Career Oppurtunities (the ones that never knock)

One day, thought not any time soon, and prob­a­bly not before they go big or the next big indus­try shift hap­pens, I want to work for a web host­ing com­pany like The Engine Yard, Media Tem­ple or Lin­ode; These are web host­ing com­pa­nies that get it. Dif­fer­ent from the "extremely ques­tion­able" web host I once worked for, the "old …

Apache Admin Notes: Raw Performance Numbers

In late Decem­ber I started look­ing at alter­na­tive web servers, hav­ing hit a point where I actu­ally asked aloud (though to no one in par­tic­u­lar) why I still use Apache for any http or php needs that may arise. I sat down, installed nginx (nginx 0.6.33) from the EPEL (Extra Pack­ages for Enter­prise Linux) repos­i­to­ries and lighttpd (lighttpd 1.4.20) from …

I have awesome search hits

In an effort to game the page rank, and rein­force some of the hor­ren­dously ter­ri­ble things I have to say about peo­ple, here's the top searches that lead back to here, fol­lowed by the shit that these sites are prob­a­bly refer­ring to: kris roe phở­tog­ra­phy book, skinny but still fat, and kris roe hair These all refer …

What the hell is www.51ffer.com?

If any­one reads french, I'd love to know what the site this guy is talk­ing about is. All I get from it is "Free direc­tory" and it looks like it's just a big old shit-heap of links. And what gives any­one the impres­sion that pager­ank means any­thing to me? I'm not really into SEO as a lifestyle and I really …

Minute Photographic

Ear­lier this week Gor­don Ryan (who needs to do some­thing about his naked-ass site) and I dis­cussed daily photo blogs. A short search for a back­end, and a few days later evilskull.com has been pressed back into ser­vice. While I've got some tem­plate and .htac­cess tweak­ing to do, the pro­vided "Hori­zon" tem­plate suits my needs and tastes well enough. …

Apache Admin Notes: Knowing The Field

For those unaware, I'm an Apache web server admin­is­tra­tor. How­ever, for the last few years, a vari­ety of other web servers have been gain­ing in pop­u­lar­ity and build­ing ded­i­cated fol­low­ings around them­selves. 8 years ago when I started Web­slum your web server options were basi­cally iPlanet (now Sun Java Sys­tem Web Server), Apache, and IIS (which no one …
