New Toys
Recently, I have finally found some time to play around with some new geeky toys. Specifically, I brought SQLite up at work, which brought me to playing with it at home, which lead into finally starting to futz around with a Ruby on Rails application to see how it works. I have to say, I am more astonished with each day that I work with Rails. I'm always stumbling across something new each time I sit down and play with it some more.
Rails then lead me into an interesting new web server: lighttpd. I am so impressed with that, that I am planning on trying to migrate off Apache entirely and onto lighttpd instead (a problem with the most recent Apache, or at least the Debian apache2-mpm-prefork package, contributed to that as well somewhat). The only problem that I have with lighttpd currently is that it lacks something like mod-security, so I am writing my own plugin for lighttpd. It is currently working (just barely), and when I finally get more completely implemented (at the moment, it is only a blacklist for POST data), tested thorougly, and cleaned up, I will go ahead and release it to the public.
