Moved the server to a Gigabit connection.
Also, Apache with mod_ruid2 + MariaDB rocks:-)
Will write a post about it shortly.
4 Strange Places to Find Open Source
Open source is about more than code: it’s about unlocking all possibilities. Here are four unusual projects made possible by open source.
Read on to find 4 strange places where it is transforming lives….
Serving CGI Scripts With Nginx On CentOS 6.0
This tutorial shows how you can serve CGI scripts (Perl scripts) with nginx on CentOS 6.0. While nginx itself does not serve CGI, there are several ways to work around this. I will outline two solutions: the first is to proxy requests for CGI scripts to Thttpd, a small web server that has CGI support, while the second solution uses a CGI wrapper to serve CGI scripts.
Ubuntu 11.10 Review. Oneiric Ocelot – Beautiful, but Deadly
Canonical’s reshaping of Ubuntu is complete, but does 11.10 live up to the hype? Russell Barnes takes a look at the 15th iteration, Oneiric Ocelot, probably the only distro to be loved and loathed in near equal measure…
In Linux User issue 106’s beta review, we talked about how 11.10 appeared to be working hard to make good on plans laid out in the previous release. Where 11.04 was rough around the edges, with what was clearly a work-in-progress Launcher and Dash among other things, much more elegant solutions could be found.
It’s no secret that elegance and form are all very important factors for Canonical’s design team, but 11.04’s implementation smacked so heavily of form over function (a complaint arguably true of both ‘next-generation’ desktop experiences including GNOME Shell and Canonical’s Unity) that a positive reception would have been hard to wish for.
[I will never move to this version of Ubuntu with its hideous Unity interface. Worse, they have removed Gnome Classic in this version - although one can still install it from the repository. No to this version.]
iPhone 4S Buyers Complain of AT&T Activation Issues
It appears that some iPhone 4S owners are having trouble activating their new handset. And so far, it appears that the trouble is limited to AT&T’s network.
Early this morning, Cult of Mac reported that people across the “blogosphere” were complaining that they weren’t able to activate the iPhone 4S on AT&T’s network due to too much strain on the carrier’s servers. Those owners said that the activation process got hung up when the device displayed a screen saying, “It may take up to 3 minutes to activate your iPhone.” Perhaps most notably, Cult of Mac said that it has yet to come across folks who have experienced issues activating their new smartphone on Verizon’s or Sprint’s networks.
