It’s been a while since I started using Org-mode. Like four months or so. When I discovered it I knew I would blog about it sooner or later, but I didn’t want to rush things.
Before writing about it, I wanted to give it a run to see if it could be of any help to [...]

It is no secret that our Cherokee-Project Community has been growing steadily and relentlessly over the last couple of years. In fact, it has been doing so well that we’ve reached a point where holding a conference about the project actually makes a lot of sense. A lot of people have been asking about this, [...]

On a previous post I introduced our first Cherokee Project screencast. We were going to wait for a new and improved website before we made them public, but what the hell! Why wait? I’m sure the new Cherokee-Project Screencast Collection will come in handy for many of you.
From here I’d like to thank P.V. Anthony [...]

I must confess I’m amazed. At this time and age, there are still quite some theoretically influential folks that are convinced that “CC is not even an option” nowadays. I’m not going to point fingers here, but I guess you’ll understand that shit happens if you live in Spain, like I do.
After all, this is [...]

Alvaro an I have been putting together a screen-cast to show an overview of Cherokee-Admin’s capabilities. It is just an introduction, but I think this kind of thing is really helpful to spread out the word about Cherokee’s multiple merits.
We wanted to brag about our little baby. After all, not every serious web server out [...]

Some months ago I blogged about my adventures with an online scammer. I had some good laughs with emails going back and forth, and it was really funny seeing what kind of things actually makes people take the bait. Disturbing, but funny.
Well, it seems like all the charade I had during several weeks is nothing [...]

Last weekend I went to the wedding of my good friends Álvaro López Ortega and Lidia Fernández Gago. I don’t fancy weddings, but I must say I loved this one. The couple made sure we all had a great time, and had several surprises ready for us to enjoy the party.

Yes, it is true. I’ve been scammed. Sort of.
The other day I listed for online sale some computer equipment I had laying around, and this was bound to attract scammers. I don’t know why, but it happens, and it turns out almost always these guys are from Nigeria. It could be that laws there are [...]

I’ve been writing a wrapper for Cherokee’s MySQL load balancer to transparently replace PHP’s MySQL functions and provide connection pooling and database balancing at absolutely no cost. And I encountered a problem wanting to override those built-in functions.
It looks like the override_function() has a bug that prevents from using it to override two or more [...]

I posted a note about this at Cherokee’s main site, but I totally forgot to tell you over here. My bad.
However, it’s never late to share good news. A couple of days ago Cherokee’s family incorporated a Polish Cherokee Community as new member!
And they took a huge leap forward by creating Cherokee Polska, which isn’t [...]
