a different kind of development with an attitude
Chris has an excellent post on configuration parameters for Apache and MySQL to help save memory. This was specifically used be another Slicehoster and it seemed to work wonders for me. MySQL memory usage is down 50%.
Only downside is you lose InnoDB usage. But what the hell.
Speaking of which, I think I should offload all my RSS feeds to feedburner. Another avenue to save bandwidth usage on my Slice.

I’ll never understand the mentality of Small Medium Enterprises in Singapore. The huge want not to incur any costs no matter how reasonable it seems and still want quality at the same time is beyond me.
All this going against the better advice of the developer who is more of the subject matter expert.

After the completion and upload of recent changes the client requested, I realised it might be a wiser choice to skip all the hassles of creating html pages from scratch and implement everything in a CMS.
Mind you, the site was small, 6 pages including the index and the newly requested “news section”. Still I thought it would be fun to see where this would get me and how long it would take.
Since I had experience with WordPress having hacked together a major site using it and converted a design to a WordPress template. I figured it shouldn’t be that difficult.
Updated: Main site has been moved to the WordPress version.
