More PC Stuff

I’ve spent the last few days restoring my computer to a state similar to how it was before reinstalling Windows XP last weekend. I can’t quite believe it’s taken me so long, it seems I had more installed than I seemed to think.

Today I managed to get my local server back up once again, this time running Apache 2, and PHP 5 as opposed to Apache 1.3 and PHP 4 which I had previously. Additionally, I’ve installed an SMTP server on localhost too which makes testing certain mail related scripts a lot easier. ;)

I’ve still got a few things left to install, including Microsoft Office, but those things can wait a little longer I think. I’m hoping to be able to play with the new version of Sibelius soon too, which I ordered not too long ago. The new version looks to have some interesting new features.

So, back to installing things for now. Maybe I’ll have a slightly more interesting post soon… :P
