Have a read please and tell me what you think in your comments, or just rate using the stars below!! I think this is definitely a 5 starer!

To give an over view, it is about how to implement a scalable architecture in PHP Oracle applications, it is the first in a series i will tackle technical implementation later on.]]> http://www.gareth.fiford.com/index.php?entry=entry080220-142222 2008-02-20T00:00:00Z 2008-02-20T00:00:00Z PHP Oracle Hositng has been relauched with a new website on a new server.

I was really impressed by the rapid development process and the polishedness of the final product.

I was so interested that i started looking into Ruby. Exploring the site took me on to a live ruby command line that had a tutorial built in, in my browser. the url is http://tryruby.hobix.com/, it truely rocked, and i was coding OO ruby in minutes.

I was also looking into ruby on rails scalability, and like jboss it can be scaled using mod proxy in apache, what really excites me is this coupled with Amazon online computing cloud for scalabilty, almost infinite low cost horizontal scalability for a web app!!

All in all a recipe for massive scalability and web 2.0 yuminess]]> http://www.gareth.fiford.com/index.php?entry=entry080108-212726 2008-01-08T00:00:00Z 2008-01-08T00:00:00Z PHP Oracle hosting for Agencies and Resellers is available at the following URL:
http://www.phporaclehosting.com/agency

PHP Oracle hosting for agencies represents a unique cost effective way of adding value to customer solutions. Give your customers the power of Oracle for the costing structure of MySQL.

Thanks guys

Alfie, our golden Labrador, still weeing and pooing everywhere.

He is lovely and gets on with henry really well.]]> http://www.gareth.fiford.com/index.php?entry=entry071116-124907 2007-11-16T00:00:00Z 2007-11-16T00:00:00Z from yast.

Or just use the one click install taken from opensuse site:

zd1211-firmware-1.3-35.noarch.rpm One Click Install

After this the dongle should just start working and you can connect with network manager applet in gnome or knetworkmanager in kde.

sax2 -p

Run the following to use the more stable i810 driver:

sax2 -r -a -m 0=i810


This should get a minimum working. then when you have got in to a graphical environment, either by restarting or by issuing:

init 5

Now you can configure properly by issuing the following at the terminal(as root):

sax2 -r -m 0=i810

and you can use the graphical setup tool.

Hope this works for you, leave comments if you have any suggestions or success stories.]]> http://www.gareth.fiford.com/index.php?entry=entry071105-221425 2007-11-05T00:00:00Z 2007-11-05T00:00:00Z

Hope you are all upgrading now or have upgraded to leopard, feel free to leave comments on your experiences with it.]]> http://www.gareth.fiford.com/index.php?entry=entry071030-100959 2007-10-30T00:00:00Z 2007-10-30T00:00:00Z
UPDATE this should also work for 9.2 VIPER

Just issue the following in the command line before running ./db2setup, and log out and log back in again.


export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1
echo 'PATH=/opt/ibm/db2/V9.1/bin:$PATH
export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1' >> ~/.bashrc


This sets the correct environment for your session and for future sessions as well as putting the db2 bins on your path.

VIPER USERS
Change the path accordingly]]> http://www.gareth.fiford.com/index.php?entry=entry071027-233611 2007-10-27T00:00:00Z 2007-10-27T00:00:00Z
I have stopped running my openSuse directly on my mac book now i run it in vmware fusion and 10.3 seems to run fine, even though it is not listed as supported.

Below is a nice screen shot of my desktop in gnome.




Hope you like it!!!]]> http://www.gareth.fiford.com/index.php?entry=entry071027-233159 2007-10-27T00:00:00Z 2007-10-27T00:00:00Z
