[11:47 pm] Workarounds

Got tired of the useless display that PuTTY gave me (black screen w/font colours that were almost unreadable). Tried to change it but - surprise! It doesn't save changes on Windows. Forget it -- I'm not changing my OS just now.

Thought about editing on my local machine and FTP'ing to test things. Too many chances to screw up this way I have learned many times in other situations.

So... I installed Apache and PHP and got them happy on Windows 98 instead. Took me ALL DAY, but partly because I woke up feeling rather ill and not thinking too well. Not even eating much.

I was determined to get things ready for more serious work asap and stuck with it tonight. You know - so near, yet so far - and I didn't want to lose my stack pointer.

Made an appointment for my 15 year old Jeep to get the mandatory emissions testing done tomorrow morning. She passed with flying colours 2 years ago... hoping that's the case this time around, too.
