Site Updates

Well just when we thought it was all done a few new updates came along.

I changed the top banner slightly and moved a few things around. I think the RedBubble viewer is more useable now?

It's at the top of the main content area, for now...

 

Oh yeah and I also added the Text Size module as part of the Accessibility Upgrade

The Revisioning stuff looks promising

Updates

The updating process gets easier but I wish Drupal 7 was here:-(

Drupal 7 looks good and we are setting up a "Sandbox" as soon as there is a beta release.

Mid April is the current guess.

The only new things on the site are behind the scenes - for example Jason Guo (Xmphony.net) supplied the mynode module that helps me track what we have done on the site - and who has done what. Testing it now but it does look useful. Thanks again Jason:-)

An Inconvenient Truth

I am a bit bored with wingnuts attempting to discredit Al Gore.

They tried to "bag" him for his role in getting the internet going. Well, bad luck, in the 1980s, the internet was just a few computers wired up in the Pentagon for research. As a senator, Al Gore sponsored the very first bill to turn it into a much wider “information superhighway.” Vincent Cerf, who is widely regarded as the technological founder of the internet, has publicly said that it is thanks to Gore that the internet is used by all of us today. So when Gore said in a 1997 interview that he “took the initiative” in making the internet possible, it was true. The other Gore “lies” have equally impressive truths behind them.

Rant space

Given that every man, woman - and a range of what are obviously aliens - can write whatever they want to on the interblog, then, thought I , why not me.

I too can be opinionated and biassed. I may not approach the lofty peaks of self-satisfied bigotry of an Andrew Bolt or a Piers Ackerman but I can try...

Pfoofing with Pfacebook

Working out what can be passed between our Drupal based website and Facebook is sort of driving me mental.

Well I was well there to start with you might say but nonetheless it is an exercise infrustration because both applications keep changing their codebase.

Persistence is not futile

We continue...

Art & Architecture

West BuildingI'm not sure what's going on. Well in fact it is beyond not being sure; I absolutely do not know what is going on. I am presented by what purports to be art; but looks to me like a hurriedly completed assignment of early childhood. I have new buildings pointed out to me that apparently exemplify modern architecture; and all I can see is a purposeless experimentation with "Lego™" blocks.

Now that's all well and good but, as my daughter and I agreed, why fix what isn't broken? Driving around Canberra we can see many buildings that look good and are well sited. The East and West buildings on Anzac Parade are classically beautiful. But then we see new building - such as the ones near the Casino, that look like packing crates stacked up.
