Ventrilo stats script failed

April 21st, 2010

The Ventrilo stats script didn’t work between 2010-04-15 and 2010-04-21 because the ventrilo_status program was unable to contact ventrilo localy. A simple restart of ventrilo was all that was needed.

Server died, moved to VPS

March 2nd, 2010

My old work horse from 2002 has died. I think it was the power supply or the motherboard. Well, I took the opportunity to move to the cheapest VPS at ITSTADEN (merged with Serverconnect AB). With only 128 MB of RAM, I had too tweak the installation quite a bit. Nginx + PHP-FPM is now serving my web pages instead of Apache + mod_php. And of course, Ventrilo is up and running with a greatly reduced response time.

For swedish customers, I can recommend ITSTADEN. I took a chance with almost no reviews found via google, and a website that doesn’t contain much documentation. However I have got my tickets solved quickly and everything worked out smoothly. And it’s quite cheap :)

Announcing Gmail Informer

March 2nd, 2010

I’ve created a new page for my latest app: Gmail Informer. It’s a pretty small but very useful gmail inbox notifier. Yes! The world actually needs another one! ;)

The current version, 0.4.1 has some known bugs and I will upload a new version ASAP.

Project hosting

October 18th, 2009

If anyone knows of a good project hosting solution, feel free to comment on this post. I want something similar to Redmine (code browsing + tickets), but I don’t like passengers (Ruby on Rails) huge memory allocation. Maybe a solution in PHP 5?

Modding the link-page of iNove theme

April 7th, 2009

This post is mostly a reminder for myself. I modded the current theme (iNove by mg12) so that the links on the link page are shown in categories.

In links.php I replaced:

<div class="boxcaption"><h3>Blogroll</h3></div>
<div class="box linkcat">
  <ul><?php wp_list_bookmarks('title_li=&categorize=0&orderby=rand'); ?></ul>
  <div class="fixed"></div>
</div>

with:

<?php wp_list_bookmarks('category_before=&title_before=<div class="boxcaption"><h3>&title_after=</h3></div><div class="box linkcat">&category_after=<div class="fixed"></div></div>'); ?>

Ugly, but it works great ;)
