+ <p>The cakelampvm project provides a virtualbox VM that acts as an "internet
+ in a bottle". The virtual machine provides DNS services (<a title="dns server"
+ href="http://www.bind9.net/">bind9</a>), a Web server (<a title="patchy"
+ href="https://httpd.apache.org/">Apache2</a>), a full <a title="ubuntu means compassion and humanity"
+ href="https://www.ubuntu.com/">Ubuntu</a> <a title="it's pronounced leenoox"
+ href="https://www.linuxfoundation.org/">Linux</a> desktop environment,
+ the <a title="flux is change" href="http://fluxbox.org/">Fluxbox</a> <a
+ title="a better windows" href="https://www.x.org/">X window manager</a>,
+ and a suite of tools called the <a title="feisty meow® concerns ltd. website"
+ href="https://feistymeow.org/">Feisty Meow® codebase</a>
+ <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
+ . Together, these services provide you with a very flexible and
+ powerful testbed for web development, especially suited for <a title="it's cake"

+ <h2>Powering up with the Feisty Meow® scripts</h2>
+ <p>[First, let me drop the registered trademark symbol from here on
+ in. I hope its presence above has been sufficiently clear for legal
+ purposes, but now it will just get in the way. Also, capitalization
+ really bores me, and it's the feisty meow codebase anyhow, so that's how
+ it will be written henceforth.]</p>
+ <p>The feisty meow scripts are a cohesive bash scripting environment for
+ getting a variety of tasks done. The scripts recently incorporated
+ the 'avbash' collection from Saco Designs, which provides tools for
+ bringing up CakePHP web sites and managing the collection of repositories
+ for those sites. Each website is considered an "application", and
+ the application name itself (e.g. "winterportlibrary") can often provide
+ all the details for "powering up" the site. The feisty meow team has
+ added additional scripts for managing DNS domains and Apache websites that
+ provide the capability to "stand up" an entire website around an
+ application, with accompanying domain.</p>
+ <p>The scripts for now are documented separately within the Feisty Meow
+ codebase. The Feisty Meow readme file provides some valuable
+ information on configuring the codebase. If you have the cakelampvm,
+ then this has already been done for you on the vm in the developer account.
+ The script documentation is available in the UHHHHHH page of something..</p>
