I'm making a concerted effort to eliminate the need for having PHP and MySQL installed on this server (which is running again, if you hadn't noticed). As soon as I can figure out how to hack the Wordpress import script to import from one database (MySQL) and export to a different one (PostgreSQL), I'll issue the final "emerge -C" command.
In other news, I've followed some great instructions and mastered the Rubik's cube, I've finished the last Harry Potter book, and I'm sad that four of my favorite friends are moving away.
