I’ve been wondering what the uptake of PHP usage is on the internet today, and quickly went to PHPs‘ site to see if they have some statistics.
They have a nice usage stats page where a nice chart show that PHP is still going up after a small dip the last couple of months. Over 21m websites that is known of…
maybe this does not include intranets and ALL websites on the internet…
Again, I’ve visited SmashMyViper.com and still their stuck on $ 5 900 .
Anybody know anything about this site.
Well, I guess there must be something going on as they have a new entry on their blog about 2 days ago about a new drill hole video.
The reason for me not posting the link to my new Forum(Experiment #1) yet is because I’m having some difficulty with phpBB.
Okay, I have two forums running that I installed, IntoShape Forum and the new Forum also running on phpBB.
These forums are one two different machines but with exactly the same configuration(I hope).
The IntoShape Forum is running very well at the moment with no problems BUT this other one is giving me endless problems.
What happens is when I start browsing the forum(new forum) – for every odd page I visit the visitor count goes one up. So I’ve checked the phpbb_sessions table and I saw different IP addresses logged(encrypted), but then found this cool tool that encrypts and resolves the IP addresses.
I then found that these IP addresses point to saix.net(through which my internet connection goes) is cache1,cache2,cache3 and cache4 . So I know it is going through the cache servers in Sotuh Africa. So could it be the IP address resolution methodology of phpBB that is shunting me around… and WHY is IntoShape Forum functioning correctly(checked it’s IP – just going through cache1).
phpBB kicks me out when logged in as admin and going to the administration panel and then sometimes it goes through.
I think the problem lies where the caching servers have set routed the addresses correctly or IP tables are abit screwed, OR maybe it is because the domain name is nearly a day old that some routers are not updated yet ….
Anyways, will keep figuring this one out…
Wow, this is google in 1998:

Amazing how they started …
The last couple of weeks has been real hectic.
Since I left my permanent job in November 2005 I’ve been busy none-stop.
I started my own company, where I do contract work for numerous companies. In the first month I already made 3x more than I did at the old company.
I then also have my side projects, which are an SMS competition management product, which is finished but needs a nice web interface(when I have time) which I have a few clients.
The other project on which I’m working is the GOGLY project, which I hope and intent to finish by half March somewhere which is going to make me a millionaire or hope thats the case. If you do not try you won’t know.
And of course lets not forget IntoShape which takes a great deal of my time.
And on the other side I’m busy with contract work for a very exciting project that I cannot give too much info about but all I can mention is that it has to do with eLearning, and that my SMS services will also benefit from this…. 😉
Well, that is just a recap of what I do every day…
Now, some of my projects are almost or near completion but need some time to finish them completely.
I am looking at hiring a development dude to help me out and as one of the contract companies wants me to take over the dev department(so I’ll hire them staff) this will become a reality.
I am looking in customizing the template of this blog to something unique and personal.
I thing the first thing would be to get another image for the top, something like a open white beach or maybe more of a computer-related theme, although the current desert theme doesn’t look to shabby.
Well, by now everybody knows about the upcoming BlogMad blog traffic genrator/exchanger – call it what you will .
With great anticipation everybody is waiting anxiously for the outcome of this one.
I am one of the priveledged persons that was selected to be a beta tester, and yesterday the testing started in full fling.
So, hopefully now I can post some cool insider screenshots … stay tuned !!
Today we had some problems with a database getting slow, then we had to vacuum that baby .!!
As records are updated in Postgres, files become a bit unorganized and bulky. This condition can get very bad as more records are updated and added.
Vacuum is a command that sort of makes the problem better for you.
When run the first time on a database that has run for quite some time, you will immediately see the performance increase.
There are three(/4) types of Vacuums that can be done on a database
1. VACUUM
This is a standard vacuum. Least intensive and just marked the unused spaced in the file.
2. ANALYZE VACUUM
This updates the index.
3. FULL
This physically removes the unused spaced in the file.
Usage :
VACUUM [ FULL ] [ FREEZE ] [ VERBOSE ] ANALYZE [ table [ (column [, …] ) ] ]
Finally I decided on a premade theme.
I like this Desert theme, looks really nifty.
One problem I have is that the links are not categorized anymore, usually it was organized in cats like Blogs, Cool Sites etc.
I’ll fix that at a later stage, I don’t think it would be a biggy.
Well, there was the MillionDollarWebsite(can’t seem to find the URL), the guy made his million, now these guys are really going to some troubles promoting and making it worth your while.
They’ve got the magic ingredients: GIRLS and CARS.
I think these guys are really original, and so what if they make a quick buck, they really have a nifty idea, check our www.smashmyviper.com
