CPanel EasyApache and Customizing httpd.conf

Warning: I'm geeking out for a bit here with a technical entry about editing apache configuration files in Cpanel. I barely found anything out on the Interwebs about this, so I thought I'd document what I learned. All of our web servers run the CPanel host management software. It's nice having so much of the server configuration options...

WebDev: OS X Local Server Management with Headdress

After working through my OS X sandbox setup post earlier today, which involves manual setup of the Apache configuration files, I was alerted to a nice little application called Headdress.

OSX Tiger Purrs

I'm a Mac user. I don't know if that sort of statement surprises people any longer, but it still surprises me to hear myself say it. I have been a "switchter" for a year and a half now and I really enjoy the combination of a very well designed graphical OS with Unix under the covers. I spend a good portion of my time in a Unix command line...
