No more IIS?

In keeping with the desire to run free (read: not be tied down to a particular technology or implementation) I recently decided that being forced to run IIS5 on Windows 2000 Server was anything but a Good Thing(tm).

I don’t see why Win2K users can’t be privy to the potential goodness that comes with IIS6+.

So, IIS be gone.

Apache, come hither!

Yes, I’m running Apache on this here server, and while IIS5 is still toiling away, it’s only to serve the Piper’s Pages website by way of a reverse proxy.  Almost immediately after installing Apache, WordPress breathed a sigh and relief and showed its appreciation by enabling config-free permalinks and working plugins.

The sweet smell of freedom, indeed!

Save the cheerleader? Or, cheerleader saves?

I have no idea where Hereos is going with the Claire character. As it stands now she’s not doing anything particularly “heroic”.

Now, I do recall an earlier episode where HRG was gruesomly shot through the eye and subsequently died – only to be saved by some concoction involving Claire’s blood. Sooooo… why isn’t she out there saving the masses with her bro and good ole, home-grown Clairelixer?

Seems so obvious and yet here we are watching Claire’s painful interaction with an awkward college chick of questionable motives, versus something truly worthy of the series title.

What a waste.
