My name is Michiel Roos. I currently work for Netcreators in Holland. I like tech stuff like Linux, TYPO3, Gumstix and Roombas but I also like to dig in the dirt and try to grow veggies and other things. Some of you may know me as author of nc_staticfilecache and maintainder of the DAM project.
Well . . . I like code without typo's. It just runs better ;-)
Some days ago I got fed up with running across odd configuration settings on our servers. We run several servers with a lot of TYPO3 installations. It would be really nice to be able to see the status of all installations at a glance.
So I started out writing a shell script with a lot of grep and cut commands. Soon I realised that I would be a lot quicker writing the script in ruby. Still later I realized that turning it into a TYPO3 extension. . .
A couple of days ago I wrote a nice ruby script to check our server. The script reads all the vhost files, extracts the DocumentRoot's and searches the paths it finds. It checks if a TYPO3 installation is there and if so, does a sanity check on that installation.
I wanted to share this script with you and thought it would be very nice to display it on a page in all it's highlighted glory. Only . . . the code highlighter in the 'extdeveval' does. . .
There's not a lot of useful stuff on here yet . . .
I want to put some time into converting and modding a nice theme first. Then I may try to post some useful articles on here. I would like to post some tutorials about (for example):
And maybe write about some other stuff that interests me. . .
