First Post!
I’m trying out a new blog, yes, on Ruby. It is *very* superior in Web 2.0 technology to most blog software I’ve seen out there. So far I’m *very* impressed! No, I’m not getting rid of Jeens. I’m just moving to a more Agile approach of focusing on smaller components at a time. Eventually, perhaps […]
Read more...Up, Again…
Well, after FC5 bombed on me after an upgrade, I decided FC5 was a little tooadvanced for my server. I decided the best distro for having an older serverwould be Gentoo, so I gave it a try. After 1 week from initial install, hereI am. I have to say, it’s a bit too much maintenance […]
Read more...Issues Fixed
If I just followed my own advice (see below – it was actually written in 2004), I would have been able to fix this right away. The rss and caching issues should be resolved now. It was an issue in the way Bryar handles Mod_Perl 2. There are still some comment issues that have cropped […]
Read more...Using Bryar in Mod_Perl 2.0
I’ve made some additions to Bryar 2.6 to allow it to work in Mod_Perl 2.0.Without these changes (see diffs below), you will see random caching problemsbecause it loads Frontend/CGI.pm instead of Frontend/Mod_Perl.pm. Bryar/Config.pm: 44c44+ $ENV{‘GATEWAY_INTERFACE’} =~ /^CGI-Perl\// or exists $ENV{MOD_PERL} and $ENV{MOD_PERL} =~ /^mod_perl\//)—– $ENV{‘GATEWAY_INTERFACE’} =~ /^CGI-Perl\//) Bryar/Frontend/Mod_Perl.pm 3,5c3,5+ #use Apache::Constants qw(OK);+ #use Apache::Request;+ #use […]

Recently Peter Moore of Microsoft and Phil Harrison of Sony both recommended the Wii as the companion of choice to either the XBox 360 or the Sony Playstation 3. This has left questions in everyones’ minds as to what Sony and Microsoft are doing, recommending people buy one of “the competitors”. Why recommend someone that […]
Read more...Wikilets!
I’ve determined I’m going to get somewhat of a dream added to Jeens. For awhile, I’ve been dreaming of the ability for a blogger to add a small wiki section to their blog entry. Only the section they designate can be freely edited by others. This could be used for collaboration, for review of code, […]
Read more...Open Source – The Productive Choice
Recently, our CTO was asked the question by CIO Magazine, who were over interviewing him about BackCountry.com’s use of Open Source Software and our success in using it for a very successful retail company. The question was, “How has your company saved money through Open Source Software?” He responded with a list of applications we […]
Read more...System Upgrade
Well, the good news is I’m up on Fedora Core 5 now. The bad news is that because of the upgrade to MP2 and Apache 2.2, many things don’t work now. I had all this working with MP2 at one time, but with all the changes since then, I need to fix some of the […]
Read more...Microsoft, Eat Your Heart Out
A month or two ago, we started hearing rumors that Google is seriously looking into a desktop OS of their own. I snickered at it, with the looming thought in the back of my mind that yes, some day Google will rule the world. Up until now, I never really thought Google had any chance […]
Read more...YAOL – Yet Another Open Source License?
As I sit here waiting for my version of the Fedora Core 5 DVD (3 Gb – wow) to download via bittorrent, I can’t help but admire what one man has done for the community. Through a protocol called Bittorrent, one man has single-handedly brought the community of downloaders together, forcing them to each play […]
