Released WELPressed 1.0
0Today, I released the first version WELPressed on SourceForge as free software under GPL.
PHP on nginx is a solid setup to serve PHP applications like WordPress in a development environment. There are many guides available that help you configure and run PHP on nginx via FastCGI on Windows. I had also discussed this configuration in my previous post on WELP. Once configured, nginx and PHP FastCGI can be started and stopped from the command line. nginx does not automatically spawn FastCGI processes; you must start them separately. Neither nginx nor PHP provides a friendly GUI through which you can start and stop these services.
WELPressed is a small Windows utility that lets you start and stop nginx and PHP FastCGI in one click. It also makes monitoring the status of these services easy. nginx and PHP FastCGI continue running even after you close WELPressed, so you do not have to keep WELPressed running. You can stop them by opening WELPressed again.
WELPressed was originally written to run WordPress on Windows, nginx, SQLite and PHP (WELP), hence the name.

Released Cows ‘n Bulls 1.1
0Yesterday, I released the next version of my little game, on SourceForge as free software under GPL. This version includes multi-platform compatibility updates and some minor fixes.
This is a verbal version of the classic number guessing game Cows and Bulls. Instead of guessing four-digit numbers, you guess valid four-letter words. You have to guess the word (all words are 4 letters) in 10 tries. You would be given the number of “cows” and “bulls” on each word you enter. A “bull” is a matching letter in the correct position and a “cow” is a matching letter which is not in the correct position.
I wrote this game in 2007 for my wife (then girlfriend) but had never released it.
You can download the latest version from SourceForge – https://sourceforge.net/projects/cowsnbulls/
