Out of sheer boredom and lack of those handy frozen iced tea concentrates, I just made my own iced tea (following this recipe). The results were... rather mixed...

I guess it shows that I'm an iced tea fiend that I would go to such lengths to have my delicious drink of choice. It's really too bad I didn't have any lemons or other flavouring because I have to say... this stuff is rather bitter, and adding sugar only made it taste like... sugar. Oh well, I'll chalk this one up to experience. Next time I'm shopping I'm getting some lemons :)

Also: I'm aware that I write about as well as a 6 year old.

Update: Tastes much better with lemon squeezed into it!

I setup Lighttpd 1.4.18 with FastCGI support for PHP on my development server last night just to see if it's gotten any better since I last tried it. So far so good, at least setup and install went much better this time. Ubuntu has had Lighttpd in the repos since Dapper (although only Gutsy and Hardy are up to date.) Setting up FastCGI was easy this time around, I didn't get any server errors at all, although it's possible I only owe this to better understanding of the documentation. Just for kicks, I also installed eAccelerator, which is a PHP op-code cache that I've been using on my primary server for a few months along with some other performance tweaks (mostly various types of caching.)
