There's another tool (might be webapp-config) which manages Apache |
36 |
add-ins, including dokuwiki. |
37 |
|
38 |
I set it up manually last time, but I need to see whether this will set |
39 |
it up for me this time round. |

But at the moment, my computing focus is on (at work) learning to be a |
42 |
power-user/developer in Excel, and at home I'm working on a database |
43 |
called ScarletDME - that's DME as in Data Management Environment I think. |
44 |
|
45 |
It's (finally) an Open Source Pick database. Think back to "the database |
46 |
is the computer" so it's much more than a relational database, and its |
47 |
data-model is a superset of relational. |
48 |
|
49 |
Only snag is, relational (like Pascal) tries to force you to "do the |
50 |
right thing", and as I'm finding out that's easier said than done. Pick |
51 |
(like C) just gives you all the rope you need to hang yourself with ! ;-) |
52 |

If anybody likes the sound of it, feel free to download and play! |

There's a ScarletDME google group, you'll be very welcome. Just be |
55 |
warned, despite being based on a very successful commercial product |
56 |
(OpenQM), the basic thing is very much text based, and I get the |
57 |
impression that ScarletDME is a bit raw round the edges at the moment. |
58 |
Your typical user lives in the command line and has never heard of |
59 |
database connectivity, despite it being both feasible, and easy. |

Hope to see people there! |
