Wordpress 1 Comment »

Selena over at Tending the Garden, posted a very good video of why you would choose Wordpress or Drupal. It seems a little slanted towards Drupal but that may just be me ;-)

Replacing Sybase ASE’s Historical Server: Using OpenSource

ASE, DBI, Databases, Linux, OS, Perl, SQLite, Sybase No Comments »

I’m working on a Historical Server replacement.  I need to check with my employer as to whether I can open source it or not but the guts of it consist of:

  1. Perl POE/DBD::Sybase for the daemon/ASE db connections (using FreeTDS instead of OpenClient)
  2. SQLite for the local storage (way lower overhead than ASE or SQL Anywhere)
  3. Perl Catalyst / Template::Toolkit web front end with REST web services

All of this goes into a VMWare Appliance running Ubuntu 7.10 Server… a drop-in solution that can even be run on a laptop.  I’m hoping that my employer lets me release it as then I can zip it up and put it on sourceforge so everyone can benefit.

SQLiteman Ubuntu i386 package!

Databases, Linux, OS, SQLite 5 Comments »

I downloaded the excellent SQLite administration tool, SQLiteman, today.  Take a look at the screenshots.  I’m very impressed with it but was disappointed that they don’t provide an Ubuntu binary package.  So… I built my own Ubuntu package using checkinstall:

sqliteman_1.0.1-1_i386.deb

When you install the Ubuntu package, it will show up in the Applications -> Office menu.
