busy busy busy
Yes I’ve neglected this once again I will make time soon to write a proper entry but for now this will suffice.
Goobii now has installed:
* Trac - (hmm i wonder what his cooking in there ;)
* SVN
* DAV / SVN - checkout at http://www.goobii.com/svn/
* Apache2 w/ SSL
* PHP 5.2.1
* MySQL 5.0.38
* a bunch of mod’s for apache.. rewrite, alias, etc etc
I think with the exception of dovecot for pop3 email then i’m almost done. subsequently if anyone is reading this that has setup dovecot on Ubuntu in the past (yes I’m looking at you FredNerk and Kestrel) then I’d much appreciate any feedback.
Sub domains currently enabled:
* jenni.goobii.com
* quotes.goobii.com
(more to come..oh and Appa’s site)
I promise the next entry won’t suck, Or will it?

Yes we’re back
Sorry to all you loyal readers that I dropped off the blogosphere for so long.
My last host had a crazy outbreak of Mpack. PowerVPS were handling it pretty bad so I decided if they don’t appreciate a loyal customer then it’s time to move servers.
So now i’m running goobii on a new host, using Ubuntu Fiesty and some virtualhost software… all self managed.
Hopefully moving to a BSD server soon but I will indeed keep you all updatedon how that turns out.
On other fronts, I recently got a new job at Komodo CMS as a software developer and am really happy there. Everyone is really cool but passionate about what they do and our product is amazing…My first rollout site went live and its the first to integrate Viostream’s service if you want to have a peak then head over to thefoundry.net.au or check out the showcase page on Komodo CMS.
So if you haven’t seen me online in a while or I am online but i fail to change my status, you know i’m at work.
Anywho i’ll keep this short. I hope you’re all keeping well and not too annoyed that i dissapeared too long.
Till next time,
Peace.

Long time no see
Sorry it’s taken so long, I’ve been keeping myself busy lately working on my folio and generally trying to steer myself back toward more web/application development. I will admit it’s been a hard road as usually with all of my projects I will begin development and once I workout how to get over those first few large hurdles which the project is usually created to showcase, I get bored by the rest of it and will usually stop developing or deliberately procrastinate.
It’s my vice as a developer and creator because without completed work you can’t showcase anything. It’s like designing a car engine and then having no car to put it inside of, obviously your engine isn’t going to show its potential because there is no solid real-world example it’s merely prototype.
So what’s on the go you ask? Well firstly there is PHP Parrot which is an all purpose quote manager utilising my AJAX based scaffolding library ‘SPASM’ it’s intended for people who want something fast and easy to install so I’m worried that people won’t see the real potential of the backend code driving it. Also there is ACAN 3.0 which I haven’t really begun as I’m waiting on Muz to start writing the spec and his been extremely busy as always. I can see the future now, many many late nights ahead and more Skype conversations than you can poke a stick at…agreed Muz?
Aside from that I’ve been coding templates for various people one of which will be used as the base of a web application though I don’t think im at liberty to reveal details of that just yet.
Away from web development I’m reading on Object Oriented concepts using university literature handed to me by Konza with supplemented video lectures. Very interesting indeed and I think it’s starting to all click finally.
In real-life ™ I had an eye test recently and learnt that I have astigmatism as a result I have since purchased new glasses which I will be wearing anytime I’m not at the computer and maybe soon while driving. Yes I’m finally going for my Victorian license..haha
A few issues with certain family members have arisen too so anyone who has a moment to prey for them I’d much appreciate it…I don’t think prayer needs names, does it?
So all in all I’ve been keeping busy and I’m really sorry to neglect any long time readers but rest assured I’m not dead yet touch wood
Till next time,
Take care.
