im suprised that noones ever mentioned using rebol for a bit of fun
web hosting, bbs system, blogger, many other things and its totally
small and portable across OS's too.
its a shame that ntlworld dont allow cgi scripts
as i'd love to put rebol and the bbs/blogger scripts
directly on the serverside webspace we get.
get both rebol/view and rebol/core for your OS

go here
http://www.tgd-consulting.de/Download.html and get
Serve-It!
here for the bbs (click the download script at the top
http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap...bbs.r#reb-over
and here for the blogger
http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap...ipt=new-blog.r
heres several rebol scripts including the original Wiki/Weblog app
vanilla

the serve-it is dead easy to setup within 2 mins
and just copy it to any dir and run.
it struggles a bit with serving some avi's to VLC
mostly H264/AVC/mpeg4part10 but still a cool
few minutes playing around.
if you want to play a little more with the vast
possibilitys of both the core and the GUI view rebol
