The brief outage was due to a scheduled move of the servers to a separate rack and subnet dedicated to our work with the Center for Information Assurance & Cybersecurity (ciac) at the University of Washington Bothell (uwb), and a11y.com
I am currently exercising the new (to us) equipment and hope to winnow the less than awesome equipment over the next quarter. I spent the last six months finding the best in breed of the surplussed DL385 and DL380 chassis we (work) were going to have recycled. The team and I were able to find enough equipment to bring up one of each with eight and six gigs of memory, respectively. These will make excellent hypervisors for provisioning embedded instances of Slackware, Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, Debian, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris, OpenIndiana, FreeDOS, etc.
When I initially configured this xen paravirt environment, I failed to plan for integration with libvirt, so I am

Two examples of escaping data are the following:
The question I'd like to ask today is, when to do this? There are two possible moments:

Not part of my Don’t Assume series, but when a client states “Why is my database slow”", you need to determine if indeed the database is slow.
Some simple tools come to the rescue here, one is Firebug. If a web page takes 5 seconds to load, but the .htm file takes 400ms, and the 100+ assets being downloaded from one base url, then is the database actually slow? Tuning the database will only improve the 400ms portion of 5,000ms download.
There some very simple tips here. MySQL is my domain expertise and I will not profess to improving the entire stack however perception is everything to a user and you can often do a lot. Some simple points include:
I like both Adobe (Lightroom rocks!) and Apple (iPad rocks!), but I’ve been asked over and over again what I think about Apple’s new 3.3.1 policy. You know, the one that basically bans cross-platform development frameworks. And, in particular, basically nails the Flash coffin shut on iPhone/iPod/iPad. So, what do I think?
I love it.
And I’m surprised more developers, end users, business leaders, and general web standards lovers everywhere aren’t posting about how great this is.
It’s good for end users.
The App Store already has a signal-to-noise problem. With hundreds of thousands of apps, finding the good stuff is tough. Bear in mind that every single one of those Apps was built by

From our jobs page:
As a dealnews web developer, you will help maintain our current stable of deal and price-tracking web sites, and build new features and new web sites as we continue to grow. You’ll be part of a small, fast-moving team of developers that are involved at every stage of product development, from concept to rollout.
We use Gentoo, Apache, PHP and MySQL. While that does not need to be your expertise, it is a plus. We have a little Perl and Python thrown in as well. You will need to code on a non-Windows system as we run our development environment on our local machines. Currently, we all use Macs.
A big plus, however, is disc golf. We play weekly as an um, team building excercise. Yeah, team building.
There is many ways to populate vales into a HTML select element. Here is one example I’ve come up with.
PHP Code Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
<select size="1" name="szFooBar[]" multiple="multiple">
< ?php
$i=0;
while($obResults = mysql_fetch_row($saResults))
{
if ($_POST['szFooBar'] == $obResults[0])
{ $szSelectedValue[$i] = " selected=\"selected\""; }
else { $szSelectedValue[$i] = ""; }
printf("<option value=\"%s\"%s>%s\n",$obResults[0], $szSelectedValue[$i], $obResults[1]);
$i++;
}
?>
</select>
