Welcome back I am now going to talk about the way that MAMP handles serving up files through Apache2. By default you install MAMP into the Applications directory on Mac OSX in a folder and the default path to the folder that is being served by Apache is /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/ .

A very useful way to setup a web development environment is an all-in-one solution that includes a web server, a database, server-side scripting support. I am running MacOSX and needed a solution like this and I have come across a great project called MAMP.I haven’t previously mentioned my environment for web design on my laptop but I have been happily using this all-in-one testing solution for all my web development.

So I have been learning all I can learn about the web design/development world, and I have a healthy appetite for technology, and I was totally intrigued by Drupal. So I diligently looked up a howTo online for Ubuntu and web server stuffs and came across The Perfect Setup - Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Server (Dapper Drake) and I was in my glory. I thought wow I have it all right here.

Hi all my name is Robbie, and I am known online as RobbieTheGeek, have many spots I can bee found online and that is my handle. So here is the reason for a new blog, I decided I would give WordPress a try and to use and abuse it.

I have been away from my blogs for a bit and doing lots and lots of work. The 9-5 job has been very busy, and the side-gigs are busy but learning has really held my attention more then anything else. The Triad of learning at this time is, books, blogs and podcasts.Well here it is I have really started throwing all of my free time into Web Design. Reading, applying what I am reading, read some more, rinse and repeat. Thank god for the books from the masters, the web for tutorials, articles, and blogs. I have received years worth of training for very little money.

Welcome back folks, since my previous blog posting I have been rather busy with tracking down solid applications to replace my freebies of choice from the Windows XP enviornment.

Hi folks and welcome to the first ever Geek Vs. Mac blog...

Well, I took the plunge and joined the Cult of Mac this weekend.

Yesterday afternoon I was able to attend the Senior Showcase for my wife and our great friend Jon. I am totally impressed by their commitment and dedication. I am so proud of Natalie she has set goals for herself by the showcase and reached them. The scenes were all very good, and I was so happy to get to see Jon and Natalie perform the infamous "37 dicks" scene from Keven Smith's Clerks.
