The goal of this site is to share with you a bit about my:
projects
tools
challenges
solutions
It is also a platform to create discussion on all of the above. I hope that some of you will find tools and solutions that help or inspire you, and I look forward to your questions and suggestions.
To make a long story short, the link is here: http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/karmic/ubuntu-9.10-netbook-r...
Ubuntu 9.10 is freshly published, and from what I hear it is really speedy, and in a low powered laptop like my wee eeepc 1000h every bit of speed helps. Last night as I was finishing up my days programming duties, I decided it was time to download Karmic Koala and see if it really did give me that extra speed.
A client of mine publishes several magazines. The websites for these are published in Drupal. Production uses InDesign to create the files that go to print. My job? To improve the workflow.
Currently, content is written in Word, then imported as plain text, and formatted via a series of keyboard shortcuts. Changes are made, sometimes in InDesign, sometimes in Word, and eventually sent to print. To publish on the web, the content is copied from InDesign and re-formatted to fit the online template in Drupal.
After MUCH neglect, I am officially relaunching Spyderboy. I have been working on some pretty cool stuff, and it has kept me really really busy. But I am dying to share it with you! Watch this space... I will be blogging about...
So I find Twitter to be an extremely useful resource for keeping up with bleeding edge technology. Here is a link to some of the top Drupal people to follow on Twitter. Great place to start! http://www.tweettop.com/topic/drupal
I like Ubuntu. It just rocks. I use it for most of my work, and when I have to use Windows for something, it's usually running in a virtual machine, from Ubuntu.
I like technology. I may even have an obsession with it. Gadgets, gizmos, widgets and whats-its... I WANT.
I like Open Source. Many hands make light work, and there are so many brilliant people involved in Open Source projects.
