Don’t you hate that… When it’s 2:00am… and you really should be in bed… But your mind has hold of a problem, and wont let it go. I have a project where it would be really handy for a process to be able to lock (arbitrary string identifier) and for another process to be able [...]
Recently I was troubleshooting some inefficiencies with the jobs systems locking and fetching queries at work. Like a good little boy I, originally, came up with one index which satisfied all the queries that I needed to run against this particular critical table. (`completed`,`heartbeat`,`priority`,`datacenter`,`worker`) — datetime,datetime,tinyint,varchar(16),varchar(255) the query looked like this: SELECT `id`,GET_LOCK(CONCAT(‘foo_’,`id`),0) as mylock [...]
Lets say you have the CouchDB classes (located here) all compiled together and included into your test.php script. Lets also say that you have created a database with the built-in web ui called “testing”. Finally let us say that your test.php has the following code in it, which would add a record to the db [...]

(covering a requested image already stored on S3, not the upload -> s3 process) A request comes into pound for a file. Pound hashes the hostname (via a custom patch which we have not, but may, [...]
this is amazing: http://jan.kneschke.de/2007/10/7/wormhole-index-reads and I cant wait to try it somewhere!
Most times when people write command line scripts they just let the output flow down the screen as a status indicator, or just figure “it’s done when it’s done” But sometimes it would be nice to have a simple clean status indicator, allowing you to monitor progress and gauge time-to-completion. This is actually very easy [...]
I know a group of guys looking to do some cool stuff who could use a few good contractors. Drop me an e-mail with maybe a sample or something cool you did in php and I’ll pass it on. apokalyptik apokalyptik com — Subject: “PHP Consulting” (I’ll likely completely overlook your mail if you use [...]
