Configuring LogWatch (Linux)

January 11th, 2006

Logwatch is a great little proggie. I liked it very much when it used to work, it used to send me alerts about suspicious activity, and even one time saved my ass when some lowlife tried hacking through SSH. (Until I make some time figuring out what da hell is iptables) Anyways. It stopped running two weeks ago. Wanted to see what’s wrong, and here is how I got to the configuration file:

The Data Access Object Pattern

January 11th, 2006

PHP database abstraction? I use ADOdb. Is it enough? NO.

Why?

When dealing with web applications, it’s important to separate your application logic and underlying database. It simpler terms, mixing your input, output, and logic, all together, creates a mess to maintain and extend. There are excellent thoeries about separating your design, logic, and data, and here is one EXCELLENT article about “The Way of The DAO“.

Super Light-Weight Javascript Effects Library

January 7th, 2006

Excellent FREE javascript library that will give you the ability to fade & resize HTML object elements with an ease of writing a single javascript command. Supports all modern browsers of today, not sure about IE5/Mac support, but 95% of us don’t really care, Microsoft has ceased support in 2005, and it was declared a “Bug ridden crash prone piece of junk” by many.
