I’ve never been much of a coder. I used to write a little pieces of code in C, when I was student, but long since I’ve stopped. I have had a resolution just now. To learn PHP and Perl. I want to build few things, and now is as good a time as ever. I…

I’ve decided just few days ago to add monitoring of Apache (httpd) to my MRTG graphs. So I’ve enabled the server-status page, for a limited set of addresses, and added…
