So I came out and everyone was very upset. So I ended up writing custom alerting with a custom app using the Android automator that when it received a text message with the magic string in it would actually like turn up volume and then play the Beatles help at full volume. And that worked. That worked very well.

But what it didn't have, which I like on the patient duty system, is the acknowledgement. So you can see, you know, yeah, I've sent the message. Has that person seen that message? And, you know, tap the yes, I am aware service a melting button.

Yeah, just the spammers, right? That's a tragic thing to say, Dave.

Can I ask you about composite monitors? Because that is a phrase I have not heard before. I'm familiar with a rate monitor. My understanding of that is if it drops really quick, it goes off. But if it drops slowly, it doesn't go off. But what is this composite monitor?

So you're looking at multiple different things at once. Is that so that you could combine those to kind of set effectively a much lower threshold and get higher signal-to-noise? So you say something like, well, we'll allow this number of 404s or allow this number of server load this number of other errors. But if you get all three at the same time, then it triggers something different.

But if you get all three at the same time, then it triggers something different.

Or does it use a lower number? What's the result of that? The advantage of using that logic instead of just saying, here is the minimum number of 404s. Here is the maximum number of 404s. Here's the maximum number of errors. How does that actually translate into a better metric?

Cool. Luke, how about you? I just said it's a really interesting. Is this something you wear all the time, Dave?

Just kidding. Yeah, just checking it, just obsessing about it. I suppose that's good. It's not real time. Otherwise, that'd be even more stressful because you'd be sitting there and go off and say, yeah. Blood pressure's going up. Get caught in the feedback loop.

I've been fighting the code this week, Chuck. I've been building strange command line interfaces in Ruby, and I've been using a little application which is installed by default on most Ubuntu-based systems called Whiptail. This is an old-school text-style interface for when you can't put a GUI on it for various reasons. So this is kind of like, it makes it look more professional.

It makes it look like a real piece of software. And using this from Ruby has been a real pain because you need to do funny things with file descriptors to get the user data out. So it turns out a very nice man by the name of Felix C. Sturgeman has written a gem There's written a gem to do it all for you in native. Way to go, Felix.
