date() and creating common format log entries
I had to create an log in common format
and the problem was to insert the date for it something like "26/Feb/2009:16:09:08"
this is how is done in php date("d/M/Y:H:m:s");
the rest was easy copy pasted from another log

Pulse + skype delay issues in jaunty

If i talked with someone on skype 2.0.x on linux with another skype on ubuntu it worked ok without dealy

if the target was using skype on windows (new version) then my skype introduced delays it seems

the only way to make it work ok for us was to remove pulse audio

killall pulseaudio
sudo aptitude remove pulseaudio
sudo aptitude install esound
sudo aptitude remove /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio



now the cpu is working ok at 80% on this dell vostro , also watching the video
before was 100% with large delay for the remote target

Adding compression to javascript files , css for an A grade in performance

Here is the example for nginx but it can be done the same for an apache configuration

gzip_min_length 1000;

gzip_types text/html text/plain text/css text/javascript application/x-javascript text/xml;

gzip module usually is on but it must be configured as above

one smart thing to do is to precompress your javascript files and css ones

I propose an End Of Life Date for all IE browsers

DEC 31 2009

I'm little bit too optimistic but we can start with ie6 then 7 in 2010 and then ie 8 in 2011

also we can add an javascript to blogs so that message should be shown if browser is ie

nginx seems to be popular at wordpress

here is why : it's an very fast load balancer and is easy to use

practical guide to using nginx loadbalancer - Step 1

In this guide i will show you how to use nginx as an load balancer for php sites running on apache

You can see the old article where i describe the basic idea

I suppose nginx+apache are already installed and working

apache by default is on port 80 nginx on my machine is on port 8087 (by default is on 80 but i moved to 8087)

What is next ? Step one is to test nginx as an proxy for apache and to be an accelerator for static content

apache is to slow on that area , and nginx/lighty are small and blazing fast

replace any 80 port in apache with 8000

grep -r 80 /etc/apache2

and wherever you see 80 in port.conf or virtual host please replace with 8000

hen i have created the proxy config

sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/proxy

server {

listen: 80;

server_name: foobar.example.com;

location / {

proxy_pass http://foobar.example.comt:8000;

}

}

restart both apache and nginx

and you should load the local websites and test if they are ok

Next we will add an rule so that all images / javascript /css will not be proxied but served by nginx

erver {

listen 80;

server_name www.foobar.example.comt;

# serve static files

location ~ ^/(img|images|javascript|js|css|flash|media|static)/ {

root /var/www;

# expires 30d;

}

location / {

proxy_pass http://www.foobar.example.com:8000;

proxy_set_header Host $host;

proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

}

}

So now we have fast serving for images and php is served by one apache

Next we will add more apache servers and do some tests

try to change the password from web on icq.com

you can't

also let's see the phun on jabber.org

http://www.jabber.org/web/Password_retrieval

i can't really use the jabber.org website - no usability

Update:

i found the change password in the pigdin's Accounts Menu

I wonder why the password change is not in the accounts -> Manage accounts -> modify

I also expected to use the jabber.org to change my password or create an new user

because of an my old phpbb account i thought that is safe and sure to reset all of my passwords on all
sites i visited , is good and healty even if i don't have the same password anymore :)

my digital trace :

it all started with an email account at uttgm.ro (mapopa)

then an free email at email.ro (mapopa)

after a while i used icq.com

then jumped to yahoo http://360.yahoo.com/jimi_compot

now i have several gmail accounts : mapopa, and for work popamariusadrian

I have hi5.com account also i have facebook account and of course linkedin and orkut

root password on android g1 dev phone aka dream

seems that all you need to do on this unlocked phone is to install an terminal emulator , then
do an simple su
with no password

what is next ?
i wait for r33 update so i can have google latitude or seach by voice
more useful would be gtalk with voice or skype with voice

also i think i will install the debian in paralel on it , so i can play with firebird/nginx/php

openkomodo seems to be pretty and with the nice dark colors

with eclipse i have to fight an long way to find the dark theme

also it is happy only if you have 1g or more of ram

openkomodo seems to be an good alternative for editing jscript, html , php or python

I was reading sed tutorials over the net and I almost forgot about sed -i option
to replace and save the file in the same time

http://spiralbound.net/2007/12/12/php-and-sed-for-string-substitution

I need it to replace some files , maybe it could be done in php more elegant
but later

also json_encode and decode function are really fun
for me , I have an . file where I save the values in json format and then get them in array format
for php

it seems that there are some issues with setting dual desktop display on my dell vostro system , i can't make it use an big screen and not mirror mode in 4.2 , it worked perfectly on an nvidia system with dual display

howto install ubuntu studio theme

sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-look

then choose the theme in system -> preferences - > appearance -> Ubuntu studio

Then in customize theme and choose window border (the minimize/maximize buttons looks the same and i usually change them to dark room - more sane)
