ARGH! I'M HUNGRY BUT TO LAZY TO MAKE ANYTHING!

@derps So you wasted it all on the android, right? Ask your parents to cook something or poptarts, without toasting them.

@miloth Okay, back, I made some french toast. hunger beat laziness. Also: My optimus was only $160. I get $20 a month.

@derps I don't know if you know anything about wikia, but I have a personal web server running off of a home-style connection to the internet. It is slow, but I have it set up with the same software used by the Wikipedia. It is an Apache server with mod_php and MySQL. I experiment with the CGI at fnordly.dyndns.org. Wiki (the markup language) is easy to learn. Just click on "Edit" at the top of the page and learn by example. Everything2.com is very similar and vastly superior, but I haven't even started trying to follow the Perl Monks, yet. Anyway, anypony is free to hook me up with some texts and uploads and new users and requests for fixes et al. at Fnordly.dyndns.org/wiki the plain, vanilla Wiki.

@fnordly MediaWiki is absolute overkill. It was designed specifically to run Wikipedia and giant sites like that.
-
@starshine Yeah, but experimenting with CGI is time consuming. With Mediawiki, you can just drop it in and build around it. For instance, I have intense disdain for MySQL or any separate database system. I think that the whole server should be an extension for Python and that the database should be a few gzipped text files and dictionaries and lists and other Python code.
-
@fnordly in that case, go get MoinMoin.
-
@starshine I think that you are right, but unless that was actually a request for my hosting the service for you, I am going to try to reinvent the wheel before I just roll with it.
-
@fnordly Well, whatever. MoinMoin is probably exactly what you want, but I'll let you make some square wheels first. (I should know. I went down that exact route. I'm running MoinMoin now.)
