Windows Server 2008 includes IIS with native [Php] support.

If you are a pre-IIS 6.0 user (less than or equal to Windows XP), [IndigoPerl] comes with a free - bundled Apache Php server.

It's been about a year since I last actively developed with [MySQL]. MySQL 5.0 is now a stable release. On the download page there is now options for [community server] or [enterprise server]. The [MySQL GUI Tools] are now all bundled together. The install wizard is now invoked automatically creating a "root" admin user.

It turns out the warranty expired on my XBOX 360, which needs repairs. I'll have to telephone customer service, since [requesting repairs via the web] doesn't seem to work.

The WN121T causes many blue screens of death on Vista. A new driver was released that may fix some of the issues. [WN121T Support Page]

The problem with this latest driver is that if you remote desktop to the machine using Vista then the network connection abruptly disconnects if Netgear manages your wireless connections. Everything works correctly if you let Vista manage the wireless connections.

Unfortunately, while playing Halo 3 tonight, the game froze. When I reset the 360, I got [three red lights]. I emailed support and should be receiving my [XBOX 360 coffin] any day now.

I plugged in the Power-On-Self-Test card into my ASUS P5N-E SLI motherboard with yielded error code 7F. I'll have to find the correct set of post codes for the [Award Bios]. This says that errors are displayed and its waiting for a key press. That seems correct, because as soon as I press a key the post codes continue to cycle. The pattern of post codes are: FF A0 1d C1 FF A0 C1 FF A0 11 C0 C1 FF A0 C0 A0 C0 C1 FF A0 C1 FF A0 1d C1 FF A0 C1 C3 2d 50 52 080 75 86 80 FF 80... stop.

I was refreshing my mind on C++ template classes and defines today when I thought of a nice optimization if it could be possible.

I want to use a #define to add a set of dynamic properties and methods to a class. For example: the macro would add a World property, a GetWorld method, and a SetWorld method. The tricky part is the "World" part of the names would be dynamic.

And it works beautifully. Check out the details in the post.
