PHP, MongoDB and GridFS →
nosql:
The PHP annotations remember me of doing the same in Java pre-1.5. Still useful to separate metadata from your core code:
You can easily setup a Document that is stored using the MongoDB GridFS by using the @File annotation:
Update: there’s ☞ another post showing how to use PHP annotations for different types of embedded documents in MongoDB
Canonical, Ubuntu and NoSQL →
nosql:
Separately, sources close to Canonical have told The Reg that the company is in talks with Cassandra and CouchDB on NoSQL, and start-up PuppetLabs for data-center automation and provisioning.

Canonical is targeting Hadoop and NoSQL – used by hyperscale providers like Yahoo! and Facebook – believing ordinary businesses are now ready to start use them for data processing and...
ColdFusion's Flawed JSON and NoSQL databases →
nosql:
It’s kind of difficult to understand why they cannot get JSON right:
Now the surprise: ColdFusion 9.0.1 says goodbye to the number format in JSON. All numbers in JSON will become strings once ColdFusion gets its hand on the data. There are no more numbers. 10 becomes “10”, 10.2 becomes “10.2” etc. Even though the patch notes stated that differently. And i still believe it was not...

Presentation: Getting Started with MongoDB and...
nosql:
The main point behind Grant Goodale’s presentation is that MongoDB and Node.js are great together:
both understand Javascript and JSON
both are fast
Getting Started with MongoDB and Node.js

For those that don’t know I’ve decided to start training women in Self Defense. While I’m not a Self Defense Instructor, I am however apparently doing the right thing. Today after many snafu’s, mistakes, and more than few missteps: I held my first women’s self defense seminar. 2 women, 4 men, and 1 dog showed up. So I’ll count this one as a win. I also learned...
Being a father in 2 countries
For those that don’t know, I have 1 daughter, 2 sons, 2 god children, and way to many nieces / nephews. My children however live in separate countries. Here’s an overview of the experience.

jonathanmoore:
Absolutely anyone can sell crappy work to clients. It’s actually quite easy, and on of the main reasons why there are so many terrible ads, mediocre campaigns, and uninspired websites reeking of sameness. If you want to sell a truly unique idea or creative work to a client it will take hard work and serious effort.
Here are a few key points from the article: know the work...

Re-Introducing Myself
Let’s be honest, if your reading this your not engaged yet. While I’ve fulfilled my goal in getting you here: I still haven’t brought you value.

I want and hope to find a way to get you the reader to identify with I.n.I.; and yes that...

Cassandra, HBase, Riak: Choosing the Right... →
nosql:
Mozilla shows us the right way of choosing a storage solution (as opposed to this completely incorrect way):
list as many requirements and details as you have
identify critical features
install, experiment and compare with your checklist
analyze and document missing features, nice-to-haves, etc.
Not only that but the post goes on and explains how Cassandra, HBase, and Riak each...

OrientDB Schema Options: Schema-less, Schema-full,... →
nosql:
I’ve seen a similar approach on handling different schema approaches in the Java Content Repository spec:
Although OrientDB can work in Schema-less mode sometime you need to enforce your data model using a schema. OrientDB supports schema-full or schema-mixed solutions where the second one means to set such constraints only for certain fields and leave the user to add custom fields to...
myNoSQL: NoSQL and The Future of CMS →
Interesting to check if the set of requirements of a CMS represent a good fit for NoSQL solutions:
…
The only requirement that doesn’t seem to be satisfied by most of the NoSQL is “ACID transactions”. But in case this could be translated into atomic and durable operations, I think most of the…
