CyclopsMonitor

Bykimsal

I’ve been posting more about this new service over on linkedin, but haven’t posted much here.

CyclopsMonitor is a web monitoring service – checking if a web address is up, how fast it responds, if specific content is available, when SSL/TLS certs expire, when domain name expires, and… sending you notifications when problems occur. Currently, this supports email, SMS and Slack notifications – general webhooks and voice calling are on the horizon (but not yet on the actual roadmap!)

As with many services, this grew out of something I’d started to build for myself and then a bit later, a client. Service has been up for a couple months at this point, and while there’s a ‘payment’ system in place to charge for various levels of service, that’s not yet enabled. It’s open for folks to use and test right now, so please have at it. 🙂

But… running a simple assert from command line was working. This was something different only when running under the…

In either reading of this, it’s been stuck in my head for while now.  How…

  • Bad I9 PDF form

    Have been needing to programmatically fill out an I9 PDF, retrieved from gov site. Should be fairly straightforward, right? Well… the field names are… a mess. Field names like topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].U\.S\._Social_Security_Number__Last_4_numbers_[0]topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].expiration_date__if_applicable__mm_dd_yyyy[0] topmostSubform[0].Page2[0].Employers_Business_or_Organization_Address_Street_Number_and_Name[0] and so on make it pretty… not straightforward to create a usable key/value combination to search and replace. But… today, I noticed it got…
