Without a doubt, Doogle has got to be the best example of Irish creativity after a lengthy spell at the pub. Absolutely awesome.

Thanks to our friend Jason for the pointer.

This has to be the best subject line I’ve seen in a long time. Not only is it not deceptive (the email was about the same thing), but it certainly gives the impression of how easy it is to earn money using this system:

“Even my idiot Cousin makes $2000/month from this business”

I haven’t done full time web development since I worked for Wired magazine in the 1990s, but both at jobs and at home I’ve been doing it here and there since. A little PHP here, a little Perl there. A little MySQL here, a littel PostgreSQL there. A little Apache here, a little Boa there.

The other week I discovered a new arnonym: “LAMP.” I’ve seen references to LAMP developement before but I guess I’m just so out of it I had no idea what it meant. I snuffed it off as some proprietary alternative to, um, well, LAMP. In case you are like me, it means: Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. I found one place that says the “P” stands for PHP/Perl/Python. I’ve been doing this for years! I must be too engrossed in my work or something.

Pretty much everyone who reads this blog would like this site. I know a few off the top of my head…who knows, some of you might be getting this stuff for your birthday!

My mother pointed out how much she likes the USB Christmas tree. I personally think the USB Aquarium is pretty fun.
