Installing the LAMP environment on a Linux system is easy if you are comfortable with using the native package management software. If you on a Red Hat/Fedora/CentOS system, that will be yum – and for Debian/Ubuntu systems, that will be apt. This tutorial shows you how to install Apache 2, PHP 5 and MySQL 5 in Debian using apt.

My take on the recent ‘10 Principles of the PHP Masters‘ article. Bottom line – go read it – and decide which advices are good for you.

Nexty is an easy to use To Do list manager created using GTD principles. The core idea behind this software is simplicity. I wanted to make a GTD tool that is the most easy to use. So far, I have released this two times – first when Nexty was created – and then when it was available as a online service. Now, I am giving Nexty its own domain.

Of course, Nexty code is available as well – you can download and install it locally if [...]

I have released Nexty 1.01.A. If you are a user of Nexty, I will recommend that you switch to the new version.

I created an RSS aggregater for my site BinnyVA.com that aggregates the content from all my sites. The basic idea is to build a Seinfeld Calendar that will force me to continually publish posts – at least 1 per day.
It is very simple to create – whole system is contained in the following files…
fetcher.php
This will [...]

I made some more updates to nexty. Still not packaged – give me a little more time. In the meantime, try out the demo…
There is one really cool feature in this release – but it is for Linux Users only. I made a command line script that integrates with Nexty – you can add tasks [...]
