PHP, Programming etc

I have tried several half attempts at installing php and mysql onto my server and gave up, I havn't got anywhere web design or php wise. I keep setting myself projects to get this done, and to create a website, but then I keep giving up.Anyway my friend from about five years back (Jensen) who used to make php websites for my comic management pointed me in the direction of an application called XAMPP which does the whole php, mysql thingy really easily. For now I just have it on my desktop computer to learn some php. Once I have some stuff to put up I will probably install it on the server.

Anyway, I think it is working:Not actually tried it out yet, but I thought I would post something since it has been a while. I have been away for three weeks visiting family (instead of the originally planned one or two weeks). Although I got a lot of designs and stuff done I didn't have access to a computer and so didn't get anything done in any projects I was hoping to achieve. Anyway, my newly revised aims for the rest of the summer are to:1/ learn php and get some basic websites made using the language2/ Design a simple, but polished room in Maya3/ Create an interactive comic/gameI have also added a plug in for Firefox called ScribeFire which allows you to post directly to your blog from your web browser. I haven't tried posting yet, but if this blog posts successfully then I would definitely recommend it.
