- Growing Pains (nginx)
- 28.11.2009
I finally made the decision to switch over to nginx from lighttpd. The decision came from the increased momentum of the nginx community and my innate desire to tinker with everything. I have also read from multiple sources that lighttpd has some sever memory leak issues, and that nginx is just generally more well-written. Needless to say - some bugs will probably crop up due to the switch. I've already nailed down a few, but I'm sure several remain.
Thus far, I've really enjoyed the logical syntax of nginx over lighttpd, and lack of lighttpd's server.network-backend ...

Ok, I get it. The site needs more color. I had a decent older design, but I decided it was time for some housekeeping during the server move. Thankfully, the guys at merge may have motivated me. I feel like I have dedicated enough time to learning the nuances of django, and now it's time to work on the fsckd UI a bit more.
Anyway, I spent some time in a photo shoot tonight trying to with merge's give a shirt contest, and thought I would share the results.- 3 comments

Most of the XHTML has been cleaned up, and I have begun tweaking the backend of the site. In other news, I spend ~6 hours soldering components that ended up not working. After chucking the borked PCBs, I purchased the same devices for around $1 a piece online. When at first you don't succeed, you can probably just buy it cheaper off the internet anyway. I suppose it was a good learning experience anyway.

Comments are now working (although still have much room for improvement). It will probably fail if you leave it blank and uses a nasty workaround for reCAPTCHA to correctly validate input. Next up: the entire site's CSS and cleaning up the XHTML/Python :)

- Server Move
- 15.3.2009
The server has just been moved to a more ideal OpenBSD solution. I've begun working on the site again, and just got basic functionality for the comments system working.
