While I don’t think I’ve mastered Drupal I’m past the worst of the learning curve, but there were a number of things that I never saw explained anywhere which caused me many a headache. Many a time I would update some css but after uploading and forcing a page refresh the changes wouldn’t appear and I’d spend the next 20-30 minutes trying to see if I’d mispelt something (which is often the case).

The upcoming release of Drupal 7 is seeing some major changes in the look and functionality due to the attention that has been given to the user experience. Like WordPress, Drupal 7 will have an administration theme which will take away many of the layout, design, and customisation headaches that currently exist.
When Drupal 6 was released contributed modules such as CCK and Views were not ready due to major rewrites for both, which meant most people couldn’t upgrade. There is a push behind Drupal 7 to make sure this doesn’t happen again. Continue reading Drupal 7 Is Cool

We bought a PS3 nearly a year ago and in all that time I’ve been trying to find a game that would get Oui interested in it. Even Little Big Planet wasn’t able to penetrate his ambivalence, but last night I found the game.

Back in the old days, when dial-up was king. When the cool kids hung out on BBS’s and online child predators were just a twinkle in politicians eyes.
