فى الاول و كنت انا بعدين كانوا هم

The server was really screaming yesterday. I was trying to understand why.
I thought it was the aggregator module. I did some profiling for the aggregator SQL queries and while I'm at it, I did the same for some other modules and here we go: Here, here, here and here.
I'll be applying them too to the drupal sites I'm hosting whether they like it or not!

So, I'm still a hardcore GNU/Linux administrator after all ?!

Apache "The webserver" is down. Looks like the master process gets killed by the kernel. That's weird.

Now what's interesting is the dmesg output:

I've got my Drupal CVS account. I'll give the article module some love.
And My first commit!

lighttpd was doing fine but sometimes it doesn't start after the logrotation, I'm lazy to write a script to fix this plus, I miss the apache mod_security to filter out some SPAM comments. I'm using an old package from backports.org, Maybe it was fixed in a later package but it's not there for debian yet.

I'm not sure how he's bypassing the captcha module and I don't have time now to dig. I disabled the captcha and I'll have to approve the comments manully as I used to.

Well, I ported the patch to drupal CVS HEAD which 4.7 ATM per moshe's request. Looks like I did hit another thing. Might be my stupidity, Might be something wrong. We'll see!

PS. Patch is also in my CVS ;-)

Well, I backported the captcha API patch for the current 4.6 version of the drupal captcha module.

Let me state it, I hate captchas, So when I enable a captcha module be sure that I'll do it right!

You'll be asked to do a simple mathematical calculation and fill in the result not to read an ambiguous image.

Obsolete. Read this
Yet another patch. Now you don't have to retype all the fields anymore, Just check the "Remember me" button.

The patch is here

Probably you can notice that ;-)

I still have to do a few things with javascript, Maybe I won't.

I guess I like the new colors, Someone deserves a big thank you for the basic logo especially when you know that she did the drawing on my iPAQ using the stylus. The rest was created using The GIMP and emacs. Emacs, The past, Present and future.
