For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001 “Our God given unalienable rights are given to us all as individuals. They tell us what me may do for ourselves, and they are the embodiment of liberty. The so-called rights that government gives to some of us are parcelled out to select groups as classes. They tell us what one class of people may require another to do for them, and they are the very essence of slavery.”

More new stuff...


Published Tue, May 22 2007 9:07 PM

My web host has kindly provided instructions for installing several software packages to run alongside my web site. I'm in the (long and tedious) process of installing a few of these now.

One of the reasons the process is so slow and tedious is the file naming conventions. Files with names like ".something" give Web Folders fits, so I have to find the ones that fail, rename them, upload them, and then use a different tool to rename them back.

Some of the stuff I'm looking at is a package called "Gallery", another called "Joomla", one called "phpBB", another called "Advanced Poll", and "MediaWiki". These are all PHP applications with fairly large installation packages. It's going to take me a few days to put them all into place, mess around with the themes and CSS, and otherwise integrate them into the website.

I also have the option of installing WordPress, but I can't really see why I would want to do that. After all, I've spent a lot of time writing this blogging package. Well, actually, I can think of a reason why I might want to install WordPress, but I'm not ready to do that just yet. In any case, this blog is going to stay on the platform I developed for quite a long time. After all, I've got total control over the code, and it's a playground for me.

I think it might be cool to have polling and forum software set up here. I know I'm going to enjoy playing with MediaWiki. Maybe I'll create a "conservative concepts wiki".

I think some of this stuff will be fun.


The Gallery is installed. I'll probably be modifying the layout and style a bit in in the near future. I've wanted to put a photo gallery up for a while, and now I've got one. Currently, there's only one photo in it...
