Re: lazy people

the lazy people could hire me or someone like me. I do admin a PHP system, I just grumble a lot.

Re: lazy people

[wibbble]

The PHP code I write runs on my own machine, so if there's security holes that're exploited it's only going to piss off three people: Me, my wife (her websites and email are hosted off of this machine), and a friend who has a photo gallery hosted on this machine.

Yes, I've abused my poor Mac OS X workstation into taking on web and email server roles, too.

I don't do this for a living, of course, since if I did I'd be a whole lot better at it. ;o)
