This is James Reynolds' personal website (not really a blog). You'll find lots of random sysadmin and dev stuff and stuff from my life.

Please see the menus for content.

What I'm currently pushing

Mak.py - Mac Army Knife. Tool for system administrators to quickly and easily hack a Mac. Watch a presentation (2018.02.21).
plcat - Super simple crutch to print binary plist files.
textart - Converts images to html or terminal text.

Not really what I hoped to be famous, but "What is /var/folders" seems to be the most popular page here (althought it's a bit old now).

What's New

2020-05-11 - Site updated

After years of neglecting this website I've finally put some effort into fixing the navigation, broken links, markdown content that didn't convert to html, and making it easier to update.

2017-02-08 - Raspbery Pi's and APC UPS'es

I use Raspberry Pi's to monitor the status of my APC UPS'es. Here's how I set them up.
