I'm intalling a wiki on my Web server and had to get PHP working for MediaWiki. I've already got Perl (for this blog) and Java (for The Journalist). I wanted to see what the differences were between PHP and Perl--there don't appear to be any substantive ones. Both are robust scripting languages; both are said to have inelegant syntax bloat. Java (and C#) on the other hand are elegantly designed languages, yet seem to be reviled by Unix-heads.
The PHP entry states that [t]he PHP model can be seen as an alternative to Microsoft's ASP/VBScript/JScript system, Macromedia's ColdFusion system, Sun Microsystems' JSP/Java system, and to the CGI/Perl system.
Looks like I'm going to have to install ColdFusion next.

The art critic Robert Hughes [Wikipedia] discusses the impact of MOMA's first and most influential director, reigning from 1929 to 1967, Alfred Hamilton Barr. Robert Hughes wrote a review of American art called American Visions [Amazon] and hosted the PBS show of the same name (whose Web site is now "retired" and provides even more proof that I need to mirror these articles).
