After long and careful consideration, I decided to enable CloudFlare for my blog.
CloudFlare is a content delivery network which aims to enhance website security and performance. CloudFlare CDN offers protection againts many forms of malicious activity including: spammers, email harvesters, SQL Injection, XSS, denial-of-service attack and suspicious web requests. Therefore saving valueable bandwidth from the web hosting machine.
My Personal Experience with CloudFlare
After a while using CloudFlare, I’ve notice that:
My site uses less bandwidth
The php-fcgi uses less (valueable RAM)
Less comment spam received from blogs
Site loads faster, not prone to being bogged down during peak hour
Ubuntu Friendly is an initiative by Ubuntu community to ensure that desktops, laptops, netbooks are compatible with Ubuntu, hence “Ubuntu-friendly”. Ubuntu-Friendly depends on community participation to verify whether the hardware fully or partially supports Ubuntu, and rate its usability based on the core components tested.
When will it be available?
Ubuntu-Friendly will be available and integrated right into Ubuntu 11.10. Early adopters and testers can have access to it by Ubuntu 11.10 Oneric Beta 2 due to be released in mid-September.
The tool used for hardware testing is “Checkbox” which is accessible from the Live CD, under System Testing menu.
The Ubuntu Local Community (LoCo) Team Directory portal has added Ubuntu Loco news feed aggregator support. The aim of feed agregator is to make it easier for Loco to discuss and publicize their activities which may include:
Loco Events (which the team managed or joined)
Future project goals and achievements.
New LoCo team assets (such as websites, flyers, stickers).
Photos of team activities, events, and more.
Reporting experiences, ideas, and concerns about your team and the wider LoCo community.
The new blog is about my ramblings that are not (directly) related to geek stuffs and other topics that I find interesting. Hopefully it will be as entertaining for all of you to read as this blog….
