I’m testing wp-super-cache, please comment if my website goes down!
I use twitter tools to post my twitter tweets to my blog; the thing is that twitter can sometimes slow down or break completely, this in turn kills wordpress.
To improve things I’ve changed how often I check twitter, you can do the same by editing the plugin file (wordpress/wp-content/plugins/twitter-tools/twitter-tools.php), see below for a code snippet…
function tweet_download_interval() {
#return 1800;
return 14400;
}
Enjoy!
I’ve been having problems getting my Cisco MARS Local and Global controllers to synchronise their topologies. This error message vexed me for a few days, but thankfully Cisco’s TAC solved it for me.
If you read Ciscos troubleshooting guides they will tell you to check that the MARS Local & Global controllers are running the same version, and to check that the SSL certificates are copied/pasted correctly.
If after checking the above Cisco recommendations and the additional basics ( network connectivity / ntp / timezones etc) check that both MARS boxes are running and have downloaded the same version of IPS signatures; under Admin -> IPS Signature Dynamic Update Settings -> Update Now.

If you’re happy with v0.4 and have it running fine then don’t bother, in fact edit phpbb_recent_topics.php so that WordPress stops complaining about finding a newer version.
Download phpBB_Recent_Topics_0.4.1 from wordpress.org
What’s New?
- The widget patch mentioned above!
What’s Old?
- Most importantly I have tested this plugin with phpBB3 and WP2.5 so I’ve updated the readme.txt to reflect this.

UNetbootin allows for the installation of various Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive, so it's no different from a standard install, only it doesn't need a CD.

What in the word is a bogon? It is a source address that should not appear in an IP packet on an interface that faces the public Internet.
I can’t find an official suggestions or “request for enhancements” webpage for sony’s ps3; I’m sure the developers are fed of of people asking for in game access to music or the web browser so it’s hidden away somewhere, but I think I have some genuine fresh ideas…. maybe?

It is very easy to build an RPM of Box Backup on Linux platforms. This should work on all Red Hat distributions (including Fedora), SuSE, and probably others too.
Given that you have the correct development packages installed simply execute this command (replacing the version number):
rpmbuild -ta boxbackup-0.00.tgz

Load balance anything with HAProxy
Recently I wanted to load balance a TCP service i.e. not http, in the past I’ve used ultramonkey but there doesn’t seem to be any maintained Redhat/Centos packages.
After some googling I found that haproxy can balance non-http services but examples of non-http configurations are few and far between, this blog post lead me to my solution, so after the jump I have a haproxy.cfg which will load balance smtp round-robin style across 4 servers, you also get a webstats interface listening on http://IP:8080/haproxy?stats (username = me, password = password).
By changing the port numbers from 25 (SMTP) you can effectively load balance any TCP app
