xml sitemap for pligg v0.7 2008-04-17 03:22:35 This is a quick fix for a bug introduced in a previous version because I tried to make it compatible with php4 date().
This bug may have made your sitemap invalid because the lastmod date contained the timezone between the date and time.
This version also brings a new feature that could be useful for larger sites.

wordpress 2.5.1 2008-04-26 09:42:24 I have just upgraded to wordpress 2.5.1. My upgrade routine worked well without any problem.
The new release seems to bring a few bug fixes to some annoying issues and a security fix as well as some performance enhancements.
Unfortunately the automatic plugin updater still fails at times and doesn't save the ftp password and the media [...]
vim arrows in MacOSX 2008-04-25 10:51:59 I know vim gurus would criticize me for using arrows in vim's insert mode but it's really hard to give them up.
I have this problem when I connect from my linux box to a MacOSX or FreeBSD box over ssh. I find it one of the most annoying things when using vim. When you are [...]
Xml Sitemaps pligg module v0.8 2008-04-26 10:12:37 It seems my last version of the Xml Sitemaps
module for pligg didn't really fixed the date format problem with the generated sitemaps.
Back when this module was created google had less strict rules about the date format in the lastmod section. My module generated a date and time string with this format YYYY-mm-ddTHH:MM:SS and it [...]
Xml Sitemaps pligg module v0.9 2008-04-28 09:46:02 This one is a quick release just like the previous one that fixes just one thing.
All previous versions had this problem that the urls were not urlencoded so those urls that contained special characters like those with an accent or diacritics were invalid and of course google would show an error on those sitemaps.
Version 0.9 [...] Read more:Sitemaps

Problem transferring a mysql database with rsync 2008-05-05 04:51:57 A little more then a year ago I wrote a post presenting three different methods to transfer a mysql database. The third method suggested in that post was copying the mysql database files directly from one server ( or location ) to another. This involved locking the tables with a read lock or even shutting [...] Read more:Problem
MySQL and SSL 2008-05-17 07:04:51 I have been setting up a few mysql servers with SSL support for replication .
I used the script provided in the the official mysql documentation for creating the ssl certificates cause I needed to do it on more then one server and it made more sense to use it then actually creating each certificate one [...] Read more:MySQL
MySQL: counting results 2008-07-02 06:24:42 You have a query and you want to display the results
on a web page but because there are so many results you want to paginate the data so the user can have some links like "prev page, page 1, page 2, next page, last page" that you can see on a lot of sites [...] Read more:MySQL
Where’s the xml sitemap? 2008-07-11 11:55:38 Someone contacted me through the contact form to ask me where is the xml sitemap generated by the xml sitemap module for pligg .
If he would have read my first post about this module I think he would have eventually figured out where it is but since that first post was written a long [...]

It was tested with both exim 4.63 ( on debian etch ) and exim 4.69 ( on debian testing/lenny ) .

Scour: The socially search engine 2008-07-24 06:23:03 I just started using Scour, a search engine that let's you vote and comment on the results.
Scour queries the top 3 major search engines: Google, yahoo and live to provide results so it's like using your preferred search engine with a social twist. You can vote up or down each result and comment on it [...]

Still have ssh access as root (ssh keys or can still remember password for root ) ? Most of the time I use dsa keys for ssh [...]
