Drupal

I've had ideas for stories among other things for years. I've started plenty but never had the self determination to see them through to completion. One day I decided if I could actually complete a story, to see if the end result was as good as I thought it could be; or whether I was just fooling myself. The result is a short story called Jump.

For those who subscribe to TechBytes or talk to me on Identi.ca or IRC you will have noticed I've become rather immersed in Drupal of late. I am currently building several Drupal sites at the same time, bouncing back and forth between them. The new home of the Digital Prism Screencast is just one of several.

Yesterday I started playing with Drupal 7 since it hit final, and it's different. I am far too used to Drupal 6, so it's a case of unlearning some things to use Drupal 7. To be honest, I'm still kinda lost at times in the UI but that's just familiarity. I have a few obvious changes to relearn.

After some experimentation I can proudly announce the start of the Digital Prism Screencast. The introduction episode is finally up and ready to be viewed by anyone who is interested. This is still a very new venture for me, so I am still in the trial and error phase as yet.

I've decided to try a little experiment, and start blogging with PyRoom. For the curious, PyRoom is not a blogging platform, nor am I switching my blog from Drupal, PyRoom is a distraction free plain text editor. I've chosen to use it to write my posts, starting with this one. So why do it this way instead of creating a post as usual in Drupal? A number of reasons.
