Opening new windows
The Media Fair is now two days away. My kids, as I mentioned
before, are making a web site about planets. It is nearly
complete. I'm very proud of them. When it's done, I'll have
it hosted on this server, insha'Allah.
OK, so I am going to try to bring back the downloads section
soon. There are scripts and other knick-knacks that I've been
working on lately. For instance, I have a lot of hosting clients
who want Mambo (http://www.mamboserver.com) (especially after I suggest it). So, I wrote a
shell script that will automatically download it, chmod files where
necessary, and prepare it for install. It doesn't install it
because it's a web based install. Plus users have to setup their
own MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/) databases. Nevertheless, it really saves me time.
Anyway, back to the Media Fair. I needed a laptop to show the
web site to the judges. So, I borrowed my father's. It has
Windows XP on it (ewwwww). So, I managed to install Apache (http://www.apache.org), PHP (http://www.php.net/),
and MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/) on it (cool).
I want to buy a laptop. In fact, I even have one picked out, but
alas, I am but a pauper. Perhaps when I finally save up the
money, I'll appreciate it that much more. The life of a Poor Righteous Teacher. **sigh**
