Laura attended CakeFest a couple months ago and got to meet some core Cake developers in person. In doing so she let slip that AMO was running on a pretty old version (1.1.12 - Released in December of 2006). Apparently 1.1.15 had some major performance boosts and since we melted the cluster a few times recently (the new API was the culprit) we thought it would be a good idea to investigate upgrading.
I’ve been playing with CakePHP’s session code lately and ran across an interesting (read: nerdy) problem with cookies on AMO.
When you're using CakePHP!
I might have played the devil’s advocate when Lars was hating on frameworks at the barcamp last weekend, but that doesn’t mean I don’t see his point. The latest in a series of frustrations with frameworks kept me up until 3am last night. What better way to cap it off than complaining on the internet?
I used to get several hundred spam emails a day on micropipes.com. I wasn’t thrilled with having a four or five digit message count in my spam folder, but I deleted the few that slipped through each day and didn’t think about it much more. Someone else running a domain on this server got enough initiative to do something about it though and installed a Grey Listing filter.
