Empathy defined

"Step outside yourself and tune in to what other people experience; experience what someone else's world is like for them. Without abandoning your own perspective, you experience the other's emotions, conflicts or aspirations. That kind of connection builds healthy relationships -- an essential part of mental health."

Useful netstat commands

View what IP's are generating the most connections to your web server, from least to most connections:

netstat -anp |grep 'tcp\|udp' | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

The result will look like this:

117 0.0.0.0
158 172.27.10.75
354 172.27.10.140


If you want to see how many connections are in a certain state of the TCP/IP handshake, use this command:
$ netstat -tan | grep ':80 ' | awk '{print $6}' | sort | uniq -c

The result will look like this:

282 CLOSE_WAIT
230 ESTABLISHED
2 FIN_WAIT2
1 LAST_ACK
1 LISTEN
330 TIME_WAIT

The real measure of status

"You didn't measure where you were in teh organization by how many people you're managing. Prestige was measured by how few people there were above you who could prevent you from doing what you wanted to do."

-David Sacks
