OpenSolaris on the Intel D510MO Atom
I wanted to tryOpenSolaris on the new Atom board on a seperate disk before the machine got settled into normal use (normal use covered in this post). First impression, the LiveCD booted and worked correctly including graphics in VESA mode and the networking. The install was simple and painless, and afterwards came right up with […]

toStr revisited
After my initial toStr C++ exploration, I recent found myself reading about Boost’s lexical_cast, which is does something similar, albeit more general and with more verbosity. lexical_cast will not only convert nearly anything to a string, it will also do its best to convert anything to anything, via a string in the middle.

Zones on a single server
A few months ago my co-located Solaris server was hit by a root kit that setup a IRC bot. It appeared that it got it by attacking one of the off the shelf web apps I use. To prevent having to do a complete rebuild in the future if this happens again, I decided to […]

Crockpot Jambalaya
Sorry, no picture this time since I was taking it to a church function. I think that the seasoning could use some tweaking, maybe a bit less cayenne. Also, the cooking time for me should have been closer to the smaller number listed, rather than the larger number. The one time I did make it, […]

Setting up a jumpstart server for Solaris Express.
I guess this post will have a somewhat limited life span since Solaris Express is being retired in favor of OpenSolaris. However, some of the pages I always refereed to every time I needed to do this have disappeared, so I’m writing it up again anyway for future reference. Maybe I’ll update it again when […]

PostgreSQL connection pooling for mod_php
In a quest for better performance with postgres, I’ve been looking for connection pooling tools. There are a few quirks that I tend to require be met. First, it must run on Solaris. This isn’t so much a quirk, since the server runs Solaris and is SPARC hardware, and I’m not going to install a […]
