Previously on UnixWars … I said in another post that I would be using a Thin Client as my home server. The machine is fanless, diskless and it makes no noise. The system boots from a low power Compact Flash. After setting things up, some friends decided to buy the exact same machine, so I’m [...]

Do you have a server at home running 24/7? Having permanent access to your home network can be very useful at times, as is sharing media and printers, or managing your downloads. My last server was actually a downgrade from my previous box in computing terms. It was no powerhouse, but being a fanless Epia [...]

It has been a while since my last post. Some rough month this has been, oh boy. Anyway, I wanted to let you know that we have released the new and improved Cherokee a couple of days ago. Since the project has advanced so much over the last months, we have decided to boost the [...]

I have talked previously about Cherokee’s MySQL Database Bridge, so I won’t be repeating myself. Check the information about the Cherokee handler module and the recipe for MySQL balancing on our main site if you are interested. Besides being the fastest implementation of its kind, it is really easy to use and offers a lot [...]

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 [...]

You know those times when you stumble upon a good idea and think it is plain genius? Alvaro told me about it this morning and I just had to share it with everybody. This is what you will find if you visit http://apache-es.org, a community in Spanish built to talk about Apache and system administration. [...]

Yesterday we reached yet another milestone in Cherokee’s development towards World Domination. After almost a month of hard work, our newest creation hit the streets. The official anouncement hasn’t even been made yet, but Cherokee 0.11.1 is out in the wild. Besides our regular bug fixes and performance enhancements, it is shipped with some new [...]

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, [...]

We’ve been really busy lately. After my adventures in Venezuela at the Infociencias and the Open Source World Conference 2008 in Málaga -I know, I know… I still have to talk about that and post some photos, but the days are not long enough!-, we’ve finally made the time to polish some last details. Today, [...]

Hi there. I haven’t yet had the time to blog about last week’s event at Venezuela where I spoke about Cherokee. Hopefully I’ll be posting some photos really soon. 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 [...]
