• PHP Documentor for VIM documented (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Thu, 27 Nov 2008 18:00:29 +0100

  Because I had a talk about how to use VIM in respect to PHP source code editing, I took the time during the week, to write some extensive documentation for PDV, the PHP Documentor plugin for VIM. Additionally, I documented my VIM file type plugin, which is also available through the SVN of PDV. Take a look at the README.txt to learn more. [Read full post…]

• Horde Groupware Webmail Edition (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  I like Horde quite much, it provides a comfortable web mailer (IMP) and some nice extra tools which give you a really comfortable groupware feeling with it... if you manage to set it up, once. By now, this has been quite a pain in the ass, which is why I did not upgrade my installation for a longer time. Though, now it was time to do so, because I already missed several security updates and bug fixes. [Read full post…]

  Last Thursday, during our regular usergroup meeting, we finally managed to set up some talks we had planned for a longer time now: [Read full post…]

• Apache vs. Lighttpd: "echo" performance (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100

  For a little private project, which makes extensive use of caching, I recently checked, where I could get gather some more performance from. Kore told me, that Lighttpd ships all of the pages of one of his projects in about 0.001 seconds, while mine still took 0.004 seconds on Apache. After some tracing I found the actual point of problem: The echo of the final output, which took most of the time. I tried to run the same project on Lighttpd and guess what: There were the 0.001 seconds. [Read full post…]

• eZ components on Ohloh (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  I tried a several times to get eZ components (and other eZ projects) into Ohloh. Ohloh claims to do "Mapping the open source world by collecting objective information on open source projects", which fits the website content quite well. If I got the basic project idea correctly, it should give managers an impression on the quality and usability of open source projects. Since managers usually want to have "hard facts", Ohloh tries to masure numbers it can extract from various public project data (e.g. from SVN). [Read full post…]

• Qmail and PHPs mail() function (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  While working with the eZ Mail component, for sending some emails comfortably, I noticed some issue with my Qmail installation. With some email accounts that received the emails, the headers were broken and had double line break characters, so the complete email was broken. That (weirdly) happened only with some servers (e.g. Gmail), while my own server handeled the emails gracefully. [Read full post…]

• Some usage stats (en)

  I just came across my website stats and found that the user agent allocation is quite interessting (August 2006): [Read full post…]

• Comfortable PHP editing with VIM -5- (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Thu, 27 Nov 2008 18:00:29 +0100

  More than a half year after my last "Comfortable PHP editing with VIM" post, I take up this series again, although I decided to let it die in January. Sadly I did not find any time by now, to extend PDV (the PHP Documentor for VIM plugin) further than it's version 1.0.1, which is available through vim.org and on my SVN. Anyway, I collected a lot of (at least for me) helpful VIM tips, which I'd like to share here: [Read full post…]

• Tool of the year: BitlBee (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  Kore pointed me to a tool called BitlBee. Imagine that I am currently connected to 4 IRC networks and I am using Gaim for Jabber and ICQ. While Gaim is quite satisfying, it disturbs, that you have 2 communication clients online. Beside that, it disturbs me, that I have 1 tab per conversation open in gaim. On my server already runs a bouncer to allow me to keep me connected t my networks while I'm offline with my client. [Read full post…]

• You never stop learning... (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  ... at least when you are using Linux! I noticed that especially yesterday again, when I ran the small bash line to check my temperature over and over again, after trying to set my fan-speed manually to maximum (so, I wanted to check if temperature of my CPU goes down). Jakob looked kinda scared at me and asked, why I did not simply use: [Read full post…]
