Theme Update... 3 column fun.

categories:

I hastily tossed together a new 3 column theme. I hope it isn't broken on IE or Safari. If you are having trouble...

Get FireFox

Upcoming changes in a week or two:

1) restict access to the sections to admins only.

2) EDITOR and POSTER will disappear.

  • If people are too lazy to sign up a user account, then it shouldn't be here.

inline image previews should work now.

Thanks to Ber Kessels(http://drupal.org/user/2663) the [inline] tag for displaying images should work for preview now. Hurray Ber.


POST upgrades...

I've upgraded post to Drupal version 4.7. Since we're on the precipice of a drupal 5.0 release. I've added free tagging to all content so we have looser way of categorizing things. I'm planning some architectural changes for the site later this week, and its almost time to ramp up and create the autumn06 theme.

categories:

I just got back from Vancouver... Big thanks to the awesome guys at Bryght(http://www.bryght.com) for getting me out there. It was good to network with those crazy left coasters. Unfortunately the camera didn't make it with me. It seems to have disappeared at postmasters' along with Tamas's video camera :(.

I attended BarCamp Vancouver and gave drupal mountpoints while I as there.. (much work to be completed on filesystem to have it ready for DRUPAL_NEXT.) Barcamp Vancouver was held in this awesome venture called workspace. You can find them online @ http://abetterplacetowork.com/. If you're in Vancouver, office there for a day, just the view of North Van is worth it, better yet is the talented crowd of individuals who have memberships at the space. Its like a mental sports club for geeks.

You can't do anything in New York without being fashionably late, so I caught up with the March for Peace organized by United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) at Canal on my way into the city from good ol' Bklyn around 1pm.


Spring '06...
