Just a quick note to any who might be wondering…I have been having to split my blogging time to allow me to keep making progress developing my website. I bought the domain a while ago, but I am trying to get a development environment installed on my windows box so I can try my hand at coding in PHP and MySQL. I am sure it will still be a while before its up and running, but I need to allot regular time to this project so I can at least feel it growing little by little.
Today when I get home from my “real” job, I plan on installing and configuring Apache/PHP/MySQL on my machine. Hope it all goes well…I have done it before but lost it when I had to reformat about a year ago. When I did it that time, I did it manually, and it took me two days. I learned alot about .ini files and stuff, but it was a major pain in the ass. I think this time I will try some packaged installers and see how that goes. The one I am planning on trying is by FoxServ. If any one out there has ever used this package…let me know ahead of time if there’s anything I need to watch out for and I’d be eternally grateful.
So in case anybody is wodnering where the “Rock Band Logo” review is for today, it’s coming. Maybe a bit later, maybe tomorrow. We shall see. Stay tuned…my blog stats are dropping like stones through a murky brine.
