    Coding contest: Community driven ping/traceroute project

    Please forgive me if I misunderstood - is this a contest or a community project? I don't see how a single person can rightly be identified for the prize if it's a community effort. Beyond that, there's a whole lot of stipulations at a very technical level there; it sounds like contract work in...

    Coding contest: Community driven ping/traceroute project

    This actually sounds like a fun project to take on... are we just tossing around ideas now? Do we have any established dates for certain milestones to be hit? Is there a list of criteria that will be judged and/or minimally required feature set? I think the end of June to at least have entries...

    Lowendguide.com updates

    This is going to sound really harsh, I realize after going back and reading it. I'm sorry - I just deal with this stuff 12+ hours a day, every day (Web Developer w/ a side-passion for Design, UX and DevOps). Don't get me wrong, I love it - I've somehow convinced a company that they should pay me...

    Easily integratable blog system

    Does the client know HTML reasonably well and not afraid of the command line? I'm a huge fan of the static site generators that have become increasingly popular the last few years (Jekyll, Kirby, Phrozn - there are a lot). If you'd rather keep it all web-based, with an easy to use backend, very...

    AT&T Uverse Filtering Outbound to my VPS?

    Thanks @mikho, I'm fairly certain that is the problem since I can connect to any number of other servers that are similarly configured.

    Customer Support Response Time

    Yeah, I think this is more in-line with what I was referring to; especially given the "work from home" status most enjoy.

    Customer Support Response Time

      Yes along with a guaranteed 30 minute support ticket response time; ultimately I know this is marketing BS and wouldn't cause a fuss over the delay. US-based, as am I, but that is actually interesting, I'm going to have to Google what the holiday is. Here it's Memorial Day but honestly I...

    Customer Support Response Time

    I've been having a bit of an issue with one of my VPS accounts lately, as detailed here. As a result of that thread, but deserving of its own topic I believe, what are your opinions in terms of Customer Support Response time? If you look back over the times in which you have had to contact...

    Setting up development environment for PHP+MySQL using VirtualBox

    Download VirtualBox and install it. Download Vagrant and install it. Choose a box and cache it locally, for example Ubuntu 13.04:vagrant box add lucid64 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box In cmd, Powershell or Cygwin - find a place to work:cd ~/Projects/myspace-killer Build a VM: vagrant...

    PHP framework for development

    Laravel 4 is the future of PHP, no question about it. FuelPHP was fun for a bit, mainly because it was just a group of friends bored of the CodeIgniter monotony and goofing off. CodeIgniter... 5-6 years of memories there that, without sounding too mushy, really laid the foundation of where I am...

    Free Self-hosted Project Management Software?

    Do you currently have a particular style/system you use? I can offer better suggestions with that in mind. I'm also assuming a Software Development shop, for the ignorant reason of "because that's what I do" - so that would absolutely help out. Lead Engineer for a Gov Contractor here, roughly a...

    AT&T Uverse Filtering Outbound to my VPS?

    Sometime Friday evening / Saturday morning I completely lost the ability to connect to one of my servers from within my network; thankfully, I've yet to ramp up beyond a development and testing phase so the only customer affected was myself (I'm a glass half-full kind of guy). The facts: All...

    vpsBoard contest (1/3) Win a free CatalystHost VPS for a year!

    Another heads-up, although not a serious problem: when I registered I chose the Twitter option which then follows on to asking for display name, email address and email address confirmation. I don't recall seeing a field requesting referrer (although I'm sure it's available in my profile...
