Fun with Drupal, travelling

April 20th, 2007

I was assigned lead coder/webmaster in yet another school project. This site is intended to serve as a hub for all Seneca student’s portfolios.

I am seriously impressed with Drupal. The simple template system works great, and the file structure makes a lot of sense - there is much less hunting around for the right file to edit than with some other CMSs. My favourite thing is that much like my own CMS, the admin tools are inline with the site. There is no separate administration area. This makes small updates to the site go so much faster. I can browse to the page I want, click ‘Edit’, and tools to modify the page are right there.

One more day of school, then I’m heading to Canmore for a week. Sunshine and Lake Louise are still open and getting snow. Woo!!!

Ok. Thanks for the link John.

  • 4 Domains says imakewebsites.ca is worth $990.00
  • 4 Domains says arcwd.com is worth $1738.00

Right. Found that one on webhosting.info

Bah, I can’t find any other free ones to mess with. Wacky results though.

Somebody made a game for me

This looks as cool as Spore and Portal, and so far the only game that really interests me on the PS3. Everything in these videos has me smiling. The character design, the levels, the music and sounds, the co-op gameplay, the level building and sharing. Great granola cola!


This game is my new obsession for the next hour.. at least.

More?

Falling Ice

March 5th, 2007

I caught a cold over the weekend, and had to email in sick for work/internship at Organic today. And now I find out the area around the CN Tower is closed because huge sheets of ice are falling off of it, damaging cars and buildings.

I think this video shows a chunk of ice crashing right on the route I take from St Andrew Subway Station to the office. Check out the second shot of ice hitting the ground with the dude yelling ‘Heads up you guys’. Scarrrrrry stuff. I can’t believe how far they are fluttering away from the tower.

Someone else sees it too.
