Airman Knowledge test prep from the FAA.
Baby steps
Progress on the new server; I can now start and stop Apache as desired with php5 in place. MySQL is next up. Unfortunately I still need to think through how to set the new server up to do proper testing on the extant content, but, hey, get the basics laid in first, right?

Sync iCal <-> Google Calendar
Sync iCal with Google Calendar and see Google contacts. Java. Oh, I hope it works.
Server build time again
Switching… � ISP in a box v2, posted apparently last spring. Uncertain how well this would apply to OS X 10.4. Still looks like a well-wasted weekend.
