So, I finally managed to get the Mailman setup working with Exim. This comes as quite a surprise, particularly given my relative inability of using Exim. Nonetheless, I have got it working, and I can officially announce the West Midlands PHP User Group. The aim of the...

Today my first print copy of php|architect arrived and it is pretty darn good. I have been waiting for this for ages, and although I have bought a few of their PDF back issues, it is far more satisfying having a print copy to leaf through. I found this particularly...

Yesterday at work I managed to reinstall a fresh hoary on my laptop and claim back half the hard disk that was reserved for Windows – I have decided to run Windows in VMWare. I just need to compile the fricking vmware kernel module. Anyone know what this kernel...

I have discovered in recent weeks that I am finding it increasingly difficult to blog enough. Much of the reason for this is because I am so busy busy doing stuff, I rarely seem to get the time to tell the world about it. As such, from this blog entry onwards, I am...
