Today is one of those nice days you stumble upon every now and then. Being a geek, you simply have to be happy when a processing monster like this arrives to your workplace. Yep. It is! Octality‘s first and very own Sun Fire 12000. Yes, I know it was recently retired by Sun, but still [...]

The day has finally arrived. After a lot of hard work, we are finally releasing 0.8. It has improved quite a lot in this time. It is faster, much more stable and has been thoroughly tested and documented, at last! Unfortunately not everything are good news. After putting in a lot of effort fixing the [...]

Many users have told us that they would love to have some more documentation about Cherokee. One of the tasks before relasing 0.8 (which is almost ready by now) is documenting. Yesterday I wrote a small tutorial that will be part of the documentation. It is a simple walkthrough to set up a couple of [...]

Our next release of Cherokee, 0.8.0, will once again have a native Windows package. A few moments ago it was officially announced at the mailing list. We had plans to finally fix it in the very near future, but Alvaro decided to speed things up a bit. This guy is amazing! ;) I’ve been rather [...]

You’ll have lots of information elsewhere, so I won’t lose our times telling you about it. It has been working flawlessly with my new Thinkpad since February, so I’m pretty sure it is a polished product [...]

Precisely one week after releasing the long awaited 0.6 version of this web server, Cherokee 0.6.1 has been released minutes ago. As I’ve said once and again, the project has been gaining momentum and here you have the download link to prove it. It is mostly a maintenance release since most of the development efforts [...]

As I anticipated some weeks ago, Cherokee 0.6.0 has finally been released. It was a couple of days ago but it caught me away and with no Internet access until now. Anyway, the trunk was branched on March 6th and after some exhaustive testing and a little polishing here and there … here it is!!! [...]

I’ve just read some interesting news of what will be coming with Linux kernel 2.6.23. In short, as you can read in Gmane: This interface allows the ability to write the majority of a driver in userspace with only a very small shell of a driver in the kernel itself. It uses a char device [...]
