I’m going to test some new designs for the page, so the layout might be a bit weird from time to time…

Codesalot now running nginx

tom — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 10:13:33 +0000

So I’ve had a lot of issues with the server running this site lately, basically related to apache2 hogging all system resources. I don’t really know what happened, but apache suddenly started using a lot of swap (all of it), and system load average was around 16.

I’ve tried fixing it for a while, but now I gave up. The site is now running nginx and load average seems to have dropped to around 0.03 now

Thanks to http://matthewhelmke.net/2009/01/08/a-short-howto-apache-to-nginx/ for the howto migrate!

Testing

Just figured out that it is possible to blog directly from word via the xmlrpc.php script!

To enable it, you have to allow it in WordPress itself

Settings -> Writing -> Remote Publishing

If you don’t do this, Word will give you a “Word Cannot Register Your Account” error.

Thanks http://thebalancequest.com/blogging/wordpress-settings-%E2%80%9Cword-cannot-register-your-account%E2%80%9D-error for the tip! I did not sit all night thanks to you

In word, just press new and “blog post”, and word will help you set it up.

Now for the result… Edit: Success!

Doug Lawty has written an excellent blogpost about OCS and split brain DNS and how to configure it:

Upgraded server

tom — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 08:21:48 +0000

I just upgraded the server from 256 MB RAM to 512Mb. Hopefully that will solve the swap issues that has made the site be very slow.

Vacation

tom — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 07:18:58 +0000

I’ve been off on vacation for the last few weeks, and I haven’t exactly updated during that time

But now I’m back and hopefully we’ll see regular updates with UC goodies in the time coming.

Finally

The domain has finally been transferred to the new registrar, and DNS is updated. So once again, welcome to the new and improved codesalot.com

Taking this opportunity to test a new googlemaps plugin I installed
