annathepiperLesson I learned from yesterday: when it's pouring down rain during the evening commute, downtown Seattle gets wacky crazy. As I walked to the bus stop between 6th and 7th on Pike, I kept hearing car after car honking horns and saw car after car running red lights and charging around corners before pedestrians could cross. It made me very glad I didn't actually have to drive in the downpour. And it was a downpour, much heavier than is normal even for this time of year around here.
Last night I mostly spent helping![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
solarbird out with trying to get lodestone back online. Dara did most of the actual work, but I worked on getting Apache up and running. This time we're trying out Apache 2.0, in the hopes that it'll be more robust than the 1.3 version we were running before. We actually wanted 2.2, but there's not a Debian package available for it yet, and likely won't be until after the new year. Big thanks go out to fenton, who provided both Dara and me helpful clues for what to do about getting things running again.
The next question is going to be what to do with PHP--whether I should bother to set up both 4 and 5, or just worry about 5. From what reading I've done on PHP.net so far, it looks like most of the PHP code we've got running on our site should run fine with PHP 5.
Anybody got an opinion on PHP 4 vs. PHP 5 and whether it's worth it to me to run both? Also, anybody have any advice on how to review our PHP code to make sure it's not doing anything stupid in terms of security? Any and all tips are welcome.
Tonight and tomorrow I plan to get PHP online as well as mySQL, so as to get my web pages as well asspazzkat's working again. It'll be a very quiet weekend, since as per usual Paul is in Virginia visiting his family, so Christmas at the Murkworks will be delayed until his return. But mamishka will be joining Dara and me on Sunday and we'll go see King Kong again. Woot!
Rumor has it I'll be able to go home early today, too. Plus the team went out to lunch, so it's been a pretty easy day all around. Which is good, considering I get to go home and bang on the web server.
Thursday miles: 3.45
Friday morning and midday miles: 2.5
Miles out of Hobbiton: 563.15
Miles out of Rivendell: 105.15
Miles to Lothlórien: 358.85
