will install the Janus MacVim distro.
cd ~/; for i in ~/.vim ~/.vimrc ~/.gvimrc; do [ -e $i ] && mv $i $i.old; done git clone git://github.com/carlhuda/janus.git ~/.vim cd ~/.vim rake
That is all! Now from a terminal where you would normally run mate . you can just run mvim . and you are good to go.

Enable SNMP on ESXi 4.1 Hosts
In case you didn't know, ESX is going away. That being said, many of us use SNMP for monitoring of ESX hosts. This post will go over some quick changes to make on your ESXi hosts for troubleshooting and enabling SNMP.
First you will want to login to your vMA, once that is done here are some useful commands:
View SNMP Settings
vicfg-snmp -s --server SERVER_IP
Test SNMP Settings
vicfg-snmp -T --server SERVER_IP
Enable SNMP
vicfg-snmp -E --server SERVER_IP
Set SNMP Communities
vicfg-snmp -c com1,com2,etc --server SERVER_IP
Clear ALL SNMP Communities
vicfg-snmp -r --server SERVER_IP
Disable SNMP
vicfg-snmp -D --server SERVER_IP
Enable Locate on Mac OS X 10.6
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locate.plist
I never liked the original iTerm, wasn't for me. I did not see the value add, especially when the next generation Terminal.app was released. That has all changed now that iTerm 2 is out. I will be using it as my main terminal application at work and home to see what bugs I come across.
Inside My Gitconfig
In my .gitconfig I have a few great options defined to increase compression and performance as well as enable coloring. I will go over the options I have defined.
Below is my entire .gitconfig located in my home directory. Each section is defined by a block in square brackets. I will go over each section now.
[core] - Set your editor and max out that compression.
[core] editor = /usr/bin/vim compression = 9 preloadindex = true
[user] - Default Full Name and Email (Make sure you fill this out!)
[user] name = Full Name email = [email protected]
[pack] - Use all of those 12 cores! (if you have a MacPro)
[pack] threads = 0
[web] - For any tasks that needs a browser, add your favorite here.
[web] browser = /Applications/Safari.app
[color] - Set your beautiful colored output here!
[color] diff = auto status = auto branch = auto ui = auto
Change Ubuntu 10.10 MySQL Datadir
Ubuntu 10.10 has a wonderful kernel security module called AppArmor.
DO NOT DISABLE THIS!
In this post I will go over the very simple way of changing your default data directory for MySQL and keeping AppArmor enabled.
First you will want to open /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld for editing.
sudo vim /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
Then you will want to add the following lines at the end of the config above the last "}".
/new/datadir/mysql/ r, /new/datadir/mysql/** rwk,
Reload the AppArmor Profiles by running the command below.
sudo service apparmor reload
Lastly Start MySQL
sudo service mysql start
That is it! You now have MySQL running in a non-default location and still have the benefits of AppArmor running on your system.
ESXi/VM Performance Problem?
If you have ESXi hosts and are experiencing a performance issue that would normally require esxtop, don't worry! Use resxtop, which is provided by vMA. The help for the command is below.
usage: resxtop [-h] [-v] [-b] [-s] [-a] [-c config file] [-d delay] [-n iterations] [--server server-name [--vihost host-name]] [--portnumber socket-port] [--username user-name] -h prints this help menu. -v prints version. -b enables batch mode. -s enables secure mode. -a show all statistics. -c sets the esxtop configuration file, which by default is .esxtop41rc -d sets the delay between updates in seconds. -n runs resxtop for only n iterations. --server remote server name. --vihost esx host name, if --server specifies vc server. --portnumber socket port, default is 443. --username user name on the remote server.
Another great option is Get-EsxTop, more on that in a later post!
Enable Remote Syslog via vMA
If you do not have a central syslog server, you should. That being said you should make sure that your ESXi 4.1 hosts have remote syslog enabled. I know you have all migrated off of ESX by now, if not then that will be your new years resolution. Right?
vicfg-syslog -s SYSLOG_SERVER --server ESX_SERVER
Once that is set your syslog traffic will be sent to your remote host. For my remote host I am using splunk.
