If you’ve moved (are planning to move) to new domain & you don’t want to simply redirect to new domain.You want to tell your site visitors that your domain has changed. This simple PHP script shows very simple message that domain has changed for set amount of seconds, then redirected to the new domain. It is also render 301 status code.

How to set proxy in PHP-FPM
One of our clients server lives inside of tight security VPC. Therefore, all of our EC2 web server must use HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY.

Running 3,000 km in 2021
These days, I get very tired around 7pm and can no longer work after that. Then, I realized it’s may not just be because I’m getting old. It may also be because of I’ve run 300 km in Aug and Sep. I’m trying to run 3,000km in the year 2021 because I ran 2660km in 2020. In my personal opinion, you can run upto 3,000 km per year as a hobby runner.

I think this may be coming from World War II how Japanese imperial government brainwashed Japanese citizen to go towards war using education, politics and religion. Therefore, the government should […] -

Attending DojoCon Japan 2017
I love open source and community around it. My job is to spread the open source spirits and business in Japan. Now I am the father of two lovely daughters.
