Random Drupal Updates
Over the past few days, I’ve been busy updating a lot of Drupal based websites that I’ve helped set up and host. In doing so, I thought it might be helpful to review some of the modules and themes that I’ve been working with. One site interesting site is www.tjntiy.com. I used a slightly modified version of the chameleon theme for the overall look and feel. What made this site interesting is some of the modules and other tweaks done. One of the first modifications was to add a few other different ‘content types’. Each content type is pretty much the same, but using different content types allowed the content to be grouped ni

Building Audience
This afternoon, Colin McEnroe’s show on WNPR will “look at the State of the Blog. Specifically,… where blogging and other online communication/journalism is -- especially here in CT”. In a little discussion about it going on over on Facebook Colin says, “Old media seems shakier than ever” and continues on to ask “Do you bloggers feel ready to step up and fill the vacuum?” I answered in terms of volunteer and professional journalists and referred to my blog post Covering the Local News. Jackie Lightfield brought up a related issue, observing, “Don't forget the corollary, advertising and marketing is evolving aw

A Geeks approach to the Puzzler
On the NPR Show, Weekend Edition every Sunday, they have a puzzle. Usually, I don’t bother trying to figure them out, but last week’s puzzler seemed like a great programming puzzle. Take a letter from each of the first nine elements, in order, to form a common word in arithmetic. A quick calculation revealed that there were approximately 18 million possible words. A script could easily be written that would generate all the possibilities and then put those words through a spell checker. I decided to write this as a Bash script. The one problem is that the spell command in Linux returns everything that is misspelled, instead of everything that is spelled correctly.
