So..

21Jul08

I decided to pick up this blog again. I didn’t feel like it for a while, but right now a lot of new things are happening and a blog is just a easy way for me to keep track and share some stuff along the line.

I am currently working on a totally new social webproject. I first decided though to redesing my dev-envoriment. I moved all my server-related things (Apache, PHP, MySQL) away from the infamous C:\ drive and went portable (read: flexible!). So, if at any point it time XP decides to get weird on me it won’t affect my DB, which it has done in the past, and also, I won’t be needing to install and reconfigure everything again. I advice all home-developers to look into a portable dev-setup. Me, i went with Uniform server. It has a fairly small footprint and is lightning fast. My only beef (with most of these portable’s to be honest), they always have the ‘www’ inside the program’s root-folder. I’d rather have it outside the server. With a few modifications i got that all up and running the way i liked it.

So, I will be spending some serious hours in designing, planning and developing this new project and from time to time I will share the progress or any other findings along the way. Rockstar development from the Netherlands.. *cough*
