Visiting nurses (4) Jun 12, 2006
There's a sign on Route 10 in Ledgewood (actually there's one on each side of the road) near Towne Toyota and Cliff's Dairy Maid that says something so cryptic and misleading, I (and Wendy) can't for the life of me figure out what it means.  The picture below states, "Insist on visiting nurses in their 90s."  It shows a picture of a woman in her 30s-40s with a green band around her neck (signifying that she's a visiting nurse) visiting an elderly woman (supposedly in her 90s).  Does it mean I should "insist on visiting nurses [who are] in their 90s"?  Or does it mean that "[People who are in their 90s should] insist on visiting nurses"?  Whatever it means, the people in the organization sure spent a lot of money advertising a message that doesn't make sense.  I'm so confused by this sign, I sent an email to the organization.  I'll post the reply if I get one.

PHP-CGI vs. PHP-Apache (2) Jun 12, 2006
This is a new topic for me, and it's slightly above my current level of understanding.  But despite that, I'll try to throw some information out there. 

Some web hosts have the option of executing PHP as CGI or executing it as an Apache module.  DreamHost has PHP-CGI enabled by default.  Despite this being "more secure", it causes some pretty major problems.  The biggest problem is that scripts keep making calls to something called "/dh/cgi-system/php.cgi".  I don't know what that is, but I know it's been mentioned on forums for WordPress, Zenphoto, Drupal, and many others.  And I've experienced this same problem when I've tried to install and setup several PHP scripts. 

I know how to "fix" it:  In the DreamHost control panel, go to Manage Domains, and edit the domain in question.  Change the PHP version from 4.4.2 to 5.1.2 (these values will probably change as DreamHost upgrades to newer versions).  As this WordPress support page says, DreamHost runs PHP 4 as CGI and PHP 5 as an Apache module.  For whatever reason, PHP running as CGI makes certain things not work.  And all I know is that running PHP as Apache makes everything work like it used to. #technology
