MS-Phone... For testing needed

From: Mike Harrison 
------------------------------------------------------

The server side is written in PHP on Linux (On Topic!)

Anyone got a current generation Microsoft OS / Web Browser
phone I can borrow for 5 minutes to see what a web interface
looks like on it? I'll buy coffee, lunch, etc..

Option B: I can pick one up on eBay or elsewhere. I know..

Discussions that sometimes happen on obscure IRC channels...

From: Dan Lyke 
------------------------------------------------------
A "I have to convince my boss to write less code" thread on an IRC
channel has devolved into discussing how to tie php-mode.el activity
and "git commit" hooks to trigger playing sound files that'd agitate
said boss's dog...

Any Co-location providers in the area?

From: Lynn Dixon 
------------------------------------------------------
All,
It appears I may be looking for a new co-location provider.  I have been at
Smith and Hammaker in Knoxville for over 2 years now without any problems
and HAD been a happy customer.

Fast forward to today: I get an email from the new CIO telling me they
"Re-evaluated their pricing to best suit everyone needs" and then he
proceeded to tell me my co-location contract would be increasing from
$35/month to $410/month.

An increase of 12x without any notification or justification is just not
good business, and I am slightly pissed as you might imagine.

So, do any of you know of any good local co-location facilities in the area
that have decent pricing?  I really want to stay local, but I am willing to
co-locate far away to get good pricing.

I have had good experiences with these 2, and I may end up going with one
of these guys again:

and

Thanks!

specifically would like a PHP developer.

He didn't include any details, but I can put you in touch with the right

remote work opportunity

From: Nate Hill 
------------------------------------------------------
A friend in California asked if I knew anyone for this job.
Maybe someone on the list wants to apply.
http://califaproducts.blogspot.com/2013/03/are-you-techy-consultant-whos-into.html

Description:
The enkiLibrary is a shared open source eBook Network that allows
California libraries to own and store purchased and free digital content,
to share access to more content than any individual library can purchase on
its own, to add features and functionality lacking in current third-party
vendor models (e.g., renewing, suspending holds, donating, circulation data
transferred to ILS, etc.), and to share access to unique local digitized
content with other libraries within the Network. Califa and Contra Costa
County Library partnered to co-develop an open source eBook Network, shared
by, and accessible to multiple library systems in California. The platform
is based on the Douglas County (CO) Libraries model, which utilizes the
Adobe Content Server and the open source VuFindPlus, developed at Villanova
University. The Quipu Group, a software development company, is developing
the initial VuFindPlus interface.

Funding for this project is available through a Bay Area Library
Information Systems (BALIS) Innovation Grant, LSTA monies, and Califa. This
position will be part of the team making enkiLibrary happen through system
administration and support of the Adobe Content Server (ACS) and the
VuFindPlus open source software, including configuration, maintenance and
customization of these two servers.

Working Knowledge and Experience with:
Open source software for next generation library catalogs and discovery
tools.
Database administration (MySQL, Oracle, Solr)
User-facing web standards/platforms (HTML/XHTML, cross-browser CSS,
Javascript, jQuery/AJAX, PHP, mobile web)
Search platforms (Apache Solr)
Library software applications and protocols (NCIP, SIP, APIs, user
authentication, integrated library systems)
Web server software

another LAMP problem

From: Garrett Gaston 
------------------------------------------------------
Having overcome my last LAMP problem I've hit another problem almost immedi=
ately. My apache server seems to be working just fine as does php=2C I'm ab=
le to execute phpinfo() without a problem. I wrote a little php to query a =
few lines in a VERY simple MySQL database. When the page loads it's a blank=
 web page=2C no errors and no results. There are two entries in the table t=
hat I'M trying to query so I would expect to see two lines outputted as htm=
l. The code is below. Any ideas? Note that fname & lname are just variable =
I retrieved from an html form via $

Thirty years in programming, looking for something to do

From: Mike Robinson 
------------------------------------------------------
"Most" programming languages ... Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby, Java.  Usually =
the deal is that there's already some existing application out there, =
it's in serious trouble (perhaps abandoned in favor of greener climes), =
and the task is to drop in and do it, always landing "four paws down."  =
There's been some stranger stuff ... Prolog, R.  Never a shortage in =
this world of half-finished stuff that's been left high and dry.

Can programming-languages be a hobby?  I think so.  I'm always poking =
around sites learning about new ones.  I've even written a few.  It's =
really interesting to me, to see how programming languages work and to =
see them as a power-tool for a particular class of problem.  There's a =
really challenging Terracache in this area (I think it's still alive) =
which at its various puzzle stages included both a very large Sudoku =
puzzle and a logic-problem ("The man with the blue tie is not standing =
up") with twenty-odd stages.  GNU Prolog not only solved both problems =
but, geek that I am, showed that one of the clues in the logic problem =
was not required to solve the problem.

Hobby or not, everyone starting on a new project picks their favorite =
and everybody's got a different favorite.  So, when they waltz on to the =
next gig and you're the one following 'em, you dance with the one that =
brung ya.

LAMP problem

From: Garrett Gaston 
------------------------------------------------------
I'M trying to learn a little php but my learning as been halted by some str=
ange behavior when executing my html/php files. Within my html documents I =
am attaching them to php files via:=20



When the html file executes the form=2C the browser downloads the somefile.=
php file as if I were a picture or song I was downloading from a website ra=
ther than executing and displaying the php page in the browser. Executing p=
hpinfo() from the browser via 'localhost/phptest.php' is working just fine.=
 This problem is only occurring when a php script is called to be executed =
from an html file within the browser. Also note that I have tried this in t=
wo browsers with the same result.

I've removed php5 and apache2 and re-installed both of them and I'M still g=
etting the same result.

Here's the info from /var/log/apache2/error.log

[Thu Feb 28 12:45:35 2013] [notice] Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.3.10-1ubun=
tu3.5 with Suhosin-Patch configured -- resuming normal operations

Any ideas. I've hit a brick wall here and I can't continue my php book unti=
l I get this resolved.
