Recently, I had to make a mock-up of a filtering function (something I need for a project I work on) so I can show-case it around. And since this mock-up seems to impress some people, I decided to share this function with everybody so others may enjoy the

JS classes for the masses.
Following on an older post of mine, I decided to write a new article about an(other) implementation of OOP Classes in JavaScript. This is something that brings a lot of value from very few lines of code and I want to share it with everyone and see how

All right! I finally got around to releasing this code to the public. I won’t say much now (since I’m tired) but I will say that this software has been functioning in production environment for over 1 year and a half serving all the video content available on the
Read moreLua-TTyrant: a TokyoTyrant binding for Lua.
Some time ago I started a small project to implement a C-to-Lua binding of the TokyoTyrant library, called “lua-ttyrant“. A few days ago, while working with a script that was actually using it, I decided to polish it up, finish it and eventually submit it to be included
Read moreA simple(r) approach for class-based OOP in JavaScript.
Like others before me, I found JavaScript’s prototype-based OOP support – while very powerful – quite cumbersome in some situations where I needed a certain structure or hierarchy of objects, situations in which one quickly comes to the conclusion that the best answer would be the concept of

Here’s a small but very effective command-line option parser written in JavaScript (uses NodeJs). You can get the up-to-date source code at http://gist.github.com/982499. I wrote this because I needed it for a project and I did not think it was worth it to install some npm package just

My blog is about programming, that’s a fact and while I never broke this tradition so far, today I feel like making an exception. Why, you ask? For her: mademoiselle… Anastasia. 😀 She was born on the 5th of January, 2011 and she really wanted to say “Hi!”

UPDATE: http://vpalos.com/1165/loomiere-2-0-1-beta-finally-out/ This article is a quick peek into how Loomiere 2.0 is (currently) serving close to 3k active streams from a single server in production which is restricted to 1.6 Gbps of bandwidth (we are currently negotiating with our ISP to raise this limitation). All these statistics represent a single machine, in

Words seem to fail to describe just how awesome LPeg is. Designed as a Lua implementation of the PEG concept, it is a true programming gem! Please, if you dont’t know what it is, take some time to familiarize yourself with it! It’s not the easiest thing to
