Mark and I
tried to get PHP
installed on the main webserver. Or rather, I was doing it while Mark
looked on.
Snag one—when following the PHP instructions to install mod_php3
I found that it excluded the module I wrote,
mod_litbok. That's
when Mark took over and spent the next hour trying to get both PHP and my
module compiled into the same webserver.
I remarked that had I been the only one doing it, I wouldn't even give PHP a
consideration after 20 minutes—complexity for complexity's sake and the
poor quality of the install documentation and all that.
But Mark, who thrives on solving problems that shouldn't exist in the first
place due to poorly written software, got both modules installed. We copied
the (now huge) executable to the webserver.
My module didn't work properly. Mark was upset that I put the old
executable up. I consider my webserver a production server and until I find
the problem, I'm not going to have a half-working module.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
