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 [...]

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 [...]

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. If you click on [...]

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 [...]

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.

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, [...]

After I came back to Spain on Sunday, I wen’t straight to Malaga to the Open Source World Conference 2008. I’m meeting lots of really interesting [...]

Hi there! Just a quick note to let you know I’m in Venezuela for the week. I’ll be attending the XXII Jornadas Infociencias in Barquisimeto where I’ll be talking about Cherokee. It’s my first time here, and I’m enjoying learning about Venezuela’s people and culture. Today I was told there’s this decree 3390 that makes [...]

As advanced yesterday, the release is here! I wasn’t too sure when we would polish the final details, but everything is ready now and it doesn’t make much sense to postpone the event. The previous major release was five weeks ago, and since then Cherokee has kept getting better. It already outperformed its competitors as [...]

Just to let you know, at the Cherokee Project we’re developing frantically these days and we’re done with most of the pending issues we had in mind. Cherokee 0.9 is about to be released, and as always it comes with interesting enhancements. And yes… once again there will be a performance boost. I’ll get into [...]
