I’ve been trying to find a production platform for Edda, the Netflix OSS app for tracking AWS resources.
The application is written in Scala, which gets compiled as Java bytecode. The build toolset used by Netflix is gradle, and they deploy the application for testing into Jetty. Jetty can be used in a production environment, but the setup that comes with the build set with Edda is not really designed with a production server in mind.

Traditionally if one was to secure a web server using TLS (or previously, SSL) – then one would configure your web server to use TCP port 443 to listen for TLS requests from clients (browsers). When a browser connects to the web server using the HTTPS protocol, the server would encrypt the communications and all would be well with the world.
A problem occurs when you use name based Virtual Hosting on your web server.
I host this blog in WordPress, and it’s a great micro CMS with all the bells and whistles. I also publish and host the XML file for a podcast of the Angry Human. It’s picked up by feed burner, and then iTunes takes the feed burner RSS feed and et voila! All the Apple listeners to the show Angry Human by David Biedny get their recent shows!
I recently had an issue where I’ve moved this site from Rackspace Cloud Sites to the Godaddy Managed WordPress sites.
This is an old review I wrote and never posted, but it’s still relevant today. My conclusion is up to date for 2011.
Having just purchased and watched seasons 1 and 2 of The Tudors from iTunes (I missed them on Showtime), I was searching the net for other peoples thoughts on the quality of these TV shows. One review I came across was from AllForces.com, concering iTunes quality vs Bit Torrent. Since their blog post in 2005, Apple seems to have upped the standard of their TV show offerings.
I’m be the first to admit that I’m an Apple fan, with my Mac laptop the primary downloader of these TV Shows, syncing to my iPhone and also viewing the shows via front row on my Mac Mini. It’s the viewing of these on the Mac Mini I will review.
Download and try the following OS, and give it a go. I’m actually using Ubuntu to host this website and a number of other clients sites, although I’m using the 10.04 LTS edition. LTS editions have longer lifecycles, which saves you having to rebuild your server so often – and patches are supplied for the life of the edition.
Ubuntu Linux v10.10 Ubuntu is a Linux 2.6 based Operating system, and is, simple and well supported with “Graphical based” installers and tools.
If you’re a tech head, and you’ve been around Object Orientated languages – then you’ve surely heard of Ruby.
I’ve been around people who are passionate about Ruby, but never caught the bug. What I did do whilst others were programming away, was read about ruby. One day whilst reading I came across the name of an online persona Why the lucky stiff, also known as _why.
Whilst _why was/is considered a prolific and influential programmer of Ruby, what was fascinating was his disappearance.
We ARE living in exponential times, as this video clearly documents.
I first saw this video at Eastman’s Genealogy website.

Downloading MySQL and installing on Leopard is a breeze with the native package.
I migrated my database (dump/restore) and recreated my wordpress user, but still kept getting this error:
Error establishing a database connection The user could log into the database from the console as shown:
` lantrix@lexx:~ $ mysql -u wordpress -p Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 19 Server version: 5.
This post does not show a successful outcome in case that’s what you where hoping for.
I was trying to get OpenBSD bootstrapped using the PXEBoot NIC in a server. I decided to use my Mac which has tftp and bootpd installed. This post is quite in depth and technical so if you are game then read on.
