PHP CMS Historical Notes
Wednesday, June 28th, 2006
I was just browsing through my OLD advogato profile and thought I would link to these two posts (from mid 2002) which talk about one of the many CMSs which forked off the original PHPNuke code base.
Entry 1
Entry 2
More thoughts on PHPNuke

Thursday, June 15th, 2006
Before I start, I want to thank Stella and the kids for standing by me during this trying time, my mother-in-law for her help and letting me use her setup. Mom and Dad for not worrying when I’m not online. Web.de for providing the list of the cheapest places to get onto the information […]
