Well, after multiple requests, I've finally ported PageCache to Mambo! It's designed to work with 4.6.2, and is available for download now in the download section! I've tested it on a clean install of Mambo, and it works great! As far as other extensions, it should work, but I need you (the community) to help me test it! Please place all support requests in the forums, and be sure to say that you are using the Mambo version of Page Cache! Thanks! |

One common issue with a dedicated server (or a Virtual Private Server for that matter), is that it can be quite difficult to track down the cause of a high server load. Most people just write it off as inevitable, but something should be done about it. If you have a busy site, you'll want to tweak your server to handle high loads as best as possible. But how can you find out what is causing the high load? It's simple (kind of)... These steps are for a *nix based server (Linux, Unix, FreeBSD (I think)). |

While Joomla is one of the most flexible and robust Content Management Systems available, it can suffer in the performance area. There are some common things that can be done to help speed your site up. While the best performance can be seen on a full dedicated server running Lighttpd (It's MUCH faster than Apache) and a local MySQL database, acceptable performance levels can be achieved with almost any hosting package. For some administrators, upgrading to a dedicated server might not be practical (it's not cheap, but it can be, see my article on high performance on a budget). |

OpenMoko has just announced the Phase 1 release of their new open source phone. Not only does the new phone have a giant touch screen display similar to the Iphone, but it runs a full fledged Linux kernel. Oh, and at only $300 (for this developers release), it looks to be even cheaper than the Apple alternative. What makes this phone so unique is that it's the first phone ever released to be 100% open source. Not only have they released their source code though, they have also designed the phone from the ground up to be flexible and open. Show me one other manufacturer who not only allows you to open the case of the phone, but ENCOURAGES it (here's a quote from their site):
Others try their best to lock us out of the devices we buy; but, Neo’s are built for you to open. You can take the casing apart and get at the PCB. Opt for the Neo Advanced kit and we’ll give you a special screwdriver, (the Neo cracker), and plastic guitar pick to make opening this device even easier. Go ahead, open your Neo. Make our day. |

While cruising SlashDot today, I came across a disturbing article entitled "AMD posts blatantly deceptive benchmarks on Barcelona". The first time I started to read it, I was honestly upset. I have been an AMD fan for a long time, and it honestly saddened me to see a good company like this sink to that level. The more I read, the more disturbed I became. I finished the article wondering if I really should wait for the Barcelona to build my next computer (I've been planning on a dual-quad core rig for the past few months), or if it's not really worth it. But then I realized something...
