Down on the Jersey shore today. Spent an enjoyable day doing some leisurely coding. I am now very close to realizing the one click web site setup idea. I load one webpage on my local machine and it asks for a a few pieces of information about the remote server (address, username, password,) and then it creates the directory structure, uploads all the php files, and sets up the database.

All I have left is to include an option to transfer the contents of the local database to the database on the remote server.

This way I can develop new sites on my local machine, and then when everything is ready, I can move the site to the remote (real) server with one click.

Not very difficult, but I am very happy that I have it set up this way. It is taking longer than I thought, but this will save a *lot* of time down the road.

Yeah, I think they must be leaving spam links, but since they are anonymous the links are getting stripped out. I'll try blocking IP addresses and see if that gets them. Might have to update our filters for that one.

I thought it was legit till one came in worded exactly the same. Yes, I was born yesterday.

I knew it wasn't legit but I'll pretty much take any praise.

Sort of the automated antidote to Sally's scold.

Yeah, maybe I should write a robot that does this to my page. "You're the best Jim!" "Way to go!"
