Posted by Phillip in : work , add a comment

Finally finished my Q3 Goals for work. Looking forward to a little R&R. I have a week off of work and I plan on keeping my habitual email-checking to a minimum and I don’t really plan on answering the phone. Unless Darrell calls, I may answer for him.

Anyway, I am really looking forward to getting some things done around the house. Here is what I had in mind:

  • Install the ceiling fan in mah office
  • Clean up the garage
  • Clean my carpets
  • Look into that school thingy again

    • I am sure there are more. I just can’t remember them.

    So this is my first post in my shiny, new wp blog. I will be tinkering around with the theme over the next couple days and hopefully I will find one with which I can settle down. Overall, I am quite impressed with the efficiency of the wordpress installer. I am running gentoo (which I sorely want to replace with debian, but don’t tell mike) but the install was pretty painless.


    # emerge sync
    # emerge wordpress -v
    # www htdocs # mysql -u root -p
    Enter password:
    Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
    Your MySQL connection id is 3919 to server version: 4.0.22
    Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
    mysql> CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
    Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
    mysql> \q
    # chown -R apache.apache /var/www/localhost/htdocs/wordpress

    Then just point your favorite web browser to the blog address and wp will do the rest.

    PAINLESS!
