Reconnoiteris coming along. Unlike most open source project, I tend not to talk about mine until their are really useful to people. Over the last year, I’ve adopted the unhealthy attitude that useful means “shiny front-end.” So, I’m blogging to break that attitude and talk a bit about project that doesn’t have a shiny front-end… yet.Reconnoiter is built out of years of frustration using tools like RRDTOOL, Munin, Cacti, ZenOSS, Nagios, etc.
Today’s Internet has changed quite a bit from the Internet I used to know. The Internet has always been successful because of net neutrality. What’s net neutrality? It’s complicated, but essentially it means that anyone anywhere can publish with equal rights. These aren’t the kind of rights people usually talk about… I’m not speaking of freedom of speech. Instead, I’m talking about content being simply bits. It doesn’t matter if it comes from CNNor this blog, you as a reader can download the bits that make up the pages you see without bias or preferential treatment.
