Looking for a new keyboard? Look no further!
I wanted to upgrade my 8 year old keyboard for something that looked better, worked better and had some more modern functionality… Enter the Corsair Vengeance K70 keyboard.

Time for a new mouse! I’ve been using the same mouse for 6+ years, time to move to more modern technology! For computers and peripherals, I generally look towards gaming products, since, in most cases, they are better built and come with more features than general “consumer grade” products… But that usually comes with a bit of a price tag. But if you can handle the price tag, generally you will get a much better product for the money.
Time for a New Computer!
It was time for me to upgrade my old workstation, so I decided to build something custom as I couldn’t find what I was really looking for from a major manufacturer, for the price I wanted anyways.
Pro Tip: Clean Your Device’s Ports

I recently killed another pair of headphones, marking the 6th pair in the past 2-3 years, so when I jumped on Amazon to take a look for some new ones, I decided to buy low priced since everything from $6 – $40 has died on me. $40 isn’t what I would call expensive for audio anything, but for in-ear headphones for the gym and occasionally listening to a podcast with, it gets expensive to have to replace them every 3 to 6 months.
Observium Update Scripts
I recently moved to Observium for my device and basic network monitoring, one of the things about running Observium that is, well, love it or hate it, is that there are a lot of updates to the software. And if you want to keep things up to date, you will probably want to perform updates quite frequently.
I created some scripts that help me simplify the update and upgrade process, when I choose to do updates (usually once or twice a month, assuming there are features that I want to check out).
Getting Bugs From Bugzilla Using XML-RPC
I recently had to develop an interface to get bug information out of an older Bugzilla installation (version 4.x). The older installation didn’t support REST and only supported the older XML-RPC interface.
Using some basic code from xml-rpc.net I was able to get a simple interface up and running in short order…
Xamarin and C# for iOS
With Visual Studio 2015 (VS2015) getting closer and closer to being released and the announcement that it will contain Xamarin for multi-platform development (iOS, Android and Windows apps), I figured I would give Xamarin a try for some simple iOS development.
