We’ve just launched a new website for Florida Partners in Crisis.
Florida Partners in Crisis offers treatment and support services for people with mental illnesses and substance abuse disorders. Their new website will allow them to bring vital information to the public in a timely manner and with the skywriter content management system and our custom web tools running the site they can update most of the content on their own.
We’ve just become a sponsor for BarCampOrlando. See you there.
BarCampOrlando is a bi-yearly event to bring together people from different technical backgrounds to share and learn from each other. Several of us have just registered for the event and we’re very excited about attending.
I’m working on a side project, naturally in PHP (v4.4.1 to be specific). There’s a lot of string parsing, and regex just wasn’t able to handle it. When it worked, it would take 30+ seconds; often it timed out. I went and wrote some tail-recursive functions that would do the parsing, but much faster (it works about 90% of the time and load times take 2-3 seconds).
Unfortunately, PHP doesn’t work well with recursion. For one, there’s no real good way to release memory, so it’s easy to use up all the available memory quickly. Oh well, so be it. That’s how the language is built.
Recently I’ve found myself thinking about something really cool going on at work or out in the tech world and then I’ll have the following thought, “that really deserves an official corporate blog post.” Then I let the moment slip by and I quickly find myself wrapped up in the all of the other happenings around the office.
With this post I declare that these moments of inspiration shall slip by no more!
I’m hoping to use this blog to let everyone know about the various things going on here at cloudspace. Notices about new projects, server/system upgrades, and general techy things will hopefully fill this space and provide an informative and interesting read. So welcome to the first of many blog postings by myself and the staff here at cloudspace!
