Why Digg Sucks. An example!

Today I’ve read 2 posts at TWM’s blog and Me, Myself and Delphi, that Delphi is listed in the 12 languages that never took off.
Delphi for sure is not a dead language. Coldfusion (also listed) isn’t dead neither. MySpace, for example, is written in ColdFusion.

I don’t care about the inaccuracy of post. I care about Digg and a shadow that became reality? The post is listed at Digg titled “Ghosts in the Machine: 12 Coding Languages That Never Took Off“. Taking a look at the digg story, there was about 166 comments and the majority of them was negative on the post, but the story had 641 diggs! This is insane. Checking out who blogged about that there was ONLY some robot-like or trash sites who blogged it!

It is difficult for my simple mind, to understand how a negative commented story has so many diggs. Digg does not count the buries? Of course not! I regretted my previous Digg usage. From now on it’s official blacklisted, unless they improve the service!

PS: I’ll digg this post. I’m curious to find out how a post titled “Digg Sucks” will perform!

WAMP5: Apache, PHP5, MySQL, PHPAdmin & SQLitemanager in one

WAMP5 installs automatically Apache 1.3.31 ,PHP5, MySQL database ,PHPmyadmin and SQLitemanager on your computer. It’s principal aim is to allow you to easily discover the new version oh PHP : PHP5. WAMP5 comes with a service manager installed as a tray icon. It allows you to manage WAMP5 and access all services.

WAMP5

When you install WAMP5, all the files are copied in the directory you choose. Conf files are then modified to point to that directory. It also installs a “www” directory which will be your Document Root. At the end of the installation, WAMP5 will automatically install Apache and MySQL as services.

WAMP5’s installation is compact. This means that all files are copied to WAMP5’s directory. Only the MySQL conf file (usually my.ini) is copied to the Windows directory but as “mywamp.ini” to avoid conflicts with other installs.
