JODConverter from Art of Solving is a work of art

declanshanaghy — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 06:19:26 +0000

FaxIt Nice’s document conversion system has been supported on the back end by OpenOffice.org since the very first day we went into business. “OpenOffice.org is a multiplatform and multilingual office suite and an open-source project.” We received major help in this integration in our first release from Caolan Mc Namara, one of the developers of OpenOffice, for which we are truly thankful.

This time round, in FaxIt Nice 3.0 we streamlined our integration a little more thanks to a component named JODConverter, provided by “Art of Solving” a software house / IT consultancy firm run by Mirko Nasato in London, U.K.

FIN 3.0 Initial Deployment Plan

declanshanaghy — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 08:17:31 +0000

I’ve started writing the initial deployment plan for FaxIt Nice 3.0. The webapp deployment itself should be pretty straightforward. We’ve already done it a million times on our staging server. Where things get complicated is making sure the distributed filesystem, FaxIt By Email, XML-RPC interface and DNS transfer to the new hosts all play nicely together in the new environment.

Setting up a SAN

declanshanaghy — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 23:53:34 +0000

Right off the bat this SAN will host data files for FaxIt Nice. Possible expansion in the future may include e-mail and mysql storage but thats not a priority for now. Also because FaxIt Nice is a distributed application the filesystem will also need to support multiple initiators on each LUN. This immediately brings to mind Redhat Global Filesystem (GFS)
Our most likely OS will be Cent OS 5, as that is what i have decided to migrate to for all our servers in the future.

Long live the new blog

declanshanaghy — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 19:20:14 +0000

I’ve moved the FaxIt Nice category from my own blog to here. It makes more sense to have this stuff in a blog dedicated to 350 Nice activity rather than on my own personal space.
