Ruby, Rails and such

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 […]

Linux keeps surprising me

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 […]

cPanel 11 up and running

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 […]

Still waiting for the stable release of cPanel 11

When I wrote the previous article about waiting for the stable release of cPanel 11, I never thought I would be waiting a month longer. I’m still not sure!
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’ll wait for a stable cPanel 11

I got a notification that Web Host Manager/cPanel is in transition to version 11, “the most extensive update ever”. Virtually every section will get an upgrade. This upgrade will be provided in 2 stages to handle the mass. The first stage will contain most of the necessary code and the second stage will provide the […]

Creating an IE6-friendly transparent PNG image with GIMP

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?
For some reason Internet Explorer […]

Installing Internet Explorer on Ubuntu

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 […]

Existing CMS or write your own?

Most web designers look for ways to get the websites up and running in less time. Nowadays there are a lot of Content Management Systems (CMS) to download on the net. They all have their benefits.
The problem with existing CMS is that you need to customize it to suit the needs of your customer. It […]

What’s the difference between the Ubuntus?

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.
Ubuntu, […]

Ubuntu 7.04: PHP4, you’re fired!

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.
I tried to install PHP4 using apt-get and aptitude, but I got the message that php4 is […]
