What is this?
Hi, my name is Tom Lazar and I'm a Plone and Zope developer based in Berlin, Germany and this is my personal and professional (no big difference, really...) website.

(Re-) claiming technorati

Filed Under:

Some 542 days ago my claim at technorati for this blog went bust. I guess it had something to do that I tentatively claimed the whole URL of this blog (i.e. http://tomster.org/blog/) and somehow technorati stumbles over that last bit. So I'm (re-) claiming this blog now with the top-level URL (http://tomster.org). What the hell, here it goes... Technorati Profile.

Markdown FTW!

This entry is just to test, whether markdown is actually working on this machine. Count me lucky, if you see this bold ;-)

MetaweblogAPI working for Quills 1.5

Filed Under:

I distinctly remember, that Metaweblog API support for the Quills instance at tomster.org/blog was broken at some point. Either due to an update of the 1.5 version I'm running or (perhaps) to some change in my webserver setup in front of it. I hate editing through-the-web and so my blogging frequency dropped considerably. I twitter reasonably frequently, tough, simply because I can do it from Quicksilver.

Anyway, after being prompted by Sasha (who uses Quills 1.5 for his own blog with Metaweblog API) I tried out FireScribe and it worked. And now I'm back in ecto and writing away.

You are sooo going to be spammed from this blog now ;-)

Hello from the Plone Conference

This is really just a test of me posting to the Quills instance that powers this blog from Scribe Fire, after Sasha telling me about it. Count me happy if you can read this ;-)

Fix for ConnectionStateError when using ZEO

Filed Under:
On my never-ending quest for improving this blog's performance I guess, I've just earned myself another notch in my belt by applying this patch to Five... Prior to its application, this instance (and other sites running Zope 2.9.x and Five 1.4) would suffer from random but substantial ZEO connection errors.
So, if your site seems sluggish and you find lots of occurrences of ConnectionStateError: Shouldn't load state for 0xXX when the connection is closed in your Zope log, you'll either have to wait (and upgrade to) Five version > 1.4.2 or apply this patch (devised by some helpful soul going by the moniker of 'Yuppie').
Now both tomster.org, as well as kodex online seem noticeably more snappy™, especially the non-cacheable bits, such as topic queries or search results.
