Some of the software in FreeBSD‘s Ports provide a menu based interface to configure the package. For instance, when you’re trying to install the curl package by typing make in the ports directory, the install has an option to use GNUTLS which you can select.

I just received my Sony Ericsson K750c (c denotes an Asian model). It’s a pretty decent phone – apparently the best seller of the company last year. I decided to buy this model instead of a newer model because it uses regular memory stick duo (and pro duo) as opposed to the micro version that came out more recently. I thought it would be a cheaper to get a decent sized stick for this model and I was right. I just ordered a 2gig Sony one with MagicGate (I’m not mentioning because I’ll use this, but to make price comparison easier) for around $70 from overstock.com. There’s also better support for it on both Windows and Linux because of the relative maturity of the phone.

I have two blogs. One is in Turkish Safsata.org, the other is this one, which as you might have guessed already, is in English. I wanted to find an easy way to maintain both blogs and keep up with updates and security fixes. Running two seperate complete installs would mean twice the effort so I decided to try and see if two domains can be run from one directory of source (that is, php source mostly) files.
There’s already good documentation about a similar situation I found online. If it suits your needs, you should use that more complete solution.
