PHP, MySQL, Apache and a local copy of B2Evolution(blog software) are now present and functioning properly on my home server. I took the cd that came with the Teach yourself php, mysql, and apache and made a coaster out of it. The installation instruction in the book SUCKS HARD; instead I removed the cocked up install and used XAMPP with worked great. Now all i need is a CSS teaching book, finish reading the two PHP books I bought and I should have enough knowledge to get this blog site looking the way I want..or at least i might understand how the damn thing works in the first place.

So far compy has been blue screen of death free due to new video drivers that were released two days ago, I hope that fixes to issue or the next step will be a fresh install and I have no desire to install windows plus about 30 apps plus the hassle of rebuilding several databases of info. Like the Yahoo archives and all the various unfinished projects I am currently getting around to procrastinating on.

Other things i did today...brought Fancy, my dog, into the vet for her yearly shots (she is great health except for a bit of plaque on her molars) and assisted mom and others with hauling off old furniture from Grandfathers house who's health has reached the point of needing facility based care. :(

Getting old sucks, i need to remember to stop doing that...I know, Chocolate, yeah that will fix me up...
