ruby on rails

I was updating a server today and had to install mongrel for someone. I have to admit it’s much faster than the FCGI extension we were using before.

imdb and perl update

So i’m finally done with exams and now i get to write about this update. I got an email a couple weeks ago from Michele about an update to my imdb perl script. He added an “also known as” functionality to it. Here’s his take on it:

[...]we have the really bad habit to translate movies
and titles. For example, “the godfather”, is translated in “il
padrino”. This is fairly common in Europe.

Here’s a screenshot of the new output,

And a link to the updated perl script. Thanks alot Michele! I’ll post more later if he, or myself, update the script.

Backup Script

Here’s a backup program i wrote for the clemsonlinux server. It uses the dump command to backup a directory in daily and monthly intervals. I’ll modify it more later
