    I was thinking of starting a support group, meetings on friday nights. Because we have no life friday nights is just as good as any other night.

    Enjoy!!

    Well, fortunately I'm not bald. I do wear glasses and if you've got a slice of pizza, e-mail it to me. Now where did I put my pepsi?

    BTW, I ended up crapping out my lamp server hard-core and now I can't get any of the lamp components to reinstall so I'm going to have to do a fresh install of Ubuntu.

    Suck.

    The LAMP stack is Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (although any one of those words can be replaced with another that's similarly free and of a similar function, for example the P could refer to Perl or Python.) It's just a way of referring to the set of free software components one could use to cobble together a webserver. I hadn't heard of this term until a couple of years ago, but apparently it's been in use for some time now.

    yah, that was a first for me, it had me wondering even though I don't run linux or BSD right now, I still like to keep up with them :)
