Suprisingly I didn’t read much about Karmic yet. But that will probably change in a few weeks, when its released. I upgraded my laptop and my desktop to karmic in the last week and I am quite impressed. The look & feel improved and everything is integrated very well. Shiny. The desktop just connects… It [...]

When reverse DNS is not available, the sshd reverse lookup is an annoyance. It can be disable it in /etc/ssh/sshd_config with the following option: UseDNS no yay.

Nice things that work remarkably easy make me happy. 1) Start Django app python manage.py runfcgi host=0.0.0.0 port=8000 2) Install NGINX apt-get install nginx 3) Configure NGINX The tab indentation got lost but ok: server { listen 80; server_name example.com; access_log /var/log/nginx/example.com.access.log; location / { fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8000; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method; fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING [...]

Walter and I got a new laptop from the office. Unfortunately, even though Ubuntu “Jaunty Jackalope” is really great, there are some small issues. The screen detection doesn’t work properly sometimes and so it gives you a messed up resolution regularly (800×600). Although a login and logout fixes it, it is annoying.

Row-based replication is not supported on tables in this database. Instead, statements that would normally update this information — such as GRANT, REVOKE and the manipulation of [...]

Browsing on my Friday night, I encountered the web game My Brute. Normally I only play such games for a few days. But still its quite fun. What I like about this game is that its so easy to sign up, you don’t even need a password if you don’t want to. Nice and simple. [...]

iFolder seems to get a new push. Even with a community focus. This is a good development. Might be a good alternative for OpenVPN+SAMBA what we use regularly at the moment, for people that need a common share in mixed environments (Linux/Mac/Windows). Or maybe not. Nice anyway. It seems that it will end up in [...]

Once in a while you see a blogpost about a Das keyboard. Although I think blogging about your keyboard is kind of sad, here I go: – I can type nice and fast on it (++) – I think the version with blank keys is silly unless you use a keyboard layout like dvorak. – [...]

Today I noticed my wordpress installation got a bit slow. Apparently MySQL was very busy… Why? … SELECT * FROM wp_comments ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC LIMIT 32500, 50 SELECT * FROM wp_comments ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC LIMIT 32650, 50 SELECT * FROM wp_comments ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC LIMIT 32800, 50 … etc. The need to [...]
