OSCON 2008: Slides

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 23:38 UTC

Here are my slides for the memcached presentation I gave at OSCON this year. I experimented with a new slide template, which turned out for the worst, since the contrast of the type on the screen was very poor, making it difficult for attendees to read. I apologize for this. In addition, I was completely [...]

OSCON 2008: Day One

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 23:50 UTC

I find myself once again in Portland, OR at the O’Reilly Open Source Convention. This year, I’m giving a talk on memcached. The talk is on the PHP track, but the concepts can apply in any of the other languages represented at OSCON, so if you’re interested in memcached and how to use it, stop [...]

HTTP Status: Redirection

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 22:58 UTC

I’ve been rather uninspired and, therefore, uninterested in blogging lately, which is why I’ve neglected to continue my series on HTTP status codes. However, while trying to figure out a quick and easy way to delete tons of received direct messages from my Twitter account, I stumbled across one of my HTTP pet peeves coupled [...]

php|tek 2008 Wrap Up

Sat, 24 May 2008 2:08 UTC

So, my first conference of this year’s conference “season” has come to a close, and as a wrap-up post for the conference, I’d like to do something a bit different. I’m not going to discuss the sessions I attended or talk about the keynotes. Instead, I’d like to approach this post from the community aspect.

As [...]

HTTP Status: 204 No Content and 205 Reset Content

Wed, 7 May 2008 2:08 UTC

The 200 range of HTTP status codes represents successful requests. I’ve already covered 201 Created and 202 Accepted and 206 Partial Content. Today, I’ll wrap up my discussion of the 200 range by talking about 204 No Content and 205 Reset Content. The 200 OK response is probably the status with which most are familiar, [...]

HTTP Status: 206 Partial Content and Range Requests

Mon, 5 May 2008 2:17 UTC

Akki commented on my 100 Continue post, asking:

I was wondering if there was a response status to allow a large file to be “served” in parts and in just one response?

While I’ve never done this myself, I did some research to see how it might be done, and I’ve come up with a solution that [...]

Umbrello UML Modeler

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 17:56 UTC

Special thanks to all the twitterites who recommended UML modeling tools. Umbrello UML Modeler appears to be the one I was looking for. Here are a couple of quick notes about what I had to do to get it running on my Mac, mainly for my own future reference, but I hope these also help [...]

HTTP Status: 201 Created vs. 202 Accepted

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 18:48 UTC

Continuing my series on HTTP status codes, I’d like to talk today about the use of the 201 Created and 202 Accepted codes.

I should make a point of clarification first, though. When I’m discussing the use of status codes, I have in mind Web services applications with perhaps rich clients that interface with [...]
