I’m on the lookout for really good step-by-step tutorials that describe how to install and configure PHP and MySQL on a Windows box. I’m looking for a suitable counterpart to these great Mac OS X "how to"s (PHP, MySQL).
I heard this song Sunday morning on KFOG’s acoustic sunrise show. I was driving along thinking to myself, “Self, this sounds a lot like an old Simon and Garfunkle tune with Garfunkle singing the lead.” Sure enough, it’s off the new Art Garfunkle album. Might have to pick that up.
I had a bit of a frustrating weekend on the golf course - time to get some lessons again. My last approach shot on 18 on Sunday felt really great, I think I know what I need to work on - just need to find some time to do it. I’m making it though the workouts better in my conditioning class. As Seinfeld says:
I love to exercise, but I still have to laugh at it.You go to the health club, you see all these people and they’re working out; they’re training, they’re getting in shape. But nobody’s really getting in shape for anything. In modern society, you really don’t have to be physically strong to do anything. The only reason that you’re getting in shape is so you can get through the workout. So we’re working out, so that we’ll be in shape, for when we have to do our exercises. That’s comedy.
Eric has posted more from his recent travels. I really like this photo.
This is a great resource for people who use the Chimera browser on Mac OS X. I added this to my links page as well.

That’s funny, I just had to set up apache, php, and mySQL on my windows machine this weekend. I followed the directions at http://www.devarticl[...]om/art/1/202
They were very good. It was all up and running in minutes.

Hi,
I used the Foxserv Setup.
(www.foxserv.net)
Installed like a snitch
although a bit much to download (33Megs).
I just checked out this new
tasks pack. - Pretty cool.
I would just need to be able to expand/collapse
the taks in the home view
- just like MS Project
Great tool.
I`ll keep an eye on it.
Bye
Nike
P.S. Just in case you have
a documentation coming,
I could translate it for you
into german - just my little donationoffer to you…

The reason I don’t have the tree view on the home page is that the browsers were choking on the HTML when there were a lot of tasks - it was too much and response/page load time was lousy. I have it on my to-do list to experiment with on-demand loading of the next level of a tree which would alleviate that problem.
Thanks for the offer of German translation, I will definitely take you up on that. I hope to get some help actually writing the docs which would speed up the process a little. If not, it may take a little while before docs are ready. I’ve been working for a long time on this and need a little break

There’s really nothing to a PHP/MySQL setup on Windows (at least the CGI version of PHP; I’ve never done the module version). The GUI installers have become very good over the last few years. All you have to do is hack your Apache .htconf file to get it to pass .php extensions to the .dll and get it to allow ‘index.php’ as a valid index file. All that info is in the intall instructions that come with PHP, I think.
BTW, tasks looks really cool and I’m going to try it out later today. Thanks for all the nice software and online demos/screenshots. The JS snippets are cool, too (especially that show/hide div trick).
