I noted with some interest Douglass Karr’s post on Twitter as a search engine last month. I don’t have enough contacts to receive the benefits he describes, but I found another raison d’etre for Twitter this morning. While drinking coffee and contemplating the best use of the hour before my kids awake, Something gently picked up my apartment and shook it. There was a rattle of dishes, and I could see my refrigerator wobbling to and fro. My 8 year old was roused from her bed by the shaking and of course wanted an explanation.
Installing Typo Blog Engine and mod_rails for Multiple Accounts

The following instructions work for Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy gibbon), and I’m assuming some level of familiarity with Ubuntu and/or Debian. Same ideas should apply elsewhere though (YMMV). If I’ve glossed over too much, leave a comment and I’ll try to clarify.
