BarCamp Manchester a little review - 1st March 2008

Administrator | Main, BarCamp | Monday, March 3rd, 2008

I’m not usually one for blogging (does it show?), but I thought I’d write a little review about an excellent day I had at BarCamp Manchester on Saturday.

I’ve never been to a BarCamp before, so wasn’t sure what to expect. I’d briefly spoken to Paul about what to expect when I signed up last Tuesday at Manchester Co-Working day, and had seen the various other posts on the GeekUp mailing list too. Basically it boils down to having a number of “slots” and “rooms”, a bunch of post-it notes and anyone who wants to do a talk/discussion/whatever, can do what they want with that slot. Just write down your talk on a post-it note, and stick it in the slot/room you want to do. After all the slots have been filled, you can then check out exactly what’s going on in each room, and work out what you want to see/join in with.

Entry was free, as was all the food + drink, and even the after-party at Rain Bar was kindly sponsored too.

I took some photos with my K750i phone, and you can also see photos taken by others here too!

I’ll blog some more later on each of the slots I went to. I can’t wait for the next BarCamp, as I’ll definitely be up for doing a talk/discussion!

Downgrading to PHP4 on Fedora Core 6

david | PHP, Linux | Friday, April 20th, 2007

A useful page I found the other day enabling you to run PHP4 on Fedora Core 6 (also FC4 and FC5).

http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-php4.html

There are many (well-known) webhosts out there still using PHP4, and this is handy to have installed on a Xen VM for testing code, etc.

New server

Administrator | System notices | Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

Our new server was brought online today, and is now co-located at Redbus. We’ve also virtualized with Xen and now have different virtual machines for web, mail and the staging/demo system.

We’ve also upgraded the mail server to filter incoming email at the transport level, through the use of Sendmail’s milter system. These include greylisting, spam and anti-virus.

Welcome

david | Main, PHP, Linux | Wednesday, November 1st, 2006

Welcome to our home on the Internet.

What do you do?

We specialise in all the magic that goes on behind the scenes (aka back-end development) in making a website come to life! We work mainly with web design agencies who require bespoke development.

What else do you do?

We can supply and administer Linux, FreeBSD, and other *nix web, email and MySQL database servers, configured to your exact requirements. Do you have a server already and need someone to manage it? Maybe we can help.

That’s great, how do I get in touch?

Contact us by email or phone.
