Ricardo Galli, de software libre » WP-Cache 2.0. WP-Cache is an extremely efficient WordPress page caching system to make your site much faster and responsive. It works by caching Worpress pages and storing them in a static file for serving future requests directly from the file rather than loading and compiling the whole PHP code and then building the page from the database. WP-Cache allows to serve hundred of times more pages per second, and to reduce the response time from several tenths of seconds to less than a millisecond.

WP-Cache started from the “Staticize Reloaded” by matt and billzeller. Most of their recommendations also apply to WP-Cache. Current version, WP-Cache2, is a huge improvement over previous versions of WP-Cache. A note about compression Due to several glitches created by enabling compression ( inside PHP via ob_start() ) this WordPress feature is not supported by WP_Cache. Zlib.output_compression = On It works perfectly with WP-Cache. Introduction WP-Cache is composed of two parts: Two-phases Wordpress hooks.

Last week I had the distinct honor of listening to Harvard Business School's Andrew McAfee speak on Enterprise 2.0 at The New New Internet in Northern Virginia. I've written several times here about McAfee's thoughts and work about the use of freeform, emergent, social software to enable ad hoc collaboration.

McAfee's work essentially applies and combines many of the key Web 2.0 concepts of social software, user generated content, and discoverability via search to the workplace. And given the efficacy of these things out on the Web, a number of companies have begun to seriously consider his ideas. Some of them have even begun building products labelled as "Enterprise 2.0" solutions and we may be witnessing this as part of a larger trend of moving the consumer world of Web 2.0 into the enterprise. We'll hopefully do a tour of some of these Enterprise 2.0 products in upcoming posts. What we need are examples of high-value emergence use of social software.

It’s been a while. OK, that’s a whopper of an understatement. There’s the usual suspects that play a part: little stuff being posted on Twitter and other interests like brewing, Irish song and mandolin, etc. One could even just wave a hand and chalk it up to “being busy”. But, “being busy” has really had a very specific meaning for me for the last 18 months or so. Since about 2007, I’ve been working with/subcontracting for the guys at JDB Associates, in particular, Dave (the “D”) for nearly all of my projects.

Those commonalities combined with several long-lasting frustrations we shared. This means that you actually get punished for getting better or more efficient at what you do. I won’t pretend that 10x ratios are always there, but I do know that the longer I do this, the better I get at it and that little bit of reality isn’t encouraging if you’re getting paid hourly. Second, we both lamented the fact that, for many of these common problems, we were basically re-inventing the wheel. JohnTP&8217;s Home. Today @ PC World - AMD Demos 4x4 Platform. Posted by Anush Yegyazarian | Tuesday, July 25, 2006 7:50 PM PT Intel is set to launch its chart-topping Core 2 Duo chips later this week, but AMD seems determined to try to steal the spotlight. Monday it dramatically slashed prices on its processors to better compete with Intel's new chips, and announced it was buying ATI .

Today it held a demo of its 4x4 platform for PC enthusiasts, which is meant to deliver performance that will rival and perhaps surpass that of the Core 2 Duos. The demo was eye catching. The 4x4 system, equipped with two dual-core Athlon 64 FX chips, clearly outpaced an identically configured PC with one dual-core chip on every test they showed, from multitasking scenarios with a game and other apps running in the background, to media file transcoding. Of course, the real performance test will be against Core 2 Extreme machines or systems with Intel's upcoming Kentsfield quad-core processor (originally due out next year, the chips may now debut by year's end). Wi-Fi Networking News Archive. October 22, 2010 WiMax and LTE Not Technically 4G by ITU Standards By Glenn Fleishman The ITU sets the minimum for 4G designation: The International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) has reaffirmed previous less settled criteria for what's a fourth-generation (4G) network.

Current WiMax and LTE is nowhere near the cutoff point of 100 Mbps downstream for mobile and 1 Gbps downstream for fixed. This isn't new, although this particular decision is new. I've been wondering by what logic Clearwire, AT&T, and Verizon were labeling current WiMax and first-generation LTE deployments as 4G, when they're incremental, welcome improvements over 3G. The ITU-R doesn't do enforcement, and 4G isn't a trademark. My question for 4G deployment, of course, is that with it on track for 2014–2015 rollout, how realistic is it to come up with the channel widths necessary?

People in general will agree that happiness is a (if not the) goal in their lives.

However it is ironical that in spite of aspiring for happiness, they still wouldn’t be honest with themselves to pursue that goal single-mindedly. Why honesty and authenticity is important in life? Well, that’s a different post altogether, but briefly speaking, in the face of our inherently meaningless lives, why will anyone prefer a dishonest life over an honest one is beyond me. An example of such dishonesty is the utter ignorance of what freedom is and why happiness cannot be ensured without freedom. What really is freedom anyway? No one but you has any right on your life. What limits freedom? Inherently, everyone is free. Moral commitments about the future. This means that one should be careful about the future. Government, state and the law.

The Existential Terror of San Francisco. After I sold my company I decided to visit New York City one time before I moved out to San Francisco. The trip was a lot of fun, but at one point I found myself completely out of cash, my ATM/debit card snapped in half, my credit card deactivated for suspected fraud, and my phone out of batteries. Then I got off at the wrong subway stop and found myself deep in the wrong part of Harlem. As scary as that was, it wasn’t anywhere near as frightening as the existential terror I feel every day walking the streets of San Francisco. When I walked through the streets of Manhattan, I saw residents going for a stroll or walking their dog or playing with their kids and I thought “Ah, I could live here”.

But even while I’m living in San Francisco I still can’t quite believe it can be done. I saw a mother out walking with her daughter and thought “What are you doing?! The whole city feels like some sort of movie set; oversized and fake. Of course, San Francisco isn’t all pain. Can I get a what what! Geeking with Greg. Caterina.net. Yumio.net. (Paul Graham)
