The War on Drugs
Like many of my peers, I believe that the so-called “War on Drugs” that the United States along with many other countries is engaged in, is ridiculous. It has produced no tangible results after decades of enforcement and trillions of dollars spent. Yet it continues, …

Oracle’s MySQL
I suppose this shouldn’t have come as a surprise to me. Inevitable really. But all the same, it was a bit of a shock to see it for the first time this evening…
Oh the times they are a changin’!

MongoDB 1.4.0 for CentOS 5
I know I haven’t posted anything in forever. I mean well! I’m working on an article outlining an introduction to encryption with GPG, as well as my own thoughts about all the NoSQL hoopla currently going on.
But for now, I’ve built RPM packages for MongoDB 1.4.0 …

MongoDB 1.2.2 for CentOS 5
I’ve built RPM packages for MongoDB 1.2.2 that are native to RHEL5 / CentOS5 systems. They’re in my Yum repository now. Note that I’ve also built newer packages for the Boost libraries because Mongo likes newer versions than the ones bundled with the distro. …

What I hope I take away from 2009
It’s simple, and I think best expressed by this graphic (my favorite from 2009).

MongoDB Packages for CentOS 5
Hi all. If you’re one of the (approximately nine) people who read this blog, sorry for the absence. Been a little busy for the last few weeks.
One of the things I’ve been busy with is playing around with is MongoDB which I think is really cool. I don’t have time …

Addison Kowalski pwns me onstage at FOWA London 2009
I’ve just gotten back from a few days in London for the 2009 FOWA, which was awesome. The very last session was “The Kevin and Gary Show” with the inimitable duo onstage. There was a live feed of all the #fowa tagged tweets going out written by the very cool …

web server and tools that power FriendFeed. The FriendFeed
application is written using a web …

Easy Python 2.6 / Django on CentOS 5
CentOS (and RHEL) 5 is great for some things, and not so great for others. What these distros do very well is never change. That’s their zen. If you get whatever it is you have working on them, then none of the official updates should ever break anything. They never …
