Create a REST API with PHP

Submitted by Webmaster on Wednesday February 25, 2009

One of the latest (sort of) crazes sweeping the net is APIs, more specifically those that leverage REST. It's really no surprise either, as consuming REST APIs is so incredibly easy in any language. It's also incredibly easy to create them as you essentially use nothing more than an HTTP spec that has existed for ages. One of the few things that I give Rails credit for is its well thought-out REST support, both for providing and consuming these APIs (as its been explained by all the Rails fanboys I work with).

Skype For Asterisk Update

Submitted by Webmaster on Tuesday February 24, 2009

Well, it has been nearly six months since the announcement of Skype For Asterisk at AstriCon, so it is high time for an update. So far we've been through several rounds of code with a very small pilot group. The results are encouraging - since that initial demo call on stage at AstriCon, we've logged tens of thousands of hours of Skype-To-Asterisk communication.

Fedora needs your help

Submitted by Webmaster on Tuesday February 24, 2009

As some of you know Fedora 11 will feature automatic font installation.

This is a genuinely new feature that does not try to ape what other operating systems do and play on Linux's traditional attention to localization and internationalization. It's a free/libre alternative to the DRM-ed distribution channels proprietary foundries are pushing right now.

KDE 4.2 on Gentoo

Submitted by Webmaster on Tuesday February 24, 2009

While my life workwise is all messed up(tm) some days ago I had the chance to update my laptop to KDE 4.2 and here is my initial thoughts.

The upgrade itself was a bit rough, so unmerged 4.1.x before emerging 4.2. Installation went without any major problems, once the blockers were solved. One thing I immediately noticed was that many of the small issues that plagued KDE 4.1.x was now gone. Indeed KDE 4.2 is almost ready for everyday use.
