    Hello,

    I'm interested in some help configuring a tomcat development environment, basically adding a few new instances and setting up some start/stop scripts to handle the same. If you're interested, please let me know your contact info.

    Thanks!

    Gotta give credit where its due.

    I hired nick aka sysadminnick the other night to a rush job to sort a messed up server migration. It was a Sunday night (my time) and I needed it working asap explained the problem over IM he quoted me and then gave me a time he would do the job and he did it and then above all gave me a breakdown on the problem and went that extra mile.

    Easy to talk to, good communication will use again, good guy to have on your contact list.

    All this despite the fact I pay another server management company a monthly fee. So rock on Nick..

    Credit where credit is due is an UNDERSTATEMENT!
    This guy knows exactly what hes doing he works with precision and skill.,
    He took an impossible server problem and made it a SOLUTION.
    His fee was totally reasonable considering I asked him to drop what he was doing and do the work right away which he did - and he has made my day 100% better now I can relax the jobs done and done right the first time!

    If you need a server admin for that special project or regular maint. you need NICK!

    I just wanted to drop in and say that Nick helped me out with some critical Tomcat changes, and was excellent! He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and got everything very fast.

    Hi Nick,

    Added you to AIM to discuss a possible job.

    Hope to speak to you soon!

    Posting to highly recommend this guy. Exceptional worker, showed pure dedication to the job, very friendly and approachable and knew what he was doing.

    We had some serious load issues and erratic server behaviour.

    Just some of the stuff he did with confidence...
    1.) Optimized MySQL my.cnf -- ran some myisamchks on tables.
    2.) Tuned kernel VM parameters
    3.) Stopped server thrashing
    4.) Optimized disk I/O
    5.) recompiled and tuned apache to get rid of hook logging in error_log

    .. plus loads more stuff. He has earned our respect and is about to start work on a completely different job for our company. Thanks Nick!

    It looks like you made a fan club . A mod can remove this if they feel that this comment is out of place or not called upon.

    I am in the process of setting up a monitoring solution to offer to customers on a subscription basis. I can set this up to monitor various things over ssh or just ping hosts to see if they are alive etc.. I am looking for some customers who would want to be beta testers. I plan on offering it for $9.95 a month once I get all the bugs out. If anyone is interested please shoot me a PM.

    Thanks,
    Nick

    Hi Nick,

    I need a security audit and hardening on my Linux server (DirectAdmin) as one of my sites there was hacked? Would you be able to help me with that?
