Tried out the PHP test on my server and it worked. Not sure it was going last night, it seems to have magically fixed itself. I still want a server based RSS aggregator and PHP is a good bet, and there is lots of PHP code out there, but do I want to mess with another noddy scripting language? Apache plus PHP is probably as powerful and secure as it gets. I really want to be able to submit changes to my DayNotez entries made at home or work to my home server which could then publish them on a proper web-based server. I can always dream.

Radio UserLand looks interesting but I'd have to buy two copies, one for home and one for work, and I'm too mean. My server at home is always up, at great expense, and it runs linux. Unless Radio Userland runs smoothly under Wine with no GUI I am not interested (a quick search reveals it does with GUI but I think the mean argument will swing this).

Installed new process explorer from..

Installed new process explorer from www.sysinternals.com. It has an option to replace the Task Manager which I have enabled. I also installed the Debugging Tools for Windows which allows procexplorer to give symbols in it's stack dumps. It is much more powerful than Task Manager. For example, why do I have a BlueTooth COM server running 16 threads and consuming 3M of memory and doing nothing for me? Process Explorer crashed once but I'll forgive it that for now.
