A while ago I started to get interested in Ruby, or so I thought. I found out that it’s actually Ruby on Rails (RoR) I fell in love with.
I’ve dedicated some of my time to studying the ins and outs of RoR. There seem to be a lot of information about RoR in blogs and […]

The more I use Linux, the more I fall in love with it.
Recently I decided to remove Xubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn completely, format the hard drive and install Ubuntu 7.10 Gusty Gibbon. Before I did, I made sure I made a backup of my home folder and my data folder. After installation I just copied […]

I finally got to installing cPanel 11 today. I did run in to the same problems I described before. No mails were accepted from external servers. In the exim_mainlog I was getting “unrouteable mail domain” rejections, and mails were bouncing.
I searched the cPanel forums for answers, asked for help, but all the advise I was […]

According to the cPanel release schedule the release of STABLE has been moved to July 31, more than a month later than it was when I wrote […]

I often see that templates are made with transparent PNG images, which show a gray background in Internet Explorer 6, instead of the transparency. However, with a couple of extra steps, it’s easy to create a transparent PNG image with The Gimp that also works in IE6.
What’s up with this bug?

Although my stats prove differently, studies still show that most Internet users still use Internet Explorer 6.
When building websites, it’s important to keep an eye on these statistics, especially since browsers tend to display websites differently. IE up to version 6 have an own agenda when it comes to displaying contents and handling styles. That’s […]

Some of my friends seemed a little unclear about the different Ubuntus out there. One example is of a friend who asked how I can upgrade my Xubuntu installation to Feisty Fawn. “Isn’t Feisty Fawn the new Ubuntu?” and “What is the code name for the 7.04 version of Xubuntu?” are questions I recently heard.

After my upgrade to Xubuntu 7.04, code named Feisty Fawn, I discovered that PHP was not installed. Before the upgrade I was notified that some packages would be uninstalled, including Apache2 web server, which includes the PHP installation.
