Database Backed Web Applications Advice

Posted on July 2, 2012 by Percy Kwong

Here’s the scenario.  You’ve got a dedicated server running windows in a server farm (generic dedicated server provider).  You have mysql + asp or php app running all on the same server.  Raid 1 mirroring and 2 GB of ram. You have to have windows, because your application supports it.  Sound Familiar?  It’s a problem…

Posted on June 27, 2012 by Percy Kwong

The Virtual Webtop – A different type of experience

Posted on June 26, 2012 by Percy Kwong

The Term Webtop has been a long time, but has been a fledgeling technology that has failed to take off.  The reality is the technology wasn’t ready.  In my honest opinion, the original creators had the right idea, but they got the whole concept wrong.

The Perfect Home Office.

Posted on June 19, 2012 by Percy Kwong

I’ve struggled with that question in the past. I can say truthfully that having both was a royal pain in the butt.   Keeping data synced wasn’t fun, nor was the electricity bill.  Me being me always had the solution so it was never a big deal to just vpn into my home network to get…

I guess this is a call out for help

Posted on June 17, 2012 by Percy Kwong

I’m at the point where I can’t support this blog due to the traffic I’m getting.  I really need some donations or something.  I’m pushing about 5 GB of data a day and due to my divorce, I can’t afford to support this continually. I’m not asking for donations, although, they would help, but I…

I feel the need to get this out as soon as possible.  If you’re running wordpress 3.3.2 I would highly suggest NOT upgrading to 3.4 yet. I did a test install of 3.4 last night and while it seemed to work, the biggest problem was it didn’t allow tagging of posts.  THIS IS A BIG…
