Memory Cache vs Disk Cache

October 4th, 2008

There is this interesting discussion during meeting just now, it’s about caching, there are people claim that Memory cache is faster then Disk cache without looking at the big picture.

The Infrastructure is build in this way, the memory cache is not on web server itself, the memory cache is using memory on the storage server which no need too much processing power, theoretical Memory cache did perform better but now on this infra, the problem *is not* Memory Cache vs Disk Cache already, it is more like network transfer + memory cache vs disk cache.

Interesting, i never think of that.

Do we need WYSIWYG tools for blogging ?

October 4th, 2008

I been spending nearly half of day tweaking tinymce , one of the popular WYSIWYG on drupal, but the more i tweak it, the more i realiase it cannot be done. Example things that i can’t do

  • cannot insert flickr photo
  • cannot insert tag
  • conflict with different filter

although most of the problem i can solve it by other module, or switch between different input format, but this seem like not a good way to me.

I don’t really mind typing but of course i don’t want to type all the html code just to blog something, finally i found a module that allow me to make use of Textile - humane Web text generator , by using this module , it allow me to do some of the markup in simple way.

edit : this post is done during the time i m using drupal.
