Tech evangelism and Miso soup like no other
Searching For Results: A Comparison of Search Engines
Jun 24th
The release of Microsoft’s new search engine, Bing on June 3 was relatively quiet compared to the hype that surrounded such events like the WWDC. Surprisingly, however, Bing’s progress has been closely monitored and commented on, and the internet inundated by tech blogs reviewing the three giants. Not to be left out, TechMiso is joining the fray with it’s very own review performed by someone whose job it is to regularly scour the internet for information that doesn’t always seem to be there. Trust me, it’s sort of like mining for gold.
Man vs TV Channel
Jun 22nd
It’s Friday night, you’ve finished work and kicked your wife into her bed. Time to watch TV! But what do you want to watch? There are so many channels with so many TV shows these days that it is hard to make a decision if you don’t have a favourite channel or show.
Miso Soup Kitchen Fires Up Again
Jun 22nd
As most folks have noticed, TechMiso has not been producing vast quantities of Miso Soup over the course of the past couple weeks. Comparing our two-week output to each week prior and it becomes evident that our Miso Soup kitchen is not performing up to our high standards. In the interest of full disclosure and rather than keep our faithful readers in the dark, I would like to enlighten everyone on the status of the Miso Soup.
Pragmatic Thoughts About Apple’s WWDC Product Releases
Jun 14th
The entire world was sitting on the edge of their seats, anxiously awaiting the fabled Apple World Wide Developers Conference Keynote Speech, a presentation which over the course of the last few years has provided some of the most exciting new Apple product news. Or maybe not? After soaking in the announcements for the past week, it seems there really is nothing truly revolutionary or groundbreaking even though a vast array of consumers seems quite jazzed.
Why I Don’t Buy An i
Jun 12th
I don’t buy iAnythings. Most people are in disbelief at this principle and question how I can refrain from buying such stylish, trendy and ubiquitous gadgets while others simply surmise that I’m trying to be coolly rebellious and anti-establishment. Right. The real story behind my anti-iAnything life principle is simply because the iExperience doesn’t live up to my life expectations.
Dear Safari…
Jun 7th
Tabs, bookmarks, search forms, these are all features that we take for granted when it comes to browsing the web using our favourite web browser. We expect it to work, to be fast, and most important, it shouldn’t bother us with stupid behaviour or messages.
Every major web browser supports tabbed browsing these days, it makes it easier to maintain the websites you are visiting. Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, even Internet Explorer supports tabs. Seeing that the concept of using tabs has been around for a while, you’d think it would be trouble free, too bad you’re wrong. In this case there’s a problem with Apple’s Safari, a problem that could’ve been solved a long time ago as Safari has been supporting tabs since April 2003.
HOWTO Install Cherokee, MySQL, PHP and WordPress on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope
Jun 5th
Cherokee is a smoking hot up-and-coming web server capable of hanging with Apache while consuming exponentially less resources than its older sibling. As we wrote earlier, Cherokee saved TechMiso from Apache scalping all available RAM, ultimately allowing us to continue to provide the same service we provide today but with far better memory consumption. Learn how to install and configure Cherokee, MySQL, PHP and WordPress on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope for a lean, mean, efficient web serving machine.
Birth of the Mobile Brats
Jun 4th
Does anyone else feel a little bit tech-spoiled? Now that I have a 3.5G phone (Nokia E71 and loving it) and an unlimited data plan, I’ve noticed that whenever I have to wait for something – anything – regardless of how long it may take – from less than 1 minute to 10 minutes, I automatically sit down, whip out my phone and fire up Opera Mini. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. I’m unbelievably happy to have the internet at my fingertips anywhere and almost everywhere, subject to the infrastructure of my service provider.
TechMiso Taken Over By Holland
Jun 4th
As if the TechMiso crew wasn’t getting big enough, it just got worse. Today TechMiso faced a few serious problems as their website was raided by Dutch farmers who sell tulips, live in Amsterdam and walk around in wooden clogs all day. Luckily for them, they only left one person behind, that person is me.
So let me introduce myself. My name is Yorick Peterse, I am your average 16 year old boy, who’s currently enjoying the fact that he’s done with Secondary school (finally.) There’s only one problem, I have an addiction. Only the addiction is a positive one, I am addicted to photography and web development. I started doing both about a year ago, first web development, and after a few months I also gotten into photography. It wasn’t the first time I came into contact with art, in fact, I’ve been into art my whole life. Now you might wonder what the heck this has to do with TechMiso, but to tell you the truth, it has everything to do with it.
Cherokee Web Server To The Rescue!
May 31st
When TechMiso first launched the site was operating on a special Joyent Accelerator with minimal specifications. The site quickly outgrew the nominal features set so we migrated to a 256 slice at SliceHost, one of the best virtual service providers today. Although a superior provider, we immediately started experiencing problems with Apache due to it eating more RAM than available. Cherokee web server came to the rescue and solved all our problems, world peace to follow.
