cant see the tree from the forest
makes more sense when I can see an example that
relevent to me (then I can pick it apart bit by bit)
localhost doesnt work for me(?)
replace exact same command with 192.... works
(localhost reconized by browser&ping)
now I play add a bit, subtract a bit, and see what
happens (getting something done while learning)
playing with torsmo (nice :)
