The "Notices" shortcode enables you to call out pieces of information - sidebars, warnings, tips, etc.

To create a notice on a page, you can use the notice shortcode.
You use the notice shortcode, with the first parameter being one of note, info, tip, and warning. Then add a title for your note in quotes as the second parameter. The inner body of the note can be whatever markdown you want to create.

Speed Test Widget

My take on a speedtest widget for pfsense.

Being a newcomer to pfsense I guess i'm still playing catchup, as the newbie when my download speeds are nowhere near what i'm paying for I suspect pfsense as thats the only thing that changed in my setup.

Knowing what my broadband supplier is going to say I pre-empt this by doing my own diagnosis before calling them. I've disconnected everything from the back of my modem and plugged my laptop in directly, gone to www.Speedtest.net and hit the 'GO' button. Unfortunately the reading is no different (download speeds still suck). One thing is for sure: I've just wasted several minutes dismantling a perfectly good hardware install, now I just have a mass of cables near my modem which need to be plugged back in.

A single application solution for when Postman is one application too many.

Due to the way Azure is delivered for the developer community at my place of work, all Internet facing systems need to be fronted by a Content Delivery Network. To ensure this rule is followed a scan is carried out to find any Public IP's. Any public IP's found which did not follow any form of exception process are passed on to the security team, where a suitable enforcer is dispatched to help the guilty party remediate the situation.
