"Bulky, bald and tall, Boisjoly was an imposing figure, especially when armed with data. He found disturbing the data he reviewed about the booster rockets that would lift Challenger into space. Six months before the Challenger explosion, he predicted “a catastrophe of the highest order” involving “loss of human life” in a memo to managers at Thiokol."

Remembering Roger Boisjoly: He Tried To Stop Shuttle Challenger Launch : The Two-Way : NPR

To think he carried most of this quietly for most of the rest of hist life.

Amon - Python-powered server monitoring, logging, and error reporting with JSON API

thechangelog:

Amon from Martin Rusev is a simple yet flexible way to add server monitoring, logging, and error tracking to your web stack. Amon consists of three parts: a collector daemon, a Python web app, and JSON API.

  • Collector daemon - Amon’s server and process monitoring is a thin wrapper on top of Unix tools to record metrics and store them in the MongoDB backend.
  • API - Shipping with language bindings for Python, Ruby, and JavaScript, Amon’s JSON API makes it easy to record your own application events.
  • Web interface - The web app provides a friendly user interface for viewing logs and visualizing data in charts.

Amon

The Amon documentation site is a great place to get started with installation and usage.

Hot.

This is a 404 page. When I get to something wrong, I just want to find the thing I’m looking for. That’s all.  No fancy shit. It’s frustrating enough that the link doesn’t work.
