Make it stop, please ...

While the fans of my laptop puffing hot air that smells of fried polymers, Nichi Vendola rattles off the repertoire of ready-made phrases to which we are accustomed. Not that I contexts priori his positions or that I have preconceptions about his person, I resent her only way of communicating. People capable of speaking for over 90 minutes of any topic with the frown, and that expression of the face seems to say that I am a serious person I've seen and heard them too. Usually is invariably the same machines that replicate rhetorical patterns, disguised as well-formed thoughts. Just listen to them twice in two different contexts - for example a press conference and on some local TV interview - to see that replicated every time the same mechanics of facial expressions, pauses and accents horribly identical. When communication is a cheesy snack, what's inside the clear plastic is usually not worth much. Make it stop, please ...

Debian Squeeze: change the memory_limit parameter in / etc/php5/cli/php.ini

On Debian Squeeze all there is to do a correction on the fly to the php.ini dedicated to running server-side scripting (aka command line). The correction is of vital importance, but only if you put in cron php script and do not want the server refuses to run because they require more memory than can be allocated. The problem is due to the parameter:

memory_limit = -1

Since it would seem a flag disabled and then we would expect that there is no limit to the allocated memory, but the behavior is anything but:

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 64 bytes) in /var/www/clients/client21/web54/web/XXXXXX.php on line 212

To work around this problem, you should specify which actually is the limit of memory that we intend to impose on a php script run from the command line. The parameter is in the file:

/etc/php5/cli/php.ini

And the change to be made is as follows:

; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (128MB)
; http://php.net/memory-limit
;memory_limit = -1
memory_limit = 128M
