Minimal VPS Installation
My server from YardVPS was already pretty darn close to a minimal installation. There were few more things left to do however:
- Update the server
- Install Midnight Commander (personally can't live without this thing!)
- Stop and disable httpd (the Apache web server)
Client and Server Side Cloaking
What is cloaking?
Cloaking is the method of showing different content to user based on various factors.
Examples of Black-Hat SEO cloaking:
- Search engine cloaking (serving content that ranks for a keyword to the engines in order to lure visitors in, but then redirect the visitor to another page or show them an offer for a product and/or service)
- This particular technique is against Google's webmaster guidelines and can really annoy visitors

Getting started in JavaScript, AJAX, and jQuery, Part 1
The rise of Ajax, or Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, has brought with it a movement towards more interactive Internet sites and the use of "web applications", without a need to install proprietary plug-ins. As nearly all personal computers and "smart" mobile devices now contain web browsers capable of showing JavaScript, those interested in making interactive sites and applications for a variety of platforms would do well to learn to use it, at least to the point where they can use the more advanced libraries that reduce the necessary workload.
In this article, I'll go over how to set up a working environment for programming in JavaScript. If you already have an understanding of these topics, Part 2 will start to go more in-depth with using Ajax and explaining how it works. It is recommended that you already have an understanding of HTML and CSS so that you sites will not only be interactive, but also appeal to users aesthetically.
