nginx is a very fast and very lightweight web server that can handle static HTML blazingly fast, and does very well with dynamic (PHP) content as well. In fact the very site your viewing is running atop of nginx. nginx isn’t ideal for every server, and can’t handle SVN or WebDAV among other protocols. But for your average site running PHP, Ruby or Django, nginx is choice.
The trouble was that I have lots of site (like this one!) that rely on a myriad of rewrite rules and logic to direct users properly. Because we lose the mod_rewrite provided by apache, we need to tell nginx about our rewrite rules.
Luckily the logic is very similar, and all expression based as before…
Everyone is talking about Google’s Nexus One. Most people are saying that an unlocked phone for $529 just won’t fly here in America. We like our phones with a ridiculous amortization attached through 2 year contracts so we feel like we’re getting a deal. Sure we end up paying far more than the phone is worth – but we don’t pay it all at once. That’s the American way – defer.
Now if you tell a company like Verizon that you don’t want their discount phones for new contracts they will say fine.. but you won’t save any cash. In fact you’ll pay more for unlocked phones plus an overpriced contract.
However for those fortunate few who have escaped the new-every-2-until-your-dead plan there are other options – like a Google Nexus One for $49. If you’ve not had enough of my Verizon bashing, please read on.
I wrote a month or two ago about my Android application for Netflix subscribers. The application allows users to fully manage their instant and disc queues, browse recommendations and search all titles.
The reason then for this post is to share an update and gloat a bit. QueueMan has a whole bunch of new features, has been downloaded nearly 5,000 times (Update: Over 10,000 times!), is tested and proven on Motorola’s Droid platform, and is getting quite positive reviews compared to other Netflix apps on the market. Oh yeah – and it’s all open source – Booyah!

For sometime now Google has been offering its custom built mobile OS – Android – to various carriers and manufacturers. News has been released however that the company plans to offer its very own phone direct to consumers by Quarter 1 – 2010.
I just got up and running with Fedora 11 after Ubuntu finally pushed me over the edge. Every update seemed to break something else for me.
But anyway Fedora is great, save one small caveat – I couldn’t run any 3rd party 32bit applications. Ok, make that one huge caveat. Consider some critical apps like Flash, or Android SDK that just wouldn’t fly. Rather than downgrade my distribution to the 32bit flavor (which too would solve this dilemma) I opted to keep my 64bit distribution and just add the needed 32 bit binaries.
SO you want to install Android SDK, or another 32bit app on Fedora 64bit? Read on!

QueueMan aims to be the Open Source Android application for Netflix subscribers. And it has already gotten some great reviews.
Netflix application for Android devices (Nexus One, G1, Droid, Eris, others)
Isn’t it adorable!
SAX, or Simple API for XML has grown to be the standard in Java XML parsing. Numerous studies show how its performance, in the majority of circumstances, beats others such as PULL.
Does that mean you should just bang out a custom handler and expect solid performance, hardly.
This article has only two tips, but it can have a huge impact. read more…
So you host 13 domains on one server and want SSL certs for each domain. The cost of unique IPs is an obstacle indeed, but what if you didn’t need any unique IP addresses?
IMpossible you say? Not with the release of Apache 2.2.13!
I stumbled on this nice little feature called SNI (or Server Name Indication) that allows multiple domains to share an IP and implement SSL without showing warnings to users or confusing Apache. I found this beauty after reading another great article on Linux Magazine, Ten Things You Didn’t KNow Apache (2.2) Could Do
So those of you running your own servers can take advantage by upgrading today!
For those of you relying on a Host you should start bombarding them with requests immediately. DreamHost members can vote up the already created suggestion to implement this.
This is a response to a question on the DreamHost wiki posted by anonymous.
“I have a Contact page using form mail, and want to include a checkbox that enable visitors, to also subscribe to our Announce List when posting their form mail.
Is there a facility for adding users to the Announce List without using form POST”
Without using POST? I am not sure about that.. but using a checkbox to subscribe users is a snap.
