From what I understood (I applied online... |

| Hi, I'd like to give it a try as I'm on the learning curve for PHP as well. Don't hesitate to ask your questions. You surely know this already, but Drupal is not PHP, it is a way of using it, based on a concept called "nodes". Other CMS use their own concepts (or not). AFAK, PHP is a great web langu... |

I listen to Steve Reich a lot, John Zorn, Brian Eno, Philipp Glass, Kronos Quartet, Malher, Satie... In the morning I sometimes cheer me up with some punk/rock/fusion tracks (Dinosa... |

| Back to the topic/poll, I did install a Linux Mandrake once (french company distro). Because of the lack of support for drivers (that was back in 2000 I guess), I didn't go far. Then in 2004 I met a sysadmin IRL who praised Debian so well that I had a go at Woody. Now I would like to go all over and... |

It is as subtile as looking carefully two people walking : no one walks the same, even in the army (the rythm is the only common criteria). The way you write can be utterly original, although not liked by review... |

I agree. Kids are inspiring in that they don't give up something just on its idea : they give it a try, at least.
Grown-up people are more and more often giving up on anything before actually doing something. |
