I am getting old. I am mostly listening to music which was released at least 10 years ago. Not visiting rockconcerts anymore.
but… once in a while, I “discover” a newly released album which really makes me think “WOW!!!” the first time I listen to it.
It kicks ass!
if you google for “apc.php?SCOPE” you get 202.000 hits. I opened at random (more or less) 10 of those. All giving a shitload of information about the host and file structure.
Seems pretty unsafe for me to have that information stored in Google.
Recently I started (finally) with implementing caches for our php projects. I extended the database class with additional query methods utilizing memcache.
While writing some unittests, i was confused by the documentation of php regarding memcache.
I always wondered why there was a pecl/memcache and a pecl/memcached. I assumed one was the client API, the other the server API (or something similar).
BEEEP! WRONG!
Seems that both are libraries providing methods for accessing the memcached (memcache daemon).
You have to choose one! or… use them both… but have to be very aware which one you are using :)
I have chosen to use memcached. Primarly because it’s only a wrapper to libmemcached (which is a big plus in my eyes).
For me the best way to run Django applications has proven to be mod_wsgi and Apache. This setup allows for scalable application pools to run as a seperate process, featuring threading and extra privilege separation, which is great.
To make your application even more hardened, you can use the mod_wsgi ...
While rereading my diary, I encountered a passage from life of Pi, written by Yann Martel:
Als wij burgers onze kunstenaars niet ondersteunen, offeren we onze fantasie op aan de brute realiteit, zodat we tenslotte nergens meer in geloven en onze dromen geen waarde meer hebben.
In Dutch..sorry… Makes me think a certain Dutch politician… shame on you Wilders, Shame on you.
Since a while I wanted to upgrade my Mac to OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard, but I never got around to do it because I needed disk space for my backup first. I have a 1TB USB2 disk containing data, but I didn’t want to wipe the disk contents ...
