Blawblawblaw

This is a test of the bloggy thing. It's blogtastically amazing!

Or something like that.

Things are a changin'

Well, it's certainly gonna be different around here, but the groundworks been laid now so there's no going back. I'm impressed with the power and flexibilty of the Drupal system, it seems that there's a fair few extras that can be dropped in no problem as and when needed.

So far I like:

* The wiki editing. I do enough contributions to the Wikipedia to know wiki better than html
* The user customised themes - Tom just drop the AF logo into the marvin theme and that's me happy.
* The rest of it

What I'd like to see:

* A neat implementation of avatars, positions within AF (i.e. moderator, newbie, member, chief code monkey, etc.) and possibly post count.

First post

I've blogged before and at other, larger sites. I duuno if I'd really keep it up much here, but at least it's free. Unlike iBlog. Sad

Hoo boy, we have a long way to go...

Looks like we have a good deal of stuff to work on in terns of AF 2.0. Hopefully I can integrate the MQ site into Drupal elegantly.

Hacked my Trackball

Last week I spray painted my Logitech trackball with Testors Chrome #1290. The main section took two coats and the buttons took one. You can see basic reflections in it, but they are not very detailed. It looks cool.

So this is my blog?

Hey, it lets you use html tags and bbcode. That's useful for people like me that tend to mix them together. Html support seems limited but the bbcode tags are all there - apart from [glow] and [scroll] woohoo!

Edit function works. Also gives a delete option too. Presumably there'll be admin permissions to allow deletion of unsuitable material?
