UwAmp - Wamp Server with Apache MySQL PHP and SQLite

For a small project I need to have a WAMP (which is a LAMP solution for my WinXP). So I took a quick look on wikipedia Wamp comparison table.

But since I reinstalled recently my pc and I used until now xammp I wanted to see if there was another easier solution and I found UwAmp

It is so small and easy to use that it is frightening.

Without installation : UwAmp is available as a Zip archive, just unpack it and you can run the server. UwAmp doesn't install files in the system to keep it clean. Easy interface : UwAmp is provided with a management interface that lets you start or stop the server with one click. Multi PHP Version : Change PHP version in one click to test compatibility. CPU Monitoring : Real time Apache and MySQL process CPU monitoring. U3 Mode : Can be run from a USB stick.

I particularly like the fact that:

• you can test different versions of PHP (switchable with one click)
  
• you have no system settings anywhere else than in the install folder. Hence easy uninstall.
• the mode online/offline (with one click)
  
• phpMyAdmin is integrated and launches with one click. I like clicks ;)
• the libraries versions are more up-to-date than xammp
• the preferences are logical and useful
• the stat cpu/mysql is quite nice
  

However what makes me fall in love with it is the config panels for Apache and PHP.
Look at that: Descriptions and links for what the php/apache extensions and settings are !!!!!
No need anymore to browse the web to find what some obscure settings are and if one description is not enough you can simply click on the provided link to a more extensive doc.




What can you ask more? Free? It already is.

Inductive Logic Programming

Wow... I just saw that the reference book on inductive logic programming from Nada Lavrac and Saso Dzeroski is now freely availble online: http://www-ai.ijs.si/SasoDzeroski/ILPBook/

If only I found time to play with it ...

Any investor around which would help me create an AI engine ? :)

Why ?

As I am living on my fortune right now I must begin to seek some sort of revenue. (A few thousands $ would cover most of my living expenses... any donor?)

During this guest a human nature characteristic struck me.
Which leads me to this existential question that puzzles me deeply actually:


Why is it that I have no difficulty to find proficient, capable and engaged coders & artists only willing to code for a FREE project but none for a commercial project?

Until now the coders and artists with whom I began to work on a commercial project did all quit at the first difficulty. Whereas on a free project they are willing to pass hours to tackle difficulties!

I fail to see the logic here.
