Building hiphop-php

I won't go into the details of hiphop-php but needless to say it rocks. But their documentation seems to be lacking. If you are trying to get hiphop to build, try this script to patch their required changes to libevent and libcurl

git clone http://github.com/facebook/hiphop-php.git
wget http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent-1.4.14b-stable.tar.gz
tar xvfz libevent-1.4.14b-stable.tar.gz
cd libevent-1.4.14b-stable/
patch -p1 < ../hiphop-php/src/third_party/libevent-1.4.14.fb-changes.diff
sudo apt-get purge libevent-dev
./configure
sudo make && sudo make install
cd ..
wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.21.1.tar.gz
tar xvfz curl-7.21.1.tar.gz
cd curl-7.21.1/
patch -p1 < ../hiphop-php/src/third_party/libcurl.fb-changes.diff
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo apt-get install libgd2-noxpm-dev libxml2-dev libexpat1-dev libicu-dev libmcrypt-dev libonig-dev libreadline-dev libcap-dev binutils-dev libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libtbb-dev
cd ../hiphop-php
cmake .
make
make install

Free hosting for NPO's

http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting-nonprofit.html

I just learned that DreamHost (a really good hosting company) is offering free web hosting to 501(c)(3) organizations. Even more power to the technology stack for non-profits. The stack is currently:

Google Apps: Free enterprise email / document management
Salesforce.com: Free (for the first 10 users) enterprise class CRM
Dreamhost: Free web hosting for the WWW hosting.

Enjoy.

Unlearning to jump the curve

Futurist Jack Uldrich takes an "upside down" look at the world to remind us that "unlearning" will be a critical skill in the 21st Century.

Please create technology that makes the shared experience more human!
