Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. I caught wind of this twitter the other day that encapsulated perfectly the kind of fear I have about getting cornered (by someone else, or my intention) into making a “community site” that seems to beg for drupal.
For the not-as-geeky among you, feel free to skip to the end where I hope to extrapolate on the larger lessons about audience and technology users.
Let’s get into it, shall we:
Drupal is great software. There’s a lot of developer energy, there are a lot of tools, and by god this is a program that can do everything. You want to host a community of bloggers? Done. You want a discussion forum? Done. You want wikis and/or collaborative tools that you can use to write structured documents? Done. You want to tie into other popular services? Done. You want to create custom content views and insulate certain kinds of content with very granular access menus? Done.
And so forth. Oh, a...

A Sense of Wonder From: feeds.feedburner.com Post Date: 2007-12-31 11:18:42
As my previous post probably indicates, I’ve been reading wikipedia recently about fairly elementary astronomical concepts and facts. While this is an enjoyable project all by itself, it’s clearly in service of the fiction I’m writing.
I’d also take a moment to note that in the biggest web traffic I’ve gotten in a month or more due to a post I made on zimmermania , and the pictures I posted yesterday , I’m going to have a post about science fiction and... more

From the Wikipedia page on Wolf 424
Due to its proximity and fast motion towards the Sun, Wolf 424 will brighten by more than 2% over the course of the 21st century. In approximately 7700 years it will make its nearest approach at a distance of about 1 light year.
See ya in 9700.
And here’s a picture for your records:
A light year is pretty darn close, and astronomically, 7k years isn’t that long at all. I’m thinking someone needs to write a story.

So, I’m really bad at this whole “posting pictures” part of blogging. I don’t have a good excuse, thought I will admit that if there was a good way to manage the Wordpress uploads via XML-RPC, in a standard easy to manage sort of way. Actually, if someone could give me a more clear way of naming and organizing pictures on the server, with points for the fewest steps, and/or greatest automation. Anyway, I’ve gotten off my duff and I’m ready to actually post so... more

I think I may have mentioned a recent foray into spinning. I got some BFL , and attempted to do some navajo plying, and it ended miserably. Later tonight I’m going to spin up a sample in 2 ply and see how that goes. Also, I’m going to slow down the ratio, because I think I was over spinning the singles as well. This is hearty fiber, but it’s longer staple than merino and I don’t need to twist the hell out of it, I think. It’s damn nice, and pretty easy to get a ho... more
