A few months back I was tasked with getting Railo to run on MediaTemple’s DV server. It was a success, but a bit hairy at points. I had to cobble together instructions from several other guides and wing it in places that they didn’t cover.

What follows is instructions to get Railo, and thus ColdFusion support, running on a server stack that doesn't support it out of the box.

A few notes:
To the best of my knowledge and testing, installing Railo will not interfere with the default Apache, MySQL, or PHP's ability to serve pages. Also I am posting these instructions in the event you want or have to put Railo on a DV server. If you’re just looking for solid Railo hosting, I suggest VivioTech.

Also, This guide assumes you have at least basic knowledge of VI or its sibling VIM. If not, head over here to get yourself acquainted.

This clip is just amazing. I almost can't believe it exists. Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs started out as phone phreakers, meaning they built devices to let them hack onto the phone network and make calls around the globe without paying.

That in and of itself isn't totally surprising. What is surprising is Jobs' admission that Apple probably would have never even started if he and Wozniak hadn't messed with phone phreaking.

It makes me wonder what Jobs really thinks of Jailbreakers.

I was a fan of Hyetal’s work before I knew his name thanks to Cexman’s brilliant Archbroseph Mix.  The song in that mix, Gold or Soul, is simple yet vast. This track is a level up.

Hyetal - Phoenix

The Secret Sun by Tanya Johnston

I don’t have much to offer right now other than three songs, loosely related.

I love Ffffound, and I love that despite my inescapable cynicism, thousands of people are somehow able to trudge through and make excellent stuff.

Here’s to a rainy weekend.

Yulquen - Autechre
Departures - Closer Musik
Absence - Clark

If you haven't seen this talk by Seth Godin on quieting the lizard brain, it's easily worth 18 minutes of your time:
