It’s been a little while since I talked about our little one, and my she has grown up a lot. She’s 14 months old now and she’s walking around like no tomorrow. She wants to walk so much that if you let her loose outside she will just walk and walk, and if you try picking her up she will protest

Freyja Growing Up

I’ve been using Linux on servers for years, since before I started learning to code. Finally, after something like 7/8 years I am almost fully confident in severing the ties to my highly underused Windows installation on my personal laptop, but there are still a couple of exceptions

I’m sad to say it, but I found Steve Jobs’ Thoughts on Flash more interesting than the ‘political-point-scoring’ being broadcast on the BBC. I’m glad that Steve has spoken out and answered his critics so well, but I wish David and Gordon would follow Apple’s lead and get on with ‘leaving the past behind’. Political Branding I got a leaflet about Mark Hoban through the post this evening

Thoughts on the prime ministerial debate

I took a trip up to London last Saturday and wandered along the South Bank in search of some good food. Sadly, there are surprisingly few inviting restaurants on that side of the river… In amongst the crowd, silly joggers and beams of fantastically warm sunshine, we came across Daniel Waples playing his hang. It’s an incredible instrument

Sorry the website had been down for a little while, there was an IP routing problem which I did not spot. I’m currently working on a High Availability LAMP setup, which I’ll post details and results for a little later, there should be some interesting trinkets in there for people looking for File replication, Database replication etc on a Linux based servers.

This is a very simple news system with comment support which is ideal for adding simple blog/news system functionality to any website needing that kind of system. In the past I'd usually use wordpress as a pre-built solution for adding this kind of content to a site and although you get a lot of extra benefits by using wordpress (as a result of its plugin system) there can be a lot of issues with tweaking the wordpress theme to suite the site. The method of embedding this system is so simple that it can be used easily within any site template and as such it's perfect for quickly adding blogging or news system style functionality to previously static sites or E-Commerce systems where an attempt at tying in wordpress could be very messy in reference to: About The Demo » Phpns » Open Source PHP News System ( view on Google Sidewiki )

Another really useful item from Oleg Burlaca. AreoSQL is a free web based database management solution which, given some development could be a decent replacement for the awful phpMyAdmin.

I love web stats and for a long time now (last 4 years or so) I have been analysing web stats with Google Analytics, which is probably one of the best apps for assessing basic stats (provided the web browser being used support javascript). For the most accurate stats I also use AWStats (which has provided great results for the last 7 years) Within the last year or two I have also employed the use of ClickTale for the analysis of user interaction

How to visualise your webserver logs as a map of user progression through your site content

A really useful tool for providing simple stylised views of apache webserver log files via the browser. Ideal for providing a level of log file monitoring/analysis to novice web developers or website owners who don't want or need to see the raw log file text, but might need to keep occasional tabs on how the webserver is behaving as part of a bigger website control panel style app.

Apache Live Log (ALiveLog)

Really interesting project. Combined with an appropriate backend this may well be useful tool for anyone wanting to implement the kind of product customisation features you find on printshop websites such as cafepress, etc. in reference to: "A complete vector graphics editor in the browser" - svg-edit - Project Hosting on Google Code ( view on Google Sidewiki )
