Spring 2008 - a UKUUG Conference Review
Thursday, April 3. 2008
I got back last night, after a somewhat hectic Flybe.com flight (long story).
I really enjoyed the conference, my first time speaking at one, bit nervous, but it can only get better

Monday, February 25. 2008
Dave Cross has published a Catalyst Book Review that was written by Jonathan Rockway and published by Packt Publishing.
I have not read it so I can't really comment.
Thanks,
Gavin.
...I knew that Catalyst was something that I should take the time to learn, but it always seemed like such a daunting task.
For that reason, I was really looking forward to reading this book. I'm the kind of person who learns best from reading a book and I hoped that with a few tube rides reading this book, coupled with a few practical sessions in front of the computer, I'd soon have Catalyst. I'm sorry to report that having read the book, Catalyst is almost as confusing to me now as it was before.
I don't think that much of the blame can be laid at the feet of the author. Jonathan Rockway is a member of the core Catalyst development team. I've read his blog and his contributions to various mailing lists. He obviously knows his stuff. I think he's been badly let down by his editors.
I have not read it so I can't really comment.
Thanks,
Gavin.
Amanda 2.6 Beta Released
Tuesday, January 22. 2008
The Amanda 2.6.0 beta release offers some excellent new features. Ones that appeal to Suretec are:
There of course many other excellent additions and fixes.
So, why is the Perl Interface so cool? Well, a while ago we asked about using the Perl interface for use with an LDAP[?] Configuration Backend, but at that time Amanda wasn't ready.
The Perl interface is a great addition and easy to understand why it was needed.
We'll keep you updated on how the betas progress and when we start hacking up an LDAP interface
Binaries and source can be downloaded from Zmanda.
- A Perl Interface
- Encryption methods (various techniques have been available previously) - Simple and GPG

Tuesday, January 22. 2008
We have had some interesting discussions about offering a locally hosted version of a Catalyst Web Application called Flexi Time Manager.
The question was also raised on the Catalyst Mailinglist, with no replies...so we raised it on the PerlMonks forums at Offering a locally hosted solution?
A very interesting response about doing an appliance:

Friday, December 7. 2007
Just a quick note to say that the Catalyst Advent Calendar is doing very well. Now at 7 entries
Being:
I've really enjoyed them all so far and they are all well written and excellent quality. But the ExtJS, REST and Open Flash Chart I liked best.
Being:
- Getting started with ExtJS screen library
- Get more REST - Using YUI and JavaScript for REST
- Application Design Techniques
- Catalyst + Open Flash Chart: Fancy graphs with minimal fuss
- Adding Authentication to your Catalyst App
- Inline Authentication Without Redirection
- Rapid CRUD with Catalyst
I've really enjoyed them all so far and they are all well written and excellent quality. But the ExtJS, REST and Open Flash Chart I liked best.

Saturday, December 1. 2007
It is true that Poorly written LDAP[?] code can really affect your Portal, Suretec have seen it a few times:
A programmer who hadn't had much exposure to LDAP decided it best to do a base level search, for example, usingldapsearch:
he retrieved *everything*, then did all the searching/filtering etc. locally in the client! What's the point of a Directory Server!?!
Our partners Symas have also talked about similar encounters, mainly with Sendmail.
It all comes down to the level of LDAP understanding a programmer has.
Or could it actually be the Directory Server implementation, namely Oracle Internet Directory (OID)?
I know OpenLDAP wouldn't slow an app down like this, because it's very fast..very very fast

Wednesday, October 31. 2007
Flexi Time Manager is a web application that provides a cost effective and self-contained administration system for recording and calculating flexitime. Designed to help small and medium sized businesses introduce or extend flexible working for staff, the system can be accessed at a mere 54 pence per employee per week (£30 per employee, per year) and does not require specialist software or hardware, just an internet connection.

Article Ideas
Tuesday, October 16. 2007
I'm thinking of getting more articles out there. Either on the Suretec site, or a community site like Symas did with their OpenLDAP article.
