So DNN blogs work moderately well - I'm still hung up on the seperation between summary and blog - I looked around for a wordpress installation to test and found one at my ihostasp.net account - along with dasblag and a gazillion other apps to fiddle about with. It seems the ihostasp.net account is a great deal for $8.95 a month. Multiple domains and sub domains - easy to use control panel and dot net nuke installed while you wait.
DNN is not bad JUst have to wrap my mind around this goofy fckeditor - that's two days of work in itself and I'm reluctant to put things on hold for that. We'll see -
Meanwhile John is working his way through the VPN server on Ubuntu - A few weeks ago I prepared to configure Bigdaddy, My Toshiba portable dual boot ubuntu and xp pro. John suggested that I try the vmware player and ubintu application. Man was i ever happy with that hook up. In a few hours, much of which was spent waitng for downloads, I had a fully functional linux system along with lamp, vi, ed, grep, samba,- I mean all the goodies. That was a goood night. And it got better when I popped up a terminal session and reacquainted myself with the shell commands.
With so many good vibes floating around I had a linux to the rescue moment. One of my clients is running a win2k3 server. I set up a vpn connection to the box but it has proven unstable. So I thought - how abount letting a tiny vmware linux vpn application run the vpn for us. Well that may or may not be suh a great idea John is fighting his way through it. If anyone has any insight step right up weigh in.
