A Systems Policy | Stefan Schlesinger. Recently I talked to a couple of friends, which all wailed quite a bit about their operations or internal IT departments. Most of these teams had to fight with some very basic things. They lacked a decent monitoring system or monitoring at all. They didn’t deploy systems, they installed it by hand. Systems where not documented etc.

So here are some guidelines, I try to aspire with my team. This is by far not a complete list of things you need to run successful operations but it should give you a fair hint about what it takes. Also please note that you might want to adapt your own policy a bit to fit your needs. A System is considered the lowest part of our infrastructure and services.

A No-Holds-Barred Summary ImageMagick is designed for batch processing of images.

That is, it allow you to combine image processing operations in a script (shell, DOS, Perl, PHP, etc.) so the operations can be applied to many images, or as a sub-system of some other tool, such as a Web application, video processing tool, panorama generator, etc. It is not a GUI image editor. ImageMagick is, first of all, an image-to-image converter. That is what it was originally designed to do. That is, it will convert an image in just about any image format (tell us if it can't) to any other image format. About These Examples of ImageMagick Usage These pages were developed from, and are a continuation of, my Collection of ImageMagick Hints and Tips page I first started in 1993, and placed on the new fangled world-wide-web making its appearance around the same time.

I have long been unsatisfied with the existing VPN solutions on the market for Linux. I have experimented with OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP and a couple of others, but I was still lacking an easy to set up, split-tunneling VPN solution. Previously I only worked in a closed environment, where we could set up everyone’s computer, but with the Neticle project things changed. I didn’t want to restrict the developers to certain machines and I wanted the login procedure to be as simple as possible while still being secure.

Feature requirements As I went on the hunt, I set up a list of features the VPN solution should provide. First and foremost, I wanted an easy, GUI based setup. Writing configuration files was just not an option, since I have 10 hours a week at best to work on the project. I also wanted split-tunneling, because having everyone’s home traffic on the company network just complicates matters. PPTP to the rescue Warning! I must admit, I was a bit confused. Setting it up on Linux tl;dr.
