Recently I’ve been migrating to new infrastructure — I will most definitely write about it more in separate post(s) — and I found myself in need of some centralized log server. I played a bit with different tools and eventually settled with graylog2. Current setup looks as follows:

• First node: graylog2-server + elasticsearch + mongodb

I’m always kind of fascinated when I read about other people’s configuration and tools that they use on daily basis. And how they use them. It might be because it’s the easiest way to actually learn something from them. You can also establish some idea on the skills that this guy or gal possess.

Recently I’ve been playing a little bit with elementaryOS Luna. I already wrote my thoughts about this particular OS some time ago, so I won’t go into details. I’m mentioning this only as an explanation for “why the hell this PPA was not updated for such a long time” (;

A lot of stuff is going on in my PPA lately, including its new, redesigned website. Many packages has been removed, added and updated to the latest versions, so I won’t be able to cover all of these changes. Here are the ones I find most noteworthy:

• Audacious 3.4-beta1: new upstream beta release.
• Geary 0.3.1: new upstream release.
• Midori 0.5.0: new upstream release. 0.4.8 was moved to unstable branch.
• Musique 1.2.1: new upstream release.
• Pantheon-Files 0.1: initial release, but working fine.
• Scratch 1.1.1: initial release, more testers needed.

Coming soon:

• Plank: I’m waiting for valac-0.20 to enter Debian repositories.

That’s it so far. If you have any suggestions or you want to report any bugs, catch me on twitter.
