BTW…
Never said this would be a humorous blog…
Gotta rant on IE
Must say I like this FireFox. It handles everything better than IE, except for ActiveX, of course. Pages load faster, tabbed windows, built in popup blocker, better password “wallet”. Plus its skinnable. Yeah, I’m a sucker for eye candy. My biggest beef with IE is its lack of transparent png support. It also renders png colors incorrectly. Take a look at the logo bar, if you don’t believe me. The blue is the same color as the rest of the header, but IE doesn’t render it correctly.
Linux FTP and virtual directories?!
Why can’t linux ftp daemons handle virtual directories?! It seems that pretty much all their Window’s counterparts are able too. It’s almost like it is a forgien concept. In linux, it is refered to as a chroot() jail. Which is cool cus it locks a user into a particular directory. But all of them use the unix chroot() system function, which breaks symlinks (another unix system function) that point outside of the chrooted directory.
on a whim
I decided to upgrade to Drupal 4.40, which has a lot of theme changes. As such, the site might look a little ugly till I get everything sorted out.
todo list
As always this site is a work in progress. As I learn my way around drupal, I’ll add and subtract features as I see fit.
I still have to do is setting up my taxonomy. This will allow me to organize the sight into meaningful categories. Then you lucky users will be able to pull up my posts on a particular subject. Ain’t that swell?!
I’d also like to be able to embed the picture gallery into drupal. I like gallery, but it’d be nice to wrap the look of the site on it.
