PHP 7 so much faster than PHP 5
Earlier this year, I decided to make the leap to PHP 7 prior to it officially becoming a part of my servers distribution (I run Ubuntu). It has probably been the easiest and best change I have made to my personal server stack in a number of years. Granted, it wasn't...
Goodbye 2014, 2015 is upon us.
For me, 2014 was a year of struggle. Personally, emotionally and financially it started out with high hopes, as every year does, but 2014 ended sort-of, kind-of low for me. But that low is temporary. Due to a number of reasons, things went south early in the year,...
Linode Improves… Again!
I know I talk about Linode a lot on my site here, but they are my faithful VPS hosting provider, so I want to support them as much as possible. Recently, Linode made the jump to SSD drives for VPS and at the same time, doubled the RAM for them. SSD drives are not new...
The new Apple iPhone 5S
I finally upgraded my iPhone from the 4S to the 5S. Overall it looks like the 5, but the new features are pretty cool and from hearing about bad battery life from my friends on the 5, it most likely has been increased as well. It is definitely better than my 4S’...

Goodbye 2012. Helloooo 2013, you look good!
This will be my first (and last) post of 2012. It has been a busy year, so I've neglected posting. 2012 was a good and bad year for me. These are both personal and business. The good. I have been kept busy with various ventures and expect some of them come to fruition...

Creating harmony between your career and family life can sometimes be a bit difficult, especially for those of us who are freelancers, in management and/or have a full-time job as well as side-work that can consume your family time. I'm no expert on the topic, but...
Steve Jobs is Dead (1955-2011)
Steve Jobs died on Wednesday October 5th, 2011. It is a sad day. His death is no more "significant" than anyone else's, but the world has truly lost an icon... Someone who has probably changed the world of computing more than anyone else in recent history.I don't...
Why I like Linode (after using others)
When I started hosting websites for clients, I hosted them in-house, literally, in my house. This was nice because I had direct control over the servers and could quickly fix them or migrate data if there were hardware failures. But obviously, it does not scale very...
What I think Apple Should Do…
Dear Steve Jobs, I feel that with the "death" of the XServe Server and the uncertain future of Mac OS X Server OS, Apple should delve into offering hosted services to pull in entities who are now scattered among numerous other services such as Google Apps for Domains,...
