Frontpage Slideshow for Drupal

I have begun coding a module to allow the Frontpage Slideshow to be displayed within a block or a panel.
Frontpage slideshow is a script by Joomlaworks.

Set up your PC as a test environment using Apache, PHP and MySQL

You can approach the set up of a test environment in 2 seperate ways. You can manually set up Apache/IIS, PHP and MySQL seperately then configure them to work together or you can use a package such as WAMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP) or XAMPP (Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl).

Fifa 2008 – The woes continue

As well as the previous problems with Fifa 2008, the game continues to piss me off as I try to play it a bit more.

I tried, and that’s that.  The game is not accurate at all and is inconsistent to say the least. The game seems to randomly decide whether players run through each [...]
