The latest version of skype doesn't appear to work well on RHEL6, I found the following forum http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Skype-for-Redhat-Enterprise-6/td-p/1... and followed the two things mentioned there to make it work.
I wanted to be able to define nfs shares with puppet and have puppet take care of the exports line and exportfs. I found this page, but I didn't like that there was perl code thrown in the midst. I rewrote it to use an inline template instead.
I wanted to configure rate limiting on our exim server and needed to setup an ACL that I could include in multiple spots in the configuration. The keyword acl = acl_name is supported (referred to as nested ACL's) but the logic took a little bit of thought...
I want to ratelimit users, the acl for that is here:

I ran into a snag when trying to update the bios on my PE R210ii, the Bios update is 8MB, too large to fit on a floppy image, so I needed to make a floppy image large enough for the file. I tried increasing the size of the Dell floppy image and that didn't work, so I had to start from scratch with a boot floppy made from windows. Funny enough the first link that came back in my google search was that of my coworker.
I've run into this enough times that I thought I'd write a little script to do the work for me.
It's just a simple one line call to python, but I wrapped it with some argument parsing.
It's a python script that takes a password and returns the salted sha512 hash by default. sha256 and md5 can be specified with switches.
