Where To Host
Jan 18th
I’ve been pushing forward on a personal project over the last two weeks or so, it’s called WhereToHost and I think it’s brillant. If you’ve heard me talk about it, you already know this, but what you may not know is that the initial beta system is ALMOST ready! I need some help though, would you mind?
Lots of my readers here are webmasters and programmers, you’ve encountered many different systems, scripts, and apps that you like working with. So here is what I need to know and how you can help me….
What PHP apps are your favorites? What scripts are so important that, you believe, this new site of mine wouldn’t be complete without?
Let me know in the comments and I’ll add the systems as they come in! Oh and if you get a chance you should read about my somwhat difficult choice, over on the news blog to the new site.
Love My Job

I got off work at around 11:10 tonight and I left feeling satisfied and happy. I love this job!
That is all. =D
Laconica Updating Quickly!
Jan 9th
I had just updated the install software for laconica the other day to match their current version. It looks like another minor update has already been released. The installer has been setup to match.
Rapid development, gotta love it!
Laconica Web Based Installer Updated
Jan 8th
I realized I hadn’t checked in on Laconica for awhile now, so I went ahead and updated the installer to make sure it was grabbing the latest and greatest version of the software. I tested it over on http://laconica.gimmesoda.com/

Laconica Web Based Installer – Updated
I also realized I never gave instructions for the installer. Here is the super quick rundown:
1) Upload the install.php and the installer folder to the location you want to install laconica. BUG NOTICE: For people who try to install into directories instead of the root folder, sorry it currently doesn’t work, I’ve already fixed this in the latest version of the GimmeSoda installer class but I haven’t pushed it into the laconica installer yet.
2) Access the install.php page
3a) Name your laconica install
3b) Put in the instal’s URL without the http! (ex: laconica.gimmesoda.com)
3c) Leave the directory blank since this isn’t working properly yet. (I’ll push the fix out real soon I promise!)
4) Fill in the mysql information for this install.
5) Click the test requirements button, if your install requirements pass then the system will automatically attempt to download and install laconica.
6) ENJOY!
I’ve gotten reports that this installer works on BlueHost and a few VPS setups as well as DreamHost. Let me know if you run into trouble or have any successful install!
