Hi,
I'm working on a website on mine (stealth-x.com), and before I go around uploading the rest of the site i'd like to include a comment system. However, due to hosting restrictions, mySQL isn't running on the server. I know it should be possible to use a PHP comment system that runs off of text files, but I havn't the time to learn PHP right now, and I couldn't find anything of use from google. If anyone knows any project like this, and could point it out, that would be awesome 
The irony of man's condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it, and so we must shrink from being fully alive.

I think you're looking for a Flat File Database ( http://www.google.com/search?q=flat+file+database )
Demonstration: http://www.designdetector.com/archives/04/10/FlatFileDatabaseDemo.php
Pretty easy to implement.
EDIT: Fixed URL, added demo

Its called X/HTML + CSS.  . You don't HAVE to use php for a web site unless you want it to be more dynamic. I would suggest for this thought that you DO just buck it up and learn some PHP. Its not that hard and shouldn't take a WHOLE lot of time to get the hang of. Plus it'll give you a better background to move onto to making more dynamic web apps.

I stopped considering javascript-less and server-side-less websites as "making a website". I don't know why... I sorta forgot there's also plain websites. Makes me shiver

Why? Theres alot of REALLY cool and still quite dynamic as far as interactive, galleries etc. Google around for freelance web designers and you'll find some pretty cool designs that use merely CSS,HTML, AJAX scripting. For personal sites its really not much of a requirement to use PHP.

Awesome, thats exactly what I was looking for. Thanks
And I am planning on learning PHP, its just that I'd like to finish learning python and C before I move on to another languages.

Lol. I don't think you can easily finish those two languages. They can go quite in-depth. But sure, whatever.
