This is my personal blog. Having a blog can be pretty fun if you blog on things you like. What I do, is when I stuble upon (not to be confused for stumble, the service) blogs or postings I like, or ifI just feel like blogging on something, I write it here. Honestly, blogging is something I really liked about five years ago, now so many blogs are re-postings of the same thing, or are linking themselves back to other blogs, blogging has almost become redundant. I blog when I really have something to say!

On my site, I have many aggregated feeds, of trusted sources I know. I look through these, and make my own opinions known. Blogging takes up serious time, so my updates unfortunatey take a while. So sorry for being a poor blogger, but... there are like a gazillion blogs out there so your good. ;)

Notes on this page:

This page is sort-of complicated to get it to work, and uses many Drupal Contributed Modules other than the core of course. I don't want to get into great detail, but this page has been set up with Views, Organic Groups, Messaging, Notifications, Five Star Ratings, FCK Editor, it's prime example of what one has to do to gain a lot of functionality and flexibility with Drupal. If I ever want to open this group up to other users, friends, whatev, I can. I have many options I can stil make vivisble to end users. Since this is just a simple blog posting area, not too much happening, but a lot of scaleability in the future. Cheers!

The Default Settings are wrong! Ubercart Products, UPS Shipping and PAK

My clients that have Online Storefronts and Drupal use Ubercart, not that I don't like the Ecommerce module, just Ubercart is the one I adopted first and have been using the longest, so I am the most familiar with it. This blog pertains to Drupal 5, Ubercart (UC) 5.x Products, UPS shipping and the Default settings when Adding a new Product.

Thank god, I found something to Dev in IE with!

The "Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar" is a solution that finally allows you to work with the IE rendered document, without having to use the annoying 'View Source' feature and find the content

What’s With Metadata?

Metadata is pretty cool. You can attatch a lot about yourself and who you are, to help you tag your own libraries, or just help you keep organized, or help other people search you. It's pretty easy to do anymore, my OS makes it easy.
