Check out phpmac.com for information on running PHP on a Mac.
I’ve just started playing around with PHP a bit, since there’s a chance we’ll need to do something with it at work. Everything else we’re doing is ASP.NET, but we’re outsourucing something that’s liable to be done in PHP. As usual, I’ll probably end up supporting it after it’s delivered. I’ve got nothing against PHP, but it sure would be nice if I didn’t have to learn yet another scripting language!
Slashdot | New Battlestar Galactica – Worth a Series?
I actually liked the new Galactica. As an ongoing series, I could see it going either way — either falling into cliche and gimmick quickly, or maintaining an interesting storyline with evolving, complex, characters. Who knows?
It’s been a long day — my neighbor’s alarm clock went off at 5:45am this morning, and he left it going (on a classic rock station) for about a half-hour, so I couldn’t get back to sleep. I managed to get a few things done today, including my homework. I also made a nice big pot of chili.
Claremont, Davis reunite on Uncanny X-Men — Wow, I haven’t read an X-Men comic in years, but I love Alan Davis and I’ve got a lot of respect for Claremont. Could be good.
A nice article about the iPod from the NY Times Magazine: The Guts of a New Machine
1and1 is working out fine so far. I haven’t had a chance to play with any PHP stuff or anything like that, but I did set up a new guestbook and a counter. I may start playing around with Movable Type soon, if I can find the time.
My site is now hosted on 1and1.com, and it seems to be working out all right. They have a limited-time deal right now where you can get free hosting for 3 years, including shell access, a bunch of e-mail accounts, PHP, and some other fun stuff. Definitely better than Yahoo/GeoCities. I’m not sure if they’ll really honor the whole 3 years, or if they’ll go out of business or something, but I figure it’s worth a shot. Now I need to learn some PHP so I can do some fancy stuff on the site…
I’m looking to change my web host over to 1and1.com, so access to this site through andrewhuey.org may be spotty while I transfer stuff over. I’m sure you can all live with that. 🙂
So much for the long Thanksgiving weekend. Back to work tomorrow! I did a whole bunch of Christmas shopping this weekend, plus I mailed out my Christmas cards, started Final Fantasy VIII, and I even made some progress with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Looks like I need to check out The Triplets Of Belleville at some point.
