Monitor Network Connections

I developed this monitoring script after repeatedly needing to troubleshoot connectivity issues with Ollama, a local AI model runner. While working with multiple models and clients simultaneously, I needed to quickly identify which connections were active, which ports were being used, and whether connections were properly establishing or terminating. Standard task managers didn’t provide this network-specific detail. This tool offers real-time visibility into exactly which addresses and ports Ollama (or any process) is communicating with, making it significantly easier to diagnose configuration problems, optimize connection handling, and ensure proper network resource utilization without resorting to complex packet sniffers or enterprise monitoring solutions.

How to Use Postman to call Bizagi web services

Introduction

Postman is a powerful API testing tool that allows developers and testers to send requests, validate responses, and automate workflows. While Postman works seamlessly with JSON APIs, working with XML responses often requires additional processing.

In this article, we will:

  • Configure Postman to make web service calls.
  • Explain why XML transformation is necessary.
  • Use JavaScript in Postman’s “Tests” tab to modify XML responses dynamically.

By the end, you’ll be able to restructure API responses in real-time, making API testing more efficient.

Bizagi Development Handbook

As a Bizagi developer, I often find myself using the same code snippets, XML structures, and syntax repeatedly. Instead of memorizing everything, I’ve decided to create this Bizagi Development Handbook—a quick reference guide where I can store essential code, configurations, and best practices that I use regularly.

This article is a work in progress, and I’ll continue adding more content over time as I refine and expand my knowledge. Whether it’s scripting, XML structures, or integration techniques, this guide will evolve into a comprehensive resource for Bizagi development. Stay tuned for updates!

Capitalism and Freedom by Milton Friedman

Overview

Milton Friedman argues that economic freedom is a prerequisite for political freedom and that a capitalist system, where markets are left to function with minimal government intervention, is the best way to preserve both. The book critiques excessive government involvement in the economy and provides practical recommendations for reform.
