WordPress 2.7 – Ahhhhhh!

Posted on December 11, 2008 by bkjones

I guess WordPress doesn’t consider the changes they’ve made in 2.7 (released today) to be big enough to warrant a change to the major version number (which would make it 3.0). However, there are a few features now built-in that I’ve been dreaming about for so long that simply incrementing the second number seems to…

Hacking Drupal 6.x’s front page (or any other page)

Posted on December 10, 2008December 10, 2008 by bkjones

Drupal themeing is addictive. I’ve been so busy mucking with the new layout for one of my sites that I still haven’t gotten all of the content moved over, categorized, etc. I was really itching to fix “one last thing” on my site, and that was the front page. My new layout uses the litejazz…

Drupal 6.x Themeing Tips

Posted on December 8, 2008 by bkjones

I’ve done some theme customization for Drupal, and I’ve used drupal as “just a user” for years. Recently, I took on a project to take a designer’s theme and make it work with Drupal. I’m pleased to say that, minus a couple of little quirks, it’s been relatively simple. Here are a couple of tips…

Reunion with Drupal, Break from Django

Posted on November 17, 2008November 17, 2008 by bkjones

My Drupal Reunion I started using drupal maybe 3-4 years ago. At the time I wasn’t all that impressed. I liked it better than Joomla (Mambo, at that time), and it was a little more featureful than PHP-Nuke. But even back then I hated that this thing was really making some sweeping, grand assumptions about…

I’m a Top 25 Geek Blogger… for some value of “Top”

Posted on November 10, 2008 by bkjones

I’m not someone who wakes up every day and looks at how my blog is ranked by all of the various services. I check out my WordPress stats, but that’s really about it. However, someone went and did some of the work for me, and they’ve decided that, of the blogs that they read or…

Stop Doing Things That Don’t Work (a.k.a: Excel and Virtual Private Servers are Evil)

Posted on October 29, 2008 by bkjones

Note that I’m talking about using these tools in some kind of professional way, and more specifically, I’m talking about using Excel as a database, and using VPS hosting to host “professional” web sites. By “professional”, I mean something other than your personal blog, picture gallery, or other relatively inconsequential site. Excel is not a…

A merger, migration, mysql, python, and more news

Posted on September 30, 2008 by bkjones

First, AddThis.com (where I was the director of IT) and Clearspring have merged! A side effect of that is that I’m now (happily, on purpose, by choice) a full-time consultant! I’ll have a web site up soonish. Until then, check back here for updates. If you’re a tech firm who needs help, and don’t mind…

PyWorks Conference Schedule Posted

Posted on August 27, 2008 by bkjones

Hi all, The schedule for PyWorks has been posted! I’m really excited about three things: 1) there are some really cool talks that I’m looking forward to attending. There are a couple of sysadmin-related talks, AppEngine, TurboGears, Django, and an area I’ve been especially slow to move into: testing (I know, shame on me). There’s…

The promise of Drizzle

Posted on July 27, 2008July 28, 2008 by bkjones

I got to actually speak to Brian Aker for maybe a total of 5 minutes after his micro-presentation about Drizzle, which took place at the Sun booth at OSCON 2008. I was a bit nervous to ask what questions I had out loud, because the things I had wondered about were things I really didn’t…

OSCON Day 2: Launching a Startup in 3 Hours

Posted on July 22, 2008 by bkjones

Launching a Startup in 3 Hours was a great talk given by Andrew Hyde (of techstars.org) and Gavin Doughtie (of Google). Both of the speakers are heavily involved in the recent trend of doing “Startup Weekends”, and techstars.org is an organization that hosts startup weekends all around the US (and I think internationally as well…
