buh.bz updated, using MongoDB now!
3Great news for one of my projects, buh.bz, was fully rewritten by Disassembler and now using MongoDB. Well first of all, buh.bz, was using phurl code, which was OK, but not quite there, then Disassembler started to rewrite a lot of the code, which at the time still was using MySQL and then some time ago we decided to fully move away from SQL, in this case MySQL and start using MongoDB, something similar what Facebook is using for databases.
This ideas should make buh.bz like 10 or even more times faster then before. Also the code was clean-up, which again it should speed up the code creation and redirection.
Also on the design part, there some small nice things added, like hidden “Custom alias”, nice error reporting, small statistics and Top 5 of the most clicked short URLs.
Well that’s about it, the only thing I can add here is to thank Disassembler, for the great work until now, and hopefully in the future more and more improvements will be added to buh.bz
New theme, new logo, new server, new setup…
0As some of you may have notice, my blog have change in every way possible. There is a new theme, new logo, new server and web server setup. Now when it comes to the new setup, I am talking about lighttpd with php-cgi. I’ve been testing this option for a bit and seemed the right one to go with. Lighttpd seems to work quite fine and the speed it’s really good, but there are some issues, it’s quite complicated to configure lighttpd. I mean, the style of configuration is a bit odd, but in general if you worked some time with web servers, you will get it, anyway I did.
The new theme, again is also new and it’s called Mystique and seems a very good option at the moment. It uses jQuery, making the theme and in general the blog look and feel nicer. When it comes to the logo, you will notice a mix between “Robin’s logo” (Batman’s right hand) and a normal text, all done in Adobe Photoshop.
Problems, Problems, Problems
0About 3-4 days ago, I upgraded WordPress to 2.8 by using the Administration console, which just delete everything on my server, well my blog I mean. The I’ve done it manually and screw-up the rest of it, was working hard, very unstable and weird MySQL issues.
Crap: Oracle buys Sun
2When I believed that everything is gonna work out between IBM and Sun, this falls into place, Oracle buys Sun, something that no one saw it coming. I don’t really have issues with Oracle, but they are not really open source or not as much as I would wish, also I can’t really understand why Oracle bought Sun… I mean Sun are more into OS, some hardware and a lot of Java, unlike Oracle which is more, well actually all database.
