ASF -= 1

Posted by Ian Holsman Thu, 19 Oct 2006 11:15:00 GMT

well.. it’s time for me and the ASF to part ways.

It wasn’t any one thing, but a combination.

What’s going on in my life at the moment? I am:

- Starting a new job

- Overloading on my part time MBA, which hopefully I’ll finish next August

- Got 3 children who hardly see me

- Spending time on my startup, which is still going strong, and getting some notice

and I’ve also decided that I need to devote 1 hour/day to getting fit.

add the fact that it is also summertime over here, so I should try and get a tan instead of the geeky white pallor I have.

I’ll probably stay on a tiny bit more until the UIMA project gets a foothold in the incubator, or until one of the other mentors takes over for me.

SCGI works well

Posted by Ian Holsman Mon, 26 Sep 2005 00:19:00 GMT

This page was served using SCGI Rails. and it seems to work OK for the general case.

but the apache module doesn’t seem to play nicely with mod_rewrite..hopefully I can do something about that.

Update: I still can’t get it working properly ;( so I rolled it out to my ‘test’ host and put the reverse proxy back in. What I am trying to do is only get SCGI to serve requests where the file doesn’t exist on the local docroot… Mod_rewrite is the most humbling thing I have seen for a long time ;(
