PHPAGI Annoyances or maybe…

OK, if there is one thing I really hate, is that when something so little as a small configuration change from one version to another causes things not to function properly.

Too sick to function…

There is nothing more frustrating than having the flu – it’s the most annoying type of illness you will ever encounter.
