The Glass Is Getting Half Fuller!
Well, with the loan of an old Dell server and some judicious and meticulous fiddling with old peripherals etc, I now have a computer running. I have installed WAMP (Windows -Apache, MySQL, and PHP) and can now work on learning up on my PHP again!
For some reason, it took two or three different sound cards to find one that would work, even with the right drivers.
Because the server is all SCSI (ie no IDE connectors at all), I can’t access my old hard drives yet and it only has CD-ROM so I can’t watch DVDs, or other movies, but I can play games during commercials.
And weren’t the recent post-hiatus episodes of BSG and Heroes fairly kickass?
