Mr.Meat – meat online shop for Nicosia, Cyprus

Mr.Meat is the first project going live since I joined Qobo.  I’ve only had a minor role in this one, but it’s still delicious.  There aren’t many online shops in Cyprus, and even fewer that handle the delivery, so this new addition is very welcome, even if they only cover Nicosia delivery for now.  The thing that I love the most about this site is the photography – the images are just salivating!

Goodbye Easy Forex, hello Qobo

I’ve spent the last two and a half years working for Easy Forex.  I went from a consultant through senior web developer, team leader to the director of web development.  I’ve worked on a variety of projects and managed several teams.  I’ve had great fun and I’ve learned a lot.  (Thank you all!  You guys are awesome!)

But the time has come to make a change.  Today is my last day at Easy Forex.  Tomorrow is the first day of my new adventure – Qobo, where I will assume the position of the Chief Technical Officer.  Qobo is a Nicosia-based company that develops mostly web-based software for the enterprise needs.

I worked in this industry before, and I think now is a good time for me to return.

Redmine email notifications with Exim

When configuring Redmine project management to send email notifications, using Exim MTA, you might end up with test emails bouncing due to no recipients specified.  It’s a bit tricky to debug, but, fortunately, quite easy to fix.  The problem comes from different implementations of “-t” option handling for /usr/sbin/sendmail.  Redmine uses this option to specify on the command line to specify message recipients   However, Exim by default uses a different behavior, where it gets recipients from the message headers, and removes from that list recipients which are provided using the “-t” command line option.

The solution to the problem is a very simple – just add the following line to your /etc/exim/exim.conf file, as per this FAQ:
