Well I switched the host to a PHP 5 server but the site still remains on the old one for now. I will begin developing it at elmwoodstrip.org and then make the official switch and some point next month. I was looking to run a test server on my laptop and I am so sick of upgrading apache and perl, and php, and mysql. I found this great package by a group at Sourceforge that has it all. The package is called webserv and offer you AWSTATS, perl, php 5.0.2 , mysql 4, and phpmyadmin, and apache 2 all in one easy windows XP installer. It is the perfect accessory for any web developer using the XP platform.

Sorry if the tone was confusing, I kind of wrote it just to excite you which was mean but fun.

I really have no interest in ever meeting you nor discussing the issues as I really don't care about you or what you think. If you notice my link list is full of computer and programming links not political reading lists. I would rather continue to spend my time doing the 100,000 other productive things I do, as I am so past the point of ever having to reaffirm my beliefs by debating the with people such as yourself.

I would never bother making a conservative friend at this point in my life when there is a whole neighborhood of "shitrag" readers right outside my door which I most often do not have to debate with. I don't even have time to hang out with the friends I like.

As I said before, I don't want to talk about it anymore. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of asking questions in my previous entry and in this one there are none. I am now officially disengaging this conversation and beginning to port the site code to PHP 5 followed by the wedding of (e:trisha) and (e:paulnotpaul) . Ironically, your presense makes a great statistic for my thesis. So thanks.

SIDENOTE - I just read your response to (e:matthew) and I would like to say he would for sure say that to your face. He is not never a coward nor softspoken. He stands frimly behind his belief that all conservative that label themselves as "republicans" are evil. If you guys had this conversation over some drinks, he would probably punch you, seriously. In all actuality, the pen/cursor provides you with a nice filter to his anger because he can be one angry man when people make him mad. Especially, when it comes to politics and religion.

I put in another review of the falafel bar with pictures on the restaurant site. I encourage any of you to write some reveiws or post some feedback here about what would make the restaurant site more useful.

I am going to only talk about this one time because I am busy. [inlink]jason,12[/inlink]

1. I can't understand why you live here. There are plenty of conservative neighborhoods that you could live in and feel at home. Why would you live in a little liberal village and then bitch about it? You will never channge the neighborhood's liberal slant, especially during a time when the conservative government's agenda has created such havok and death.

2. Why bother complaining about the local news liberal slant when you can turn on fox news and be satisfied with a conservative agenda 24/7.

3. I am also going to reiterate what (e:rachel) in a more direct way. We can never really settle on these issues. On many issues we are talking about complete binary opposites. These issues include war, gay marriage, tax cuts for the rich, reduction of social services, privatization, increased defense spending, religion involvement with the state and many more. There is no maybe in these. It's pretty much for or against.

4. Most importantly, you said in a previous journal you didn't want to talk about politics because you has been ostracized from other groups for it. Now you are talking about politics and still haven't even laid out what you stand for. That really leaves you in an awkward place. By avoiding actual issues and and not specifying your standpoint most people assume you don't even know what you believe in and that you are perhaps an idiot (fox-sheep) that follows the bush agenda. If I were you I would either drop the subject all togther and stop saying things like "local shit rags" or specify your beliefs so that other peeps people can rip you apart on a more informed level.

I remember (e:holly) and I talking about student plagarism once and how she had this "machine" at work that could seak out plagarism. Well here it is on the net . I noticed them while they were visiting our site for content. It kind of irritates me that they are sellling services based on our text.

What they do:
We prevent and detect plagiarism by comparing submitted papers to billions of pages of content located on the Internet and our proprietary databases. The results of our comparisons are compiled, one for each paper submitted, in custom "Originality Reports." These reports are sent to participating educators, who access the results by logging into their Turnitin account(s).
