Posted by cafuego on Monday 12 January 2009.I seem to have missed the activation of planet linux.conf.au on account of not paying attention.
Well, it exists, so here goes a properly tagged blog. Oh, flying to Hobart this saturday - whee!

ongoings
Posted by cafuego on Monday 12 January 2009.I added the memcache module to my Drupal this morning.
Mine is a stand-alone install, so I can test it without affecting all the other ones, that run via a shared codebase.
It requires an updated PECL extension (the default one in Hardy is too old and doesn't support multiple memcache servers) and some code patching as well. The latest version listed in the patches/ subdir is Drupal 5.8, but it runs fine on 5.14. Sofar anyway. If you can't read this, it's possibly broken ;-)
xmas surprise
Posted by cafuego on Thursday 25 December 2008.
I
got a bit of a surprise last night.
It was decided some time ago that we wouldn't do presents, but instead all put a set amount of money into a piggy bank, to spend on a suckling pig banquet early next year.
However, just as we were about to go, I was herded into a room with a huge box, which turned out to contain a 650mm f/5 newtonian "zoom lens" on an equatorial mount, for use with the digital camera :-)
Woot!
