As a programmer, servers and server people sometimes get under my skin. A while back Dreamhost, my host, changed the way they do php includes, so now instead of something like lepslair/header.php I need to do ./header.php, which is fine and all because I never really did outside includes. But years later, as I am coming into more programming, and wanting to do somethings where I need to bring in things cfrom other sites, I see how I am limited in doing what I want to do.
The same thing goes for the sites I work on. Sometimes the server people don’t feel like installing perl modules, so I need to wait until they get around to it. I just love the ones who don’t understand what I want, or the ones who I ask to install something and they don’t even know what module I am referring to.
I guess sometimes programmers and server masters are just natural enemies
