I wasn’t able to sleep, so I wrote this Perl script to backup a directory and mail yourself a copy. Change the variables in CAPS to suit your needs. It’s best to run this script as a cronjob.

Penguin Meets A Huge Leech, originally uploaded by zeroion.
Perhaps the penguin represents Linux and the leech represents Microsoft, who has been “leeching” ideas from Apple and Linux. Unfortunately I didn’t have any apples in my [...]
I’ve just finished some intensive tweaking of the Cold Ray Hosting servers. I was able to reduce the memory used by Apache, our web daemon, and MySQL, our database daemon. By reducing the memory used by each daemon, I was able to release memory to other active processes.

Hint: you might need to disable robots.txt parsing and [...]

I think taking down servers for maintenance is a great idea, and that more [...]
