Small explanation of Mod_Rewrite the URL Rewriting Engine

Mod_Rewrite is an Apache Module and is something that is very mysterious to some people and I can see why. Due to the fact that is uses what are called Regular Expressions (RegEx's) it can seem pretty daunting when you first look at something like this:

Well apart from two specific tasks I need to perform I am now no longer using Windows at home at all. I've always run a dual system with Linux but recently I made the choice to fully switch to Linux and pretty much stop using Windows at all. I still need one Win box to run my Broad-Band which is ironic because that's the exact point on my home network that I want to GET RID OF WINDOWS because it's the point of entry to the network from the Web. Of course I'm not so stupid to use XP on that box so I'm not that worried. I've always done all my web dev on my Linux box using a Linux, Apache, Mysql & PHP (LAMP) install to do it. However that's not the only thing I use any of those three installs for. Mysql is handy for pretty much all database stuff I do away from web dev, it stores a huge table of my mp3 tunes which also have a reference where to find them on the network (I have storage boxes) it also runs the tables for my bot that I use on IRC when I chat. My own web applications like my RSS reader, link stores and I store all my various logs of stuff including a personal journal. Everyone thinks web servers when you mention Mysql but it's way more flexible than that. I use Bash as my Shell and use bash scripts, Perl and PHP to perform crappy tasks that you need to do at various times on a Linux box. My Bluetooth just worked when I plugged it in to my Linux where with Windows I had to mess about getting XP to accept that the drivers were not signed. That's the difference with Linux; YOU are in charge not the OS. I really got tired with the way that M$ were dumbing things down because they felt they needed to. Yeah sure M$, the unwashed masses shouldn't be driving your developments the power users should be.

Yeah I know it has been a long time

Even I am surprised that a month has passed so quickly. I've been thinking a lot about the system that runs this site and I think once again it is time to re-tweak it. I'm partial to banging my head off walls aye? No really I think it has come a long way from the simple Perl script that used to be but there are plenty of things I wish to add to it. For instance I'd love to add a simple dictionary function that adds the abbreviation stuff without me having to type it in the entry, I can do that now with the BBCode filter but the problem is the filter isn't clever enough and a word could be part of a link and in fact be part of the URL and then we have broken links. Easy to create and would make life pretty good, it would add extra queries on the database but then Wordpress uses on average near 16 just to load the main blog where I use... ONE! I've never understood why Wordpress doesn't use real relational queries properly.

Hello 'tinternet!

Well after my previous entry about the Arctic Monkeys they went straight in at number one in the UK Charts heh. Now perhaps the record industry will accept that free music online doesn't affect the sales of records. The Arctic Monkeys literally gave all there tracks away on the net for FREE well before they even got a record deal and both tracks they have released so far have gone straight in at number one. Also they had already SOLD OUT on there tour before they released anything in the charts and why? Well because people had ALREADY heard them on the web. I'm not sure if the people at record empires realise it yet but, hello? The web and music sharing is about the cheapest way to market a band EVER. The Arctic Monkeys again just proved that beyond a doubt.
