Comment on Xampp and WordPress revisited by Philip

Hello David
I am so pleased to hear from you and that my compliment has helped encourage you to continue. I know how you feel. I have several sites and though I can see from stats that they are widely accessed and I know the information is widely used, I get very little reaction or acknowledgement That’s the way things are but it’s very nice to get the occasional feedback.
I actually missed your site as I wanted to set up another database offline but had forgotten how to do it. Now that your tutorial is back I can do it. Thanks!
Re hosting, I can’t recommend my own host here in Ireland
highly enough.

I’m not sure where you’re based, but they have great email support, and 25 add-on domains for the price of one! And no, I don’t have shares or commission ;>)

Keep up the good work. Much appreciated.
Philip

Hey Philip,
I found this article when checking to see what all had links to my website out of curiosity. I wanted to thank you very much for your kind words regarding my website and tutorials. My site was offline for a few months due to the fact I was self-hosting it and could no longer afford the internet bill. I’ve momentarily found free hosting, but it’s limiting and I hope to soon acquire better hosting and start re-developing the tutorials and updating them with newer versions.
I got a bit discouraged due to a lack of feedback and neglected the project for some time, but after reading articles like this and the feedback on my youtube videos, I’m going to try and invest a little time on a continuing basis and keep it going. It’s helped so many people and that was my goal to begin with.

So thank you for your encouragement.

Comment on My Samsung SCX-4200 MFP now working by Tamas Dobozy

Hi–

I’m having the same problem. Is there any way you could spell out your post a little more step-by-step? For instance, I go gksudo nautilus, and get a bunch of files in a window, but then what? I really need this printer/scanner to work.

Thanks,
Tamas Dobozy

Comment on DVD-drive won’t work after kernel update to 2.6.20-16 by Philip

Thanks for commenting – and for the compliment, Jason. Delighted this worked for you.
Linux Mint is intriguing but I’ve found Intrepid Ibex to be a gem, too. Maybe when I’ve more time on my hands I’ll try Mint for the fun of it.
Thanks for the tip about ubuntu unleashed. I’ve subscribed.

I use Linux Mint x64. I have been without a working dvd drive for 3 months. I have looked and looked. This worked for me! Btw I like your blog; I converted to linux after vista crashed on a my laptop and hard drive in the same week. I started with ubuntu but have found linux mint (based on ubuntu) and absolute gem.

ps ubuntu unleashed (blog) has some neat tricks.

Thanks a lot! I had exactly the same problem – 12GB which seemed to have vanished – and your post solved it perfectly.

Again, thanks a great deal! It’s great to liberate twelve gigabytes.
