   Good UX, but lacking multi-currency support

   Great and easy to use tool. It’s easy to invite others and the only thing needed to access an “event“ (thing for which costs are shared) is a link. No registration required.

   The only thing I miss is proper multi-currency support. The paid “Super Kitty” includes multi-currency support of some sort, but it does the conversion for each transaction at an automatically looked up rate. This is not sensible if you pay in cash (then the rate is whatever you’ve got when exchanging the money). Even if you pay by card the rate may vary (eg. additionial fees, …). I ended up converting the amounts manually with the average exchange rate we’ve got.

• Cisco switch backup/restore?

  A decade ago I worked for a shop that needed to routinely back up 100+ cisco switches and routers and refused to pay for solarwinds. I setup a light weight freebsd vm to run this open source software: https://shrubbery.net/rancid/ (Rancid: Really Awesome New Cisco config Differ) and set it to scrape all the equipment every 12 errors.

• Version control for network configs

  Anyways Rancid does support cvs, svn, and git. Though I have only used it with cvs. Basically what it does, is checks out the configuration, downloads the configuration with other information about the state of the device, commits the configurations(which only changed ones will be in the latest check-ins, and then it can send an email of the changes.

• Management Software for Cisco Devices?

  RANCID - Really Awesome New Cisco confIg Differ monitors a router's (or more generally a device's) configuration, including software and hardware (cards, serial numbers, etc) and uses CVS (Concurrent Version System), Subversion or Git to maintain history of changes. Source: about 2 years ago

• What all are you doing with Ansible?

  If you want to use this as an opportunity to learn Ansible, or you don't want to add another tool to the stack, this is a fine use case. Otherwise, I would consider using either RANCID or Oxidized for configuration backup. Source: about 2 years ago

• Starting with python at 30

  Before I knew about RANCiD (https://shrubbery.net/rancid), I wrote my own Perl application to telnet into a Foundry Networks switch and TFTP its configuration to my computer so I could back it up. At a future employer, I rewrote another coworkers Perl application that collected SNMP values from devices and did stuff with it (forget what all I did then). Source: over 2 years ago
