The rain season has been over for a little more than a week now. It’s been —>H.O.T.!!!<— ever since. Not quite the “Sahara desert certified” kind of hot, but the temperature has been steadily between 32 and 35 every single day since the rain stopped. I’m really looking forward September…
I went to another beach last weekend. Gwangali. I like it much more than Haeundae. I’ll post my pictures soon, I promise. I’m just too lazy to do it now and I’m working on other things at the moment.
Do you think I’ll finally get my LAMP working? If I had another hard drive, I’d set up a dual-boot machine with my extra operating system – or systems – on a hard drive other than the main one of my Mac mini. Ok, so I have *one* external drive at the moment, but it is my media drive. Therefore, if I mess it up, I lose all of my pictures, movies, important documents and software. I’ve used Parallels Desktop to create virtual machines to install additional operating systems, but Ubuntu Server Edition will not complete its reboot after installation. I tried twice and faced the same frustrating result in both cases. I’ve tried Fedora Core 5 and did not get far. Maybe I should buy an English PC keyboard so as to have a keyboard recognized by Fedora. Fedora Core 6 (test 2) is supposed to add support for Intel-based Macs, so hopefully I won’t face the same problems I did with FC 5. FC 6 is still in beta though, so it probably has problems of its own. Oh! Well… I guess it just goes to show that it is not easy to set up a server on your home computer when you’re not an expert in the field. I was really hoping Ubuntu would make it easy for me, but it seems I was wrong.
I expect stuff to just work and LAMP is making me seriously mad. Hasn’t anyone done a basic package that will just f*#king work?!? I’m losing it… I can’t stand defeat on that most important battlefield. I don’t give a damn that I’ll never be a good dancer, but I freaking need a web server that works!!!! I can’t give up now.
