Don't let anyone tell you that Linux web servers won't work in a windows environment.

I really hate windows servers. Call me a linux snob fine but really the windows servers annoy the hell out of me. I mentioned this before but when I started at Roswell the web stuff was all 100% windows, .net. , mssql. Now, all new web dev is now 100% PHP/apache/mysql on linux and we have four new servers. I just finished setting up our fourth centOS 5 (RHEL 5) server and not only are they extreme performers both hardware and software but they also integrate seamlessly into our windows server environment.

The newest two servers were the first ones to run internal applications and yesterday I got mod_ntlm.so to compile on these 64 bit systems running apache 2 so that people from IE can auto authenticate internally as is required for our internal applications.

I also compiled pdo_oci.so so that our applications can access oracle through PDO. Neither was particularly easy on the system we were using but they both work perfect.

I am so thankful that my boss and his boss both trusted me and let us go in this direction. It will save us not only a lot of money up front but also a lot of money in time saved. Not to mentioned support from the head DBA who is agreeing to move new development into MySQL. The cost savings over oracle is tremendous.

Now we have all the yummy command line goodness and extreme extensibility of LAMPP at our disposal. I am thinking about building some more mods for apache that deliver additional information about our users as pulled oracle this week.

Here's to a great year 27 with new shiny floors!

I just saw the Red Lobster, Lobster fest commercial which prompted me to look at their website . They break the menus down by zip code. It was interesting to see the price differences between 14209 and 90210. I kind of figured they would be different but not in the way they are. Like why would a Maine Lobster dish be cheaper there and one with pineapple more expensive here.

Last night (e:fing) had his 30th birthday (e:fing,43693) . It was the first party I was at with the rockband game. I was no so good at it. For a while Chrissy (e:mrdeadlier)'s wife and I played drums together. I hit the top part ad she played the foot pedal. (e:enknot) and (e:megan) were so good at the game - you could tell they had a lot of practice!





It was so exciting to go to a party at someone else's house. (E:fing)'s wife Mary is also a very allergic person so it worked out for me. Usually, I can never go to any parties because everyone has cats or dogs. In general I almost never get to go into anyone's house because of allergies.

It was a pretty awesome time. I am so jealous of (e:fing)'s master bathroom. I always wanted one of those glass showers.
