Error 0x80240036 en actualitzar Windows XP SP2 a SP3

Tothom sap que els canvis a les empreses costen molt d'aplicar, i escarmentades com estan, aguanten tot el que poden amb el semi-descontinuat Windows XP. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, que li diuen.

Doncs bé, si volem actualitzar Windows XP SP2 a SP3, el procés d'actualització peta amb l'error 0x80240036.

En aquesta URL podreu trobar el paquet SP3 de Windows XP per a descarregar fora del Windows Update.

PhalconPHP: A PHP Framework as an Extension

PhalconPHP is a web framework delivered as a C extension providing high performance and lower resource consumption.

Install it is easy if you have experience building PHP. There is a port for FreeBSD if you disagree compilations :)

In this post: Instal·lant una màquina blava - 4) PHP 5.4 you can view the apt-get install's mandatory to build PHP and other extensions.

The requirements are : sudo apt-get install php5-dev php5-mysql gcc make

As explained in the README file: Follow these instructions to generate a binary extension for your platform: git clone git://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon.git cd cphalcon/build export CFLAGS="-O2 -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks" phpize --clean phpize ./configure --enable-phalcon make sudo make install Add extension to your php.ini extension=phalcon.so Finally restart the webserver

To test it, you can install an example app: INVO https://github.com/phalcon/invo cd /var/www git clone git://github.com/phalcon/invo.git cd invo echo 'CREATE DATABASE invo' | mysql -u root -p cat schemas/invo.sql | mysql -u root -p invo vi app/config/config.ini [database] host = localhost username = root password = ***** name = invo

Really fast! Are good news

PHP as universal communication language in business and production processes

Darrerament s'ha publicat un webminar a la secció IBM i de Zend sobre l'adopció de PHP com a llenguatge de propòsit general per a la gestió de negocis i producció.

Es tracta de la implementació d'un ERP escrit en PHP per a Aalberts Industries.

Resulta força interessant l'arquitectura desplegada per integrar l'ERP i el MES amb la producció, tot en PHP amb algunes crides RPG a codi legacy.

L'ERP s'executa sobre l'IBM i i el MES sobre una Debian. El MES requeria accés des de fora de la companyia i interconnexió amb tota la maquinaria de la fàbrica.

Les conclusions resulten força interessants:


• PHP is a universal platform independend programming language
• It’s fast and comprehensive
• Beside WEB programming it can be used for interfaces and processes
• Even real time data analysis is possible
• Zend Server provides the same environment on all platforms
• It’s easy to develop, to trace and to maintain
• It makes fun and provides fast success

PHP versió 5.4.8-dev saltant-se la 5.4.7

Fa uns dies es va començar a desenvolupar en la versió 5.4.8 a la branca master del repositori git de php:



Però ha sobtat que no s'hagi alliberat la versió 5.4.7 que si que ha estat tagejada al gitrepo el dia 29 d'agost.

La darrera notícia al web oficial de PHP és l'alliberament de la 5.4.6. Ves que no sigui de vacances que s'encarrega de les actualitzacions ;-)

sudoer warning message in Red Hat 6.2

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Els desenvolupadors d'IBM i, incondicionals d'IBM

A l'enquesta el·laborada per Zend el novembre del 2011 a 3.335 desenvolupadors de PHP, que podeu trobar a aquest enllaç:

http://venturebeat.com/2012/01/11/what-developers-will-be-doing-learning-listening-to-in-2012-survey-results/

Developer Pulse (PDF)

Observem que un 3% dels enquestats respon que durant el 2012 emprarà regularment RPG, el llenguatge de programació per excel·lència del sistema IBM i (AS/400).



Coincideix en número amb el percentatge de desenvolupadors que indiquen que el 2012 faran servir la cloud pública d'IBM, la recent IBM Smart Cloud.



Era previsible, els desenvolupadors d'IBM i som poquets, però incodicionals d'IBM :)
