My presentation will include specific examples showing how we've helped some of the world's greatest online marketers, generate $100m in new sales over 15 days.
I'm looking to share my experience, motivate and leave you with a few take-away tools & tips you can put to use right away.

10 Must-have BlackBerry applicationsMike Peters, May 13 -- Filed under Basics |
Ok, I admit it. I'm a CrackBerry!
I feel the BlackBerry is the absolute best consumer handheld device and can't imagine my life without one. (Yeah I did try the iPhone. Trust me, it doesn't even come close)
Funny thing is I rarely use the BlackBerry for voice calls. 95% of the time I use it as a portable handheld.
People always ask me "What's the best app for this and that", so I've decided to write it all here. Then I can easily refer people to this post.
Following Adrian's 10 Must-have applications that will improve your work flow, here's a list of my top 10 BlackBerry applications. I use all of these on a daily basis.
== Communication
1. BOLT browser
Much better than the built-in browser, Bolt offers native support for SSL, Javascript, Frames, IFrames and Ajax. Opera Mini is another great bb browser, but I like BOLT better.
2. JiveTalk
Tried just about every instant-messenger for the BlackBerry.
supports GTalk, Yahoo, MSN and ICQ. Great user interface and very stable
3. UberTwitter
Best full-featured twitter client for the BlackBerry
== Search
4. Google Mobile Apps
Adds a slick blue "G" button, that allows you to quickly search Google.com without having to launch a browser. Also comes with a fast GMail interface
== Staying up to date
5. Google Sync
Google Calendar is my primary way of managing all meetings, calls, firm deadlines etc. Google Sync automatically syncs with Google Calendar on the air.
6. Viigo
Hands down the best RSS reader. Fast, efficient and supports offline mode (read stories offline and they will be marked as 'read' when you go back online)
== Software Development
7. MidPSSH
Light-weight SSH client. Free and good enough to handle most tasks. User interface takes a while getting used to
== Travel
8. Garmin Mobile
If you travel as much as I do, shell out $99 and spoil yourself with Garmin Mobile. The best GPS navigation system for the BlackBerry. Beats my car navigator.
9. CryptMagic
When on the go, I always used to forget an important password or two. CryptMagic is a password vault with powerful 128-bit encryption
10. Beyond411
Everything you get when calling 411 and more, totally free. Built-in GPS support for local search, directions and weather.
-
Got any additional recommendations? Let me know!

How to: Install PHP+Memcached+GD on FreeBSD / CentOSDawn Rossi, May 9 -- Filed under Programming |
This weekend I had to provision 6 new servers for a web hosting client. 3 of the servers were FreeBSD and the remaining 3 CentOS machines.
For FreeBSD, we're going with NGinx web server, PHP 4.9, Memcached and GD. For CentOS, Apache2 web server and PHP 5.
This step by step tutorial includes everything you need to create a similar setup.
Nginx with PHP+Memcached+GD on FreeBSD:
1. Install FreeBSD packages and ProFTPD
cd /usr
mkdir tmp
cd tmp
setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/
pkg_add -r libevent
pkg_add -r libtool
pkg_add -r m4
pkg_add -r pcre
pkg_add -r pdftk
pkg_add -r rsync
pkg_add -r vim
pkg_add -r wget
fetch http://softwareprojects.com/files/auto/proftpd-1.3.1.tar.gz

8. Setup Rsync for replication
The 3 servers are designed to mimic each other, for performance and reliability.
More information about using Rsync for web server replication.
One server is designated as the master and the remaining two servers have this line on their cronjob.
Be sure to replace mwHost with the master server to rsync from, mwUser with the master username and mwPass with the master password. Replace myHost with the current machine hostname.
Remove root from /etc/ftpusers before running this script
Run this on all slave servers
# Make sure the certificate doesn't exist
rm -rf /root/.ssh/id_rsa*
# Generate a new certificate
ssh-keygen -N "" -t rsa -f /root/.ssh/id_rsa
echo "open $mwHost" >> ftp.txt
echo "user $mwUser $mwPass" >> ftp.txt
echo "bin" >> ftp.txt
echo "cd /root/.ssh" >> ftp.txt
echo "get authorized_keys" >> ftp.txt
echo "cd /etc/ssh" >> ftp.txt
echo "get ssh_host_dsa_key.pub" >> ftp.txt
echo "bye" >> ftp.txt
ftp -n < ftp.txt
# Remove my own hostname from authorized_keys
cp authorized_keys authorized_keys.org
cat authorized_keys | grep -v $myHost >tmp.$$
mv -f tmp.$$ authorized_keys
# Append my certficate to authorized_keys
cat /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >>authorized_keys
# Remove the host from known_hosts
cp -f /root/.ssh/known_hosts known_hosts.org
cat /root/.ssh/known_hosts | grep -v "^$mwHost " >tmp.$$
mv -f tmp.$$ known_hosts
# Add the host to known_hosts
echo "$mwHost `cat ssh_host_dsa_key.pub | cut -d' ' -f1-2`" >>known_hosts
# Upload the NEW authorized_keys on the remote machine
echo "open $mwHost" >>ftp.$$
echo "user $mwUser $mwPass" >>ftp.$$
echo "bin" >>ftp.$$
echo "cd /root/.ssh" >>ftp.$$
echo "del authorized_keys" >>ftp.$$
echo "put authorized_keys" >>ftp.$$
echo "bye" >>ftp.$$
ftp -n < ftp.$$
# Install the NEW known_hosts
mv -f known_hosts /root/.ssh/known_hosts
Add this line to the crontab of all slave servers
Again - replace $mwHost with the ip address of the master server
/usr/local/bin/rsync --exclude temp/ --exclude tmp/ --exclude log/ --progress --stats --archive -z --compress -t $mwHost:/usr/local/nginx/html/ /usr/local/nginx/html/
