This morning I read an article on Linux Magazine (Ten Things You Didn’t Know Apache 2.2 Could Do | Linux Magazine). Two features really jumped out at me.
Server Name Indication (SNI): Allows a single IP address to support multiple SSL certificates. This is great because not only does it usually cost more for [...]
As the article below states, Boston College has stopped offering e-mail accounts to new students, as of 2009. They have, instead, created an e-mail forwarding service so, for example, josh@mandala-designs.com would forward to my hotmail, gmail, yahoo, whatever account I wanted to use.
This is an interesting trend. I wish I were at the meetings [...]
When setting up passwordless logins I always seem to miss a step. The following link is a useful resource.
I need to find all the records that were last modified more than one month ago, and delete them. How do I create the date dynamically with MS SQL?
dateadd(month, -1, current_timestamp)

SugarCrm is one of the most recent software apps to catch my attention. I’ve heard a lot about it in the past, but until recently have not played with it. Recently, we installed on our server garden and I’ve been very impressed. While it starts as a contact management system, it has some design features [...]
Introduction
PayPal is depracating their old PayFlowPro API’s and so we needed to upgrade to the new SDK. Despite PayPal’s efforts, this is not a simple task.
First I reviewed PayPal’s docs: https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/gateway_update_custom_dev . The PayPal link walks you through determining if you need to upgrade, and then directing you to the correct SDK.
