I’ve been trying to config our Apache server today. These are the requirements: We want PHP version 5. All users accounts are separated through virtual hosts. PHP should be run with the same user rights as the user, this means either CGI or FastCGI with suexec; because when frameworks create files in the home directory, [...]

Citat från Nalle Puh
Nyligen upphittat. Om du försöker hitta hem men istället hela tiden kommer tillbaka till samma gamla sandgrop, kan det faktiskt vara så att sandgropen förföljer dig. Titta in till någon när som helst om du känner för det. Säger de “Usch, är det du!” kan du ju titta ut igen. Alla kan inte och somliga [...]

Publishing My “Nifty” Framework?
I’m sitting here wondering if I should go public with the PHP framework I’ve built over the past couple of years. It’s gone through a couple of iterations and is now something that I’m regularly building internal and external websites on top of. No, it’s not the same thing as my Nifty CMS, but that [...]

Lights
Lights. Must get lights. I’ve never been one to make a cozy feeling at home, what with furniture and curtains and stuff. My place has been decorated in a kind of classy, comfortable way with a heavy bachelor tone. Sometimes I wish I had that homely touch, but the cleaning-up spirit always disintegrates shortly after [...]

Using XDebug and WinCacheGrind to Optimize PHP Scripts
I noticed earlier that our helpdesk system (written in PHP) became somewhat slower after we upgraded to the new version, 1.1. I always thought I’d look into it but never got that far. Of course, I’m using a self-written framework, and I’ve known that it hasn’t been profiled for speed, so I knew there’d be [...]

Standing Up
I switched places at work today. The desk opposite my old one is adjustable in height, which makes it possible to stand up or sit down while working. In realizing that I’ve been sitting down for basically the past 33 years (okay, exaggerating), I thought it’d be a nice change. And it is. I’ve been [...]

$5 at the Pump? Not in Sweden
In the surge of hurricane Ike in Texas: $5 Gas Prices. It seems absolutely horrible, for anyone who’s followed the gas price fluctuations in American news lately. But I wondered what that would be in Swedish terms: Not expressed as dollars/gallon, but in kr/liter. It turns out, it comes to about 8,85 kr/l. I cannot [...]

MediaWiki and XSL-FO
At work, we’re using MediaWiki as both an internal and public wiki (we have two different ones, separated, to provide watertight bulkheads between them). Recently, the administrator of the public wiki has been looking for ways to automatically generate PDF files. One extension in particular, Extension:Pdf Export, seemed to be useful; but on closer inspection [...]
