In case you were wondering

Acquia Drupal have got a Stack Installer at their site that allows you to install a Drupal 6 installation without all the fiddling about, see here

it's great as it allows you to set it up on your computer and lots of of stuff installed already.

At the moment I am farting about with allsorts of different themes, and will be recreating scarybirds and the animation collaboration site on there, so that when I am ready to upgrade this site to Drupal 6 everything should work as I have planned, anyway thats my cunning plan, so if I dont post hardly anything I am fiddling about in the background.  I have to go back to work tomorrow which I aint looking forward to, kind of got used to being at home, the things you have to do for money eh
