Slashcode

I finally finished up this thing at work today that had been staring me down like one of Roy's white tigers for a two weeks. I hope to have time this weekend to install slashcode modules.

I didn't get any time last night to play around with installing slashcode. Maybe tomorrow. I did watch the funniest nature show featuring John Cleese and Lemurs. Funny funny.

Much to my wife's dismay, I spent several hours last night trying to install all of the perl modules necessary to install slashcode. I even compiled my own Apache and mod_perl. I'd rather have an auto updating RPM for Apache but there are advantages to compiling my own too. For some reason, I can't install DBD::mysql. It doesn't give much in the way of errors besides errors like "Cannot stat file such-and-such". I'm seriously considering tonight installing DBD::postgresql and running with Postgresql. That would be my preference, anyway. Slashcode.cod says that postgres support is only alpha but if they use Perl DBI for everything, it shouldn't matter what database I use, right?

I've decided to go with slash as the software for my site http://GatheredTogether.org

This is my first and possibly last test of this cool journal thing.
