Happy business campers! It’s the middle of the night and I’m in a big hallroom full of people all of them hacking on their computers. The event is called 24 hours Business Camp and the goal is to bring 90 entrepreneurial people together and have them build a service in 24 hours. There are 52 […]

Sigh. Things are never as easy as you want them to be. 🙂 I have two computers on my desk. My MacBook and my Asus EEE B202 running Windows XP. I wanted a development environment for Drupal (a php content management framework), so I tried running PHP on my MacBook. It worked fine, but the […]
