Dyn, the company behind the widely known dynamic DNS service DynDNS, will shut down it’s free service effectively May 7th, 2014. Of course there are plenty of other free or freemium services out there, but history will repeat itself and these services will vanish over time, or change their business modell.
A while ago I spent an afternoon to implement my own dynamic DNS service.
Last night a long-running project of mine went live: pg_docbot v2.
For years, Jan Wieck provided a helper bot (rtfm_please) in the #postgresql IRC channel in the freenode network. Because of protocol changes in the freenode network, this bot was no longer functional. Together with some others we decided to write a quick and dirty new bot. As it is with dirty hacks, not everything was optimal: after timeouts the bot was not able to reconnect - more exactly the POE framework did not even recognize the timeout. Also extending the bot and adding new functionality was complicated. For a while I collected all these problems in my personal bugtracker and about two years ago I started a full rewrite.
The PostgreSQL User Group Germany were given the opportunity to have a booth at CeBIT 2010 and present the project. CeBIT is a very big IT-related exhibition and takes place in Hannover, Germany.
I released version 3.0 of the pwn-translation script. Although the version number is already 3.0, this is the first public available version.

There will be a workshop “optimize PostgreSQL, combine Perl and PostgreSQL” at the Perl Workshop 2009 on February 25 in Frankfurt/Main in Germany.
I have the following problem:
A database server and another client machine. I have to execute several \copy commands in psql on the client machine to retrieve data and store the output in CSV files. The PostgreSQL COPY command is not an option because it stores the results on the database server, not the client machine. All \copy commands are executed from several files containing SQL commands, which are concated together by a Makefile and feeded into psql. So far so good.
After exact 364 days the irssi folks published my last screen_away.pl version which includes SILC support.
If you use pure PHP (no database abstraction layer) with PostgreSQL, you may run into the problem that your BOOLEAN columns are not recognized by PHP but the value is instead returned as a string.
