How on earth did this happen?
Direction
Just a quick post to set my future intentions, as you may have guessed by the title of this site I intend to create a focus for Systems Administration at this blog.
I’m still not quite sure what I intend to make of this exactly, with a field as wide as Systems Administration it can be quite hard to get focused on one particular area, and quite frankly I don’t consider Systems Administration (that’s going to take too much to type so it will be sysadmin from now on, grammar Nazi’s be warned) specialized field. That is to say it is a combination of a number of other fields.
I will stop this post here, least I risk rambling about what a sysadmin is and what one is not.
Enjoy.
Simple WAMP Server
A while ago I posted about Uniform Server, which is a great portable web server. Since then I have also found XAMPP which is a fantastic “Standalone” web-server that runs in windows, has everything you could want including installation as services so you can use a box whilst not logged in as a platform, incredibly useful and you can find it in the links on the right.

Thanks to Jemmie for this one!

Portable WAMP Server
I recently found a very nifty program called “Uniform Server” which is essentially a standalone implementation of a WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP) server (standard web development technologies).
It is very useful if you don’t have a dedicated local web server to utilise and can be ran from any disk device including USB flash based devices. Also comes with a number of well used tools such as phpMyAdmin.
Defiantly worth checking out, just hit the “Uniform Server” link on the right.
