You got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. -“The Gambler” by Kenny Rogers When raising money for a new business, there are times when you find people that you genuinely like.

SSL, php-fpm and nginx
Like many switching to the nginx/php-fpm combo, I ran into a situation with some PHP scripts that relied on $_SERVER[“HTTPS”] having a value of ‘on’.

RESTful Routing, LocationMatch, ForceType and...
For years I’ve been seeing articles about RESTful routing, and watching developers contort their code including route aware this and that. All these gyrations come with a performance penalty, not to mention a code maintenance cost. (More lines to maintain = more pain in the ass.) There are a few brave souls who’ve bucked this trend and gone with the original tools designed for this...

Just a simple, quick script that’s not even worth a repo. Copy, paste, tweak, zap, and exhale. Excessive use of this script may run up a tab at Amazon. No additional charge for...

PlayStation Network Credit Card Data Comprimised,... →
parislemon: Yesterday, I noted the Playstation Network was an “awful black eye” for Sony — one of the worst tech meltdowns I can remember seeing. Scratch that.
