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

Jobeet, an advent calendar

December 4th, 2008

Just perfect timing! I was going to learn using the symfony php-framework and version 1.2 has just gone stable. In addition there is now an advent calendar. Every day from 1st December to Christmas there will be hourly long tutorials on how to use symfony to create a modern web application from scratch.
