Great news, guys! Apache 2.2 is in unstable now. I was very discouraged when tried to do apt-get install apache2-utils and it proposed me to remove apache2 and install it again :-) I decided to install new version to test rails with Apache 2.2, mod_proxy_balancing and mongrel. In this post I’ve described my adventures (or misfortunes?)

Yesterday in mailing list of russian RoR group we have discussed following problem. MySQL database has unique index and model has validates_uniqueness_of constraint. Do we need to handle MySQL server exceptions or RoR’s validation will be enough?

In my current project I need to encode media files from any format to several predefined. Furthermore I need to track progress and show it for the customer. I don’t want to describe wich media formats I need and what troubles with converting (maybe it will be my future posts, if anybody interested), instead I will describe common idea how to implement encoder scripts and how to track progress.

I haven’t updated my resume several months and now I found some time to do it at last. I’m employed by “Lana Pro” over 9 months, great company with friendly team and interesting project. I’ve passed several additional Brainbench certifications, read a couple of very interesting books and explored some new technologies. About this I’ll talk below.

Today I found wonderful page where you can dispatch commands to programmer. You can enter command, for example dance, sleep, and he will execute them. Page was developed using ASP.NET technology and Visual Studio Express.
Our Subservient Programmer was created using Visual Studio Express — C#, Visual Basic and Visual Web Developer flavors. When the application is idling, you can see the programmer working at his computer. After entering a command phrase, such as “test”, the programmer will be shown doing your bidding. Once the programmer has completed the task, he will resume working at the computer as he was before and allow you to enter another command.
