Measureable Progress

On my home machine I've managed to install, configure, and generally get running all libraries that my chosen web-development framework uses. Some dependencies were rather obscure, a few required compilation from source, and one gave me a configuration headache that took two days to solve. Well that's two days at two hours at a time. So realistically it was half a day's worth of work lost simply because I misunderstood the nuances of configuring an Apache webserver which uses named virtual hosts. There is one other problem that I still have to solve, basically how to create a stand alone start and stop script so that a Lisp program can run in the back ground as a service. That should not be overly difficult since my chosen Lisp implementation, SBCL, has truly excellent technical documentation.

A happy day.
