The Weekly Rewind

Howdy, welcome to another Weekly Rewind. Number 22 we’re up to now and I can’t think of any good jokes for that number, sorry. Apart from maybe some Bingo lingo “two little ducks… twenty two” and all that. Anyway, lack of jokes aside, let’s get into what happened this week:

On Monday we got back to recording the first regular Linux Outlaws episode in a while, about 3 weeks actually. Damn, it was a long one at 2 hours running time! We had lots of technical problems before starting and so were pretty delayed. It was fun as always though and luckily lots of people came to join us live in the IRC and on Ustream. I’m thankful for all the support and I hope everyone else had as good a time as I did. On Tuesday I did a lot of work on my DanLynch.org website. I sorted out the Drupal install a bit, upgraded to 6.13 and made sure all the modules were up to date. This blog actually runs on WordPress but it’s a sub directory of the main Drupal site. The master plan (if you can call it that) is to have one place where everything I do resides. A proper hub for all my activities online where you can find music, podcasts, articles and assorted gubbins. The site is making progress very slowly, I’ve got it to the stage where it pulls in podcast items automatically and at least has a list of the latest blog posts in the sidebar. There’s still a hell of a long way to go. The structure of the Drupal nodes and flow is pretty much done but I need to fix up one design that works for the whole site, including this blog. I have an idea and I’ll be digging into some XHTML/CSS stuff in the near future. It’s been a while so it’ll be good to get back to it. If anyone has ideas or suggestions of what you’d like to see on the site feel free to chip in with a comment or email. Read the rest of this entry »
