When you work with a group of people on the same projects, the larger the group gets, the more difficult the task of keeping everybody informed. So why not do this automatically? Send an e-mail upon an SVN commit. Here’s how I do it.

Sending mail from PHP with Mountain Lion
Mountain Lion killed – or rather: disabled – sendmail by default. Big deal? well, if you need to send mail from PHP in your local development environment, you’ll need to perform these few steps to get it working again.
Apple Fusion Drive – What is it and what the *#%@ do we do with it? [CONFIRMED]
[Update november 27th; DiY FusionDrive confirmed!, see last page]
[Update november 9th; Do-it-yourself FusionDrive available!, see last page]
Hi all.
For a change, a regular blog post, not a how-to or a script to share, just some info on a “new” technology “invented” by Apple; Fusion Drive.
First of all; what is it?
Well, that’s a difficult question, since only Apple really knows and there probably isn’t a Mac outside of Apple HQ that runs on it. But based on the information presented by Apple and discussed by many techfora, like arstechnica and ubergizmo, already discussed Fusion Drive in depth and here’s the scuttlebutt;
1. Apple Fusion Drive combines a regular HDD with a fast SSD so files accessed often are available at high speeds, others are on the large capacity storage. All seamless and even so that certain files of one project can be on the SSD (the files you use) and others on the HDD (the documentation). It’s file-based (actually block-based), it’s seamless, it’s automatic. It fits the Apple philosophy perfectly; it’s dead-easy to use.

Development WebServer on OSX Lion – HomeBrew/MariaDB/PECL

MemCache – In-memory-caching in PHP
When building API-like applications in PHP, one issue will always remain; a high load will eventually slow down everything. To prevent over-loading, anyone will come to the conclusion a cache is needed. The most access calls should be served without recalculating anything to free up CPU-time.
Caching can be done on Disk, in a database (indirectly also Disk-caching), or directly in memory.
To setup MemCache and use this memory-caching-system, read on :)
