Macports and Freetype

for those, who are installing Apache, PHP, MySQL and the other things using macports, I got a good news.

I installed Apache2, PHP, MySQL and other using MacPorts on my Mac, just to have a local development system for my fav CMS (TYPO3). But it wasn’t as easy as I expected. The image manipulation function from TYPO3 uses imagettftext(). This function needs freetype to be installed.

Moving WP?

I bought this SOHO NAS and it has webserver, SQL database, iTunes server, etc. With help from DynDNS.org, I can access this small box from everywhere around the world [1]. I tried to running TYPO3 on it, but it can’t… too slow and TYPO3 can’t find ImageMagick on it. So it’s useless to run TYPO3 without ImageMagick.

I’m back

whoaaa. it’s been almost a half year since my post. I just didn’t have time (and also internet access at home)

But there’re lots happened since my last post.

1. I’m a student once more ( Industrial engineering and management) and in my second semester.
2. I’m using a Mac now got a Macbook Pro. Although it’s not the new one with multitouch pad, but i’m pretty existed using mac.
3. Direct mail’s development is stalled. for a moment… I don’t have time to do some bug fixing. But I’m trying to create a new mailing engine (maybe based on phpmailer, since I think it’s mature enough)
4. and I think I’m coming home in September.
