What is this site about?
I've long been inspired by an idea I first learned about in The Artist's Way called morning pages. Morning pages are three pages of writing done every day, typically encouraged to be in "long hand", typically done in the morning, that can be about anything and everything that comes into your head. It's about getting it all out of your head, and is not supposed to be edited or censored in any way. The idea is that if you can get in the habit of writing three pages a day, that it will help clear your mind and get the ideas flowing for the rest of the day. Unlike many of the other exercises in that book, I found that this one actually worked and was really really useful.
I've used the exercise as a great way to think out loud without having to worry about half-formed ideas, random tangents, private stuff, and all the other things in our heads that we often filter out before ever voicing them or writing about them. It's a daily brain dump.

When it comes to web development, most people wouldn't doubt PHP's best friend is Apache HTTPD Server. Having that said, developers who experienced any of web application frameworks of other scripting languages such as Ruby on Rails and Django may well find it cumbersome to set up httpd.conf just to use it within a development environment as those are most likely accompanied by a tiny web server that can be launched with a simple command line.
While PHP is capable enough to write a standalone web server in thanks to the enhanced stream APIs, writing a web server in PHP for each web application framework should not really make sense because it could not be made compatible enough with the standard environment due to difficulty of emulating PHP's per-request resource handling in the main event loop without Runkit.
Therefore, it is natural that CLI version of PHP has a feature that the binary itself can be a web server.

Open Mesh networking is a type of networking wherein each connected node in the network may act as an independent router or "smart" device, regardless of whether it has an Internet connection or not. Mesh networks are incredibly robust, with continuous connections that can reconfigure around broken or blocked paths by "hopping" from node to node until the destination is reached, such as another device on the network or connecting to an Internet back haul. When there is local Internet available, they can amplify the number of people who can connect to it.  When there isn’t, mesh networks can allow people to communicate with each other in the event that other forms of electronic communication are broken down. Devices consist of most wifi enabled computers and run on existing Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X, and Linux systems along with iPhone and Android mobile devices. An open source mesh network further offers a scalable solution that retains low costs while avoiding path dependencies ..
