New machine and what I do not like about apple
26/12/08 16:43 Filed in: Sysadmin
I bought a new laptop, an apple Macbook pro 2.4 early
2008 edition, so the previous generation macbook pro.
So why this one? The thing is, I did not want to spend too much money and I got a bit annoyed with some of the limitations of the old macbook, mostly the casing which started falling apart and the lack of a good gpu. Read More...

Rapidweaver
23/03/08 18:33 Filed in: Sysadmin
I discovered rapidweaver thanks
to the tips of a few friends of mine. The
problem was, I did not have the time to build a
new website from scratch, including writing new
css and html code and all that. And not for
every site I need a completely original homemade
website. And more important than that: it is
better to have a website which is not homemade,
with off the shelf templates, than NO site at
all. So rapidweaver. It is extremely easy to
setup a website quickly with blog, slideshow
etc. It is also quite reasonably priced. See:
Rapidweaver.
Blog implementation
23/03/08 18:09 Filed in: Sysadmin
So I was looking for some way to implement my blog in
a secure and safe way. I considered a lot of options,
like wordpress (which is a festering pile of securety
bugs), drupall (of which I am quite enthousiastic)
and nucleus (which runs my old blog, but is not
ideal). I wanted it to be secure, fast and scalable,
which has for me a higher priority than features. So
I thought, why not just generate static html? So this
is how I do it, using rappidweaver, which I can
highly recommend. I will talk about rapidweaver
later.
