Comment on PHP Developers, Keep me Sane by Greg Allard

I've been using python a lot recently and I like they way they work with their errors. Instead of suppressing it, you are catching it and then you have a chance to do some logic in that case. I guess php implemented a way of doing it that way also, but no one uses it.

Yeah, PHP is funny that way.

I open use it to suppress errors from file manipulations (delete, etc). Whatever happened to the good old days of coding when stuff returned 0 on success? Exceptions have their purpose, but I think sometimes that PHP's gone exception crazy.

Comment on How To Use Triggers to Track Changes in MySQL by Greg Allard

OLD and NEW are used on UPDATE triggers. OLD.col_names will access the data that is in the row of the database before the UPDATE query runs and NEW.col_names will access the data that the row will be updated to.

IF OLD.first_name != NEW.first_name

That checks if the UPDATE query is changing the information for first_name.

I've seen a few sites mention it and I would like to check that out also. I was wondering how to pronounce that word for a while. I should have just looked it and I would know it's pronounced “engine x”. I subscribed to your feed so that I'll know if you do post about it.

I'm glad you liked it. I'll try to find the time to test nginx one of these days. It seems to be another nice alternative. Isn't the open source world marvelous?

Regards!

That is a really good article and I'll be following along when I get around to using a different server for static files.

Hi, thanks for sharing.

If you'd like to host your media on a separate web server, for example Lighttpd, you may like to check this article I wrote about setting up Apache and mod_proxy with Lighty for Django on Ubuntu.

It shares many steps with your process and may present a few alternatives.

Regards!

I didn't mention anything about a mail server in this post. I found this page that can set up forwarders easily: http://eightpence.com/howto-setup-mail-forwardi...
