Things to do when in Rome
May 13th, 2013The naumachia (in Latin naumachia, from the Ancient Greek ναυμαχία/naumachķa, literally "naval combat") in the Ancient Roman world referred to both the staging of naval battles as mass entertainment and the basin (or more broadly, the complex) in which this took place....

Or what about diving horses?

Blog performance improvement
May 12th, 2013I started to get preeettyyy annoyed by the bad performance of my blog. Did some research and decided just give the two lines a try in the .htaccess file
Code:
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml | |
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE |
And, damn! It seems to work immediately and provide a major performance improvement. Why have I not done this before?
@Update:
Also added
Code:
<IfModule mod_expires.c> | |
ExpiresActive On | |
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 week" | |
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 month" | |
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month" | |
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month" | |
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 month" | |
| |
# Now we have Expires: headers, ETags are unecessary and only slow things down: | |
FileETag None | |
</IfModule> |
Just now I still have some performance issues, but I suspect that to be caused by the database server struggling, not the web server.
Spinning to Noah And The Whale
May 11th, 2013Yesterday, spinning to Noah And The Whale
While writing this I found a review of the album saying
. I gave it three out of ten for the first two songs and the last one. All the music inbetween is aimed at 12-15 year old girls. I thought I was listening to the best of Australian Idol. Songs have no depth and are aim at a quick buck!!
Utter crap and is the worst album of my collection. The only positive is that I also bought the new strokes album which is gold.
I do no think it was that bad, meaning, it was easy listening, but I must admit that I got a bit annoyed of the lyrics. And that does not happen often, me paying attention to the lyrics.
Spinning to Wannskrękk and Kung Fu Girls
May 10th, 2013Yesterday, spinning to two albums - first Wannskrękk and the album Riff (1980 - 1985). Good one, get better at the end as well, which is good when listening to it while spinning.
Then Kung Fu Girls and their album This is the Kung Fu Beat. Good one!
Windows - the SnippingTool
May 7th, 2013I was not aware of this tool, the SnippingTool. After spending years using MsPaint when taking screenshots, I have now turned advanced.
Spinning to Astroburger
May 7th, 2013Remove lines from file
May 4th, 2013While reviewing a SystemOut.log-file created by WebSphere I needed to remove all lines containing "SystemOut". Luckily I have installed Cygwin, so Perl to the rescue. Found this Q&A at StackOverflow.
Ended up with
perl -ni.bak -e 'print unless m!^.*SystemOut.*!' SystemOut.log
Original file > 80.000 lines, resultfile 195 lines...a bit easier to read...
