A Weblog from Farrusko, Bruno and Lígia Rodrigues.
Our server has been running in a Mac mini PowerPC G4 1GHz. The machine hosts a Apache Webserver (including this blog running on PHP and on the Wordpress engine, as well as some other pages), the MySQL database, email services (Postfix [...]
Yes, it’s a “the best places to grill” map. Yes, the higher the number of sausages and fire, the better the region.
