After finishing my morning coffee (the unexpected mocha) I got dressed and went and umpired a youth baseball game. Seven innings, 1:45 start to finish. Came home, changed into the grubbies and finished splitting the wood that's been piled in the driveway, and soft-stacked it until I can build a new rack to store it in. Ran the blower on the driveway after cleaning up the firewood detritius, then helped the boy with doing the yard. Showered then had dinner, and just sitting down here to catch up on a the GFY'ing that has transpired since this morning. :D

Well you're a better man than I am Doug. Mainly because I'm a woman, but still :)

This made me curious enough to go looking info my host's config... it's actually Apache! The FreeBSD must have been the last host I used before this one.

Andria
Apache is open-source Web Server software - can run on a multitude of platforms - and is the web server of choice. Most hosting providers use either FreeBSD or RHEL.

And I have a local php server running too. Can't do joomla without screwing around with php :)
Yeah, just go in and randomly change stuff in your php.ini file and let the fun commence!! :cry:
But I know what you mean: I was working PHP this morning for one of my sites (no Joomla) making some changes to mysql queries. It's always good when you haven't coded anything for a long time then have to remember the right syntax and structure to avoid having the query blow up. :gaah:

Hahahaha!!!!

Roxy I think you took all the good folks with you to VU....bless your heart....!
I think it is probably the QUALITY rather than the quantity. I see most folks who have come over, have this irritating commonality of GIVING a shit about each other.. Still plenty there that I'd like to see here..

I am gender-indiscriminate, as I believe that sloth and laziness are not to be monopolized. :blowkiss:
I love a good nap. Really, I do. Just wasn't going to happen today - too much on the schedule and agenda needing to be done.

Best of the best for the day was stepping on the scale and seeing that I had lost the 10 pounds I said I was going to lose, and within the time I had set. :bingo:
Now, another 10 pounds in the next month... :treadmill:
:cheers:

Moral of the story:
NEVER PISS OFF A PARROT!! :cuss:

They have LOTS of friends. :yes:

Yes, SJ told me, "You have a lot of friends."

Hell though, they pissed off people that didn't even like me much by deleting that thread, not giving me any chance to communicate, singling me out when other members not only did the same thing as me but did it several times, and making me a supplier anyway despite my wishes.

Thanks! :shades:
Was mortified when I weighed in last month and was at 260; that's the most I've ever weighed. "Going to lose ten pounds in a month." No plan, no diet - just changing eating habits around and some lifestyle changes. Half-mile walk during lunch, cut out the junk food and replaced with fruits, no late meals or snacking.

"It's not our mistakes that define us: it's how we deal with them that gives the world who we are when we are fallible."

Don't want to keep re-hashing this, but they screwed the pooch royally. "Fall on the sword, admit you messed up, make things right, learn from it and move forward." The mods over there have never learned that. Fucktards.

Well, it goes without saying, you guys are very welcome here, and we're glad you joined. This site has been a godsend to a lot of us. I've had a great time with you guys, though I felt like I was crashing your group, lol. Y'all are a lot of fun.

The hosting I've been using for about 5 yrs now is the fastest I've ever used; their MySQL servers are AMAZING -- when I first started running Joomla, I was appalled at how slowly most webhosts' MySQL servers are, but these... WHOOSH! Lightening fast, and NOT expensive.

Oh hell no, you aren't crashing :) I'm glad the mods and other members are joining us! I'm making new friends now, too.

What I always found really fun is how php and MySql are reversed in their line endings, where they want the semi-colon. :D

Andria

ETA: Err.. I misspoke... er typed... It was CSS I was thinking of, rather than php -- CSS wants a semi-colon at the very end of each line.

How bad can it be in a place where the Mods rub elbows with the riff-raff and rabble like us?? Glad to be part of the VU crowd now.

My experience is that Joomla is a PHP/MySQL whore. I rolled Joomla on my server and it works okay, but plain PHP code with MySQL rips much faster than Joomla. So whoever your hosting provider is, chops to them for getting it on good iron with optimized virtualization.

So often I've watched there, to see newcomers greeted by mods in Chode Mode (Talkin bout the DAWG!). You've been nothing but SUPERsweet, Huck. No Smarm! And we don't even have to be afraid of you. So, I mean this in the nicest possible way. GFY.

:inlove:

I can't remember those small numbers. Before I was 16 I think.
If you had pancreas problems you'd know what it's like trying to gain weight....almost impossible...thank god with a LOT of workouts, running, and eating what I can without it ripping my guts apart, it can only get better.

Been fighting with the pancreas going on ten years.....what a miserable life at times. Thank GOD was able to STOP smoking.....wow...!!!
