After a few days of hell formatting hard drives, installing different operating system (Win2K, XP, Mandrake) I am now happily settled on Fedora. My network and Internet connection are both up and cruising, I have Apache, PHP and MySQL configured. Open Office for all my word processing, spread sheeting and presentation needs.

Over the years of running this site, one of the thing that I find amusing is the spammers attempting to add links to the Resources page. Most of them try one or two and realise that the links get validated and checked before being approved.

Looks like the popularity of firefox is really taking off.

PHP 5.0.0 has been released.
Read up about the new features at Zend PHP5 Info Center

Lately I have been doing a little reading in my spare time at phpPatterns() a site full of interesting articles on PHP design patterns and OO programming run by Harry Fuecks.

Tonight, I'm off to the second Brisbane WSG meeting.
