Pulsar Up, Again

While baking cookies, I rewrote the broker scripts for the DNS changes. On the bright side, I never updated them to cluster.dev, so it was straight from IPs to cluster.test. I was confused about why the Bookies had port 6650 mapped when it could not be configured. Turns out, that is a Broker port thatContinue reading “Pulsar Up, Again”

Learning 2 Bake – from Scratch XIX

Another cookie exchange on Friday, so more cookies. At The Laird’s request, pecan. That’s a bit vague, but this Betty Crocker recipe looked good: Butter Pecan Pudding Cookies 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda1/2 teaspoon salt1 cup butter, softened1 cup packed brown sugar1/2 cup granulated sugar1 box (3.4 oz) Jell-O™ French vanilla-flavorContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake – from Scratch XIX”

Up, Again

And cluster.test is up and running as far as BookKeeper. All six http:// URLs work. All scripts and documents now use cluster.test instead of cluster.dev. (Google is evil!) There were a few bobbles along the way, but I’m getting reasonably good at this, unfortunately. Discovery: When you send –restart always to a docker run command,Continue reading “Up, Again”

Google Is EVIL

I cannot connect a web browser to my new entirely internal domain because I named it cluster.dev and Google has registered “.dev” and hard-coded into browsers that it must be secure. I’m not screwing with TLS infrastructure. Now I need to rename the whole thing. “.test” is supposed to be reserved. We’ll see. Many thanksContinue reading “Google Is EVIL”

Mayonnaise

I wanted a break at lunch, I don’t like roast beef sandwiches with butter, and I had no mayonnaise. Make some! It’s very simple with two “tricks”: Room temperature eggs and very slow drizzle to add the oil. Mayonnaise 2 egg yolks – room temperature is important1 Tbl vinegar (I combine white, red, and lemonContinue reading “Mayonnaise”

ZooKeeper Up – Again

It’s running on names, now. I’ve also restructured the files with the intent to upload it all to github as one package and documented a step-by-step guide, getting this far, at least. Note that I didn’t lose the Zoo data. It’s also generating log files, now, so they can be picked up by logstash (someday)Continue reading “ZooKeeper Up – Again”

DNS Up

BIND doesn’t seem to have a logo, so I picked this. On the off chance anyone sees it, I picked a watermarked picture in the hopes of not running into copyright issues. Aside from the clever name, it’s an interesting site. My virtual machines now have names (and static IPs) and can see each otherContinue reading “DNS Up”

Learning 2 Bake – from Scratch XVIII

There is good news, just news, bad news, and meta news on the baking front. Meta News The Kitchen Aid from G*d died. I hadn’t planned on immediately replacing it, even though I needed to bake some cookies for a bring-some/share-some thing; one batch of cookies by hand is hardly onerous. And there it was,Continue reading “Learning 2 Bake – from Scratch XVIII”

Pulsar Up

I have no idea if it is working and I’m going to bed before trying to find out. It is started. Three VMs each with a ZooKeeper, BookKeeper, and Broker running on them. Once I get it tested, I’m definitely arranging this properly and putting it on github. This should not have been so difficult.Continue reading “Pulsar Up”

Learning 2 Bake – from Scratch XVII

It’s been so long, I had to look up the number. It is gloomy and chilly today. What better time to bake cookies! The Laird has been buying Artisan Kettle dairy free chocolate chunks for our kibble. Is anyone surprised that there is a chocolate chunk cookie recipe on the back? Artisan Kettle Extra DarkContinue reading “Learning 2 Bake – from Scratch XVII”
