Hi All,
I just used the down stairs bathroom, note I am not one of continental cousins (it has a shower and washing machine  ). Finished the important matter I went to do and the fly on trousers broke. This caused swearing hunting for zip finding zip and hunting for something to block obvious gap (Gaffa Tape, oddly there was a five pack of roles) get back to desk look at zip mush it back on bend bent bit with pliers (carefully) try a couple of runs up and down before deciding yeah that'll do (I hope). ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)

Too bad there wasn't a camera following you along on this escapade. I could use a good bit of slapstick.

Not really an issue. No saw and I botched it before I had to see any one.

Thus the reason I am not a comedian.

Gaffa, Gaffer (or Duct) tape is not botching. That counts as a professional repair!

Nope. It was definitely playing in my head as well.

Has anyone had any truck dealing with AWS API for managing EC2 instances?
The scenario I am faced with is creating a dashboard for our clients within our website where they can check the status and start/stop their instances. Under our account we are running servers for multiple clients and we don't really want them to see each others.
The quickest for me would be if I can create an IAM where the user only sees specified instances, but that seems to be too complinated for AWS.
Pointers, guidance & gotchas greatly received.

We are currently using VMWare Cloud Director to manage our VM's and you can attach any metadata of your liking to each VM.
VIA PowerCLI I can then filter the VMs using that meta data.
I know you're not using VMWare, but maybe there is something like that in EC2.
Cheers!

Much joys!
The fun part of EC2, and AWS in general, is that its documentation is written by people who have no idea whatsoever about actually communicating.

They certainly understand communications. They know how to get you to communicate your money to their accounts - and that's what really matters.
'PLAN' is NOT one of those four-letter words.

Feeling pretty chuffed with myself. Have made Silver in Authority and Organiser, and Gold in Participant all since last weekend - and only just now hit 10,000 total CP points.
I'm spending quite a bit of time here these days, since I can't work any more, and am now in the process of writing my next article (actually it will be a series of 3). Due to my brain injury, this is taking longer than it probably should, but hopefully they'll be up in within the next couple of weeks.
Cheers,
Mick

Have a couple from me! not being nosy or anything when you say brain injury nothing too serious I hope (I went down that route myself some years ago)
Just read your profile, tumor, sucks the big one

The tumour is benign and static, but it did manage to cause a couple of very minor strokes with its presence. As a result, my brain has become single-threaded. I've also had it described as my cache being broken, which is also quite an accurate analogy. All those little things you keep in the back of your mind when performing any task, I just can't any more. The bright side is that it's very quiet in there now.
Of course, all this does create some humorous results at times - like going out and locking the front gate before I exit it, or taking some movies back to the library and realising half way there that it may have helped if I brought the DVD's with me.
Been living with it for a couple of years now, so I've come to accept that this is how it is always going to be. In the meantime, I'm writing a movie collection DB, and as I come up with neat little things, I am posting them here. It takes me about 50x longer than it should to write anything, but hey, I don't have anything else to do.
Cheers,
Mick

I had a brain insult, I could breath for about 90 secs, middle of my A-levels so that was mucked up. Only real lasting affects my big toes are numb and my eyesight improved!

Single threaded. That reminds me of a story I read a few years ago. Not sure if its true but it went something along the lie that there was a Neuro Scientist (I think) or similar that was working out. During her workout she started having a stroke. Later she reflected on the experience and she realised she got to see some interesting parts on how her own mind worked. What I read described it as one half of our brain seems to work in parallel and the other in serial which is why certain tasks seems to correspond with activity in one half of the brain or the other.
Not really relevant but I couldn't help myself. Anyway good look, glad it wasn't malignant.
