It feels to me like…a lot of the presentation code I do is to aggregate things into some kind of pivot table.
But I wasn’t thinking that clearly — I had just rebuilt our database of nessus scan data from the 8GB of XML I have harvested over the last 15 months of weekly scans of our network. Then I found https://pivottable.js.org/examples/ and I wanted to try it, but needed a useful data source…and I’d just built…a data source. Continue reading Network Vulnerability Data & PivotTable.js
Due to a convergence of mostly-unfortunate factors, I have been embroiled in trying to sort out our university’s submission to the national student financial aid system (NSFAS)…this being driven by Continue reading Hacking Financial Aid…
Cisco Prime…REST APIs…list of all our switches plus CDP neighbor (sp?) info.
I could make a network map…with Graphviz?
Needs work. There must be some cool javascript library for displaying this?
I love my MacBook Air…and I know there are lots of Apple fan(boi)s out there…
But let me unpack

I’ve been trying to move all my work to the cloud — including my IDE. I often have different VMs set up for different projects / stacks (this sounds more sophisticated than it really is, trust me…)
I’ve tried a bunch of things — and lately, I’ve been doing most of my (admittedly modest) coding in the AWS Cloud9…and it’s a happy place so far.
It seems one of my favourite things these days…is finding new REST APIs for our operational data…and trying to implement magic stuff with it….and thinking up new ideas to integrate with my (all-too-sparse) bits of operational data.
Cisco Prime has a REST API — and you can download the programming guides here:
We are nearing the end of week 2 of a staff strike here at the university, and I don’t see a quick end in sight. It’s discouraging…
…and stupid pet tricks.
I really don’t get the cost gap in NV scanning products that we are seeing.
We started using Tenable’s Nessus Pro product for doing our network vulnerability scanning. Continue reading Network vulnerability scanning fun…
My online presence had disappeared of neglect in recent times — truth be told, I’m more of a “back-end” person. However, the holidays see a bit more time to tinker, and seeing as I have a small AWS instance that I keep up for a few experiments with JSON web services, web-based IDEs, NodeJS, and other bits of interest, it seemed like a natural place to put up a quick WordPress instance where I can be found.
I’ll fill in more of the blanks as time permits — and share some of my more sharable ideas.
