Installing IonCube loader with Zend Optimizer
2007-11-18 14:48:00 This is a common request we get for Ioncube to be installed. It’s generally not an issue, but when you factor in other optimization plugins like Zend and eAccelerator, a common misconception is that the three don’t get along. It’s very easy to install Ioncube into a PHP installation that already has Zend ... More About: Loader , Optimizer

Switching from Windows to Ubuntu

Securing the TMP Partition and Tracking Hacks
2007-11-16 14:52:00 Are your temp partitions putting out behind your back? Anyone who’s ever administered a Linux server would know the risk of leaving the /tmp directory unsecured, moreso on a webserver that is shared among multiple websites. The tmp directory is world-writeable and used by a majority of services on a machine — including the ... More About: Hacks , Partition , Tracking

Sploggers Don?t Deserve to Get Laid
2007-11-15 18:12:00 Have you ever read an article somewhere and realized that it looks too familiar? That’s because you probably wrote it a year or so ago, or read it on someone else’s blog. “Splogs” are usually fake (and some legitimate sites) blogs that harvest your blog’s content via script, then mirror it on their own ...

Installing Mod_Python
2007-11-11 09:46:00 I figured I’d put this out here because it’s come up quite recently with people who are using Apache 1.3.x. If you haven’t gotten the balls to upgrade to Apache 2.x yet, you can still install mod_python…just not as easily. This simple walk through is for Apache 1.x and 2.x. First, you need ...
Selling Ad Space
2007-11-04 15:02:00 Those of you who read Corgie’s post on the front page of Digg the other day, the answer is no — I’m not selling ad space (or sponsored reviews) on my site at this time, and obviously not for $560 a month. I might in the future when I get more traffic but when ... More About: Selling , Space
Halloween?Sucks
2007-11-01 15:12:00 This is probably the first Halloween that was a complete disaster. First, I dropped almost a couple hundred on this custom-made Greek [hoochie] goddess outfit. But the lady made the dress too short, kind of to the length of a t-shirt…she also made it one size too small which was Ok, but it only ... More About: Sucks , Allo
How to Make Your System Admin Mad by Creating Huge-Ass Files
2007-10-31 14:43:00 So If you’ve ever woke up in the morning and asked yourself…”Hmm, how can I make my system admin’s job harder to the point where they get mad and shut down my server?” Well, lucky for you I can answer that question.

Which Programming Language is For You?
2007-10-30 17:23:00 Working with a webhosting company I get asked all the time — which programming language is better? It’s obvious that I’m more bias towards PHP, but there are other great languages out there that may be more suitable for certain people creating certain sites. I’ve decided to write a nutshell comparison ... More About: Programming , Language , Programming Language

Mass-Moving cPanel Accounts

PCLinux OS is Kind of Sexy

I find it to be a lot easier to manage, though it sucks that some software is still not compatible with Unix and installing a wireless network card is ... More About: Sexy
Using PHP to Display Version Info - Part II
2007-10-17 17:18:00 Earlier I showed some examples of commands you can use to pull software versions into a simple PHP script. In the next example I’ll show how to do the distro and kernel versions. I’m sure that there’s a much simpler way to do this (i.e. a simple cat command on the /proc/version ... More About: Info , Display , Part , Version
Using PHP to Display Version Info
2007-10-15 16:38:00 I’ve been working on this application for work that does some simple server reporting, part of which involves displaying the versions of major software running on the machines.

Ugh?.CIDR
2007-08-28 09:23:00 I kinda wish I paid attention in class when the professor was talking about CIDR notations and shit…because it would have come in handy tonight. But being that I’m lazy I did some looking around and found that there’s a perl module out there that will convert an IP range to CIDR for ...

Size Matters with PHP
2007-08-27 09:59:00 I figured this might be helpful to post since it seems to be a fairly common issue poking up about PHP’s limits in regard to file size. It’s no secret to fellow programmers that PHP is incapable of readily handling files over 2gb on the typical 32-bit system, but others are easily aggravated ... More About: Size , Matters
