0 Comments Published by Ben Wann October 26th, 2006 in Nerd, Technology, rants, How-To, PHP, Mac OSX

I posted earlier on how to Get Rich with PHP5.
In that article Rasmus Lerdorf writes about how to use a certain set of debugging tools as well as PECL packages and database modifications to really tweak some serious speed out of your PHP web application.
I use a powerbook G4 for my PHP hackery, so some […]

0 Comments Published by Ben Wann October 20th, 2006 in St.Louis, Nerd, Technology

I love Robert Cringely’s pulpit column at PBS.org.
He always has a depth to his analysis that I appreciate.
Last week, he talked about YouTube because c’mon, WHO HASN’T! For crying out loud, my grandmother asked me about it. If there is anyone out there who says that YouTube isn’t a common household word, I […]

OReilly Network - Managing a Honeypot

Managing a Honeypot
This is a great Sys Admin article over at OReilly having to do with administering a Honeypot.
I heard a great story about some security experts who caught some Eastern European blackmailers.
I will probably need to get one of these set up for collabofit.com in the near future, once it goes crazy.
