In these series we’ll assume that the reader is familiar with at least some basic Agile concepts as we won’t discuss anything else but how to set up a deployment pipeline, term introduced by Continuous Delivery.

SysAdmin – What Linux distribution version is installed?

Posted on February 8, 2011 by Marius Boitor
No Comments

Sometimes even the smallest task can be an issue if you are at the beginning of your Sysadmin career. More than that, in most of the cases if you ask the community you’ll not necessarily get an answer to be fully covered by your level of knowledge at that point in time. In the end, as I said, you can be at the beginning and you need Read more …

Posted on February 3, 2011 by Marius Boitor
No Comments

Question asked, answer provided :)
Let’s assume that we want to redirect everyone except us to a holding page – called by us maintenance.html – during our maintenance work. This is one of the most common scenarios out there.
If you use Apache as your web server you could use something like the code below. This is what I am using and it does the job.

CodeIgniter search and pagination, terms and uri segments (session)

Posted on July 29, 2010 by Marius Boitor
6 Comments

In our previous “CodeIgniter search and pagination, terms and uri segments” we tried to present our approach to a search system using CodeIgniter. Everything goes well but also everything can be improved. Also we need to understand that not all requirements are the same and different environments may require different solutions. This is one of developer’s talent measure to choose the right solution for a particular problem.
In this article we’ll try to use another approach, maybe a bit more reliable, using sessions. Read more …

Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. That is the subject of this article. And probably because of the reasons mentioned below this will be quite a short article.
It works. As simple as that. I’ve left just the counter in this article for a while because I wanted to have a good look at it, I wanted to see how it goes in production. The answer: it works.

Part IV – Four PHP MVC Frameworks

Posted on March 5, 2010 by Marius Boitor
No Comments

And finally the last episode of our four parts series about the most used, known and maybe loved(?) PHP Frameworks. Why the delay between the first three parts and the last one? Well, to be able to give a better answer I took my time to test a bit more all these frameworks using the latest stable versions available. Those versions probably are already upgraded to something new but we needed an answer in the end and here it is. My answer, as I anticipated in my other comments will be like this: Read more …
