Just one more cup of coffee, a salutary Galic warning: http://ping.fm/oWzNT this is how I feel by lunch when I loose count.

Thinking of coffee… Heading for the espresso machine for a double shot latte, with honey.

Sunday, watching the trams halted by the cops for pedestrians on Queens Quay. Just because they are joggers with numbers on is no excuse!

embedding BBC videos!
June 4, 2007I have just seen something I thought the BBC would never get round to. Not just allowing but actually promoting the embedding of some of their online content within other sites. As an example the following about motion sensitive PC’s. Now if I need to illustrate a tech news item with some BBC content I don’t have to risk the wrath of the copyright layers by snarfing their content.
Damn wordpress, cannot embed the flash player from BBC, you will just have to go find it the link to the motion sensitive PC, or the flash embed code to insert.

Drupal-Camp Toronto
May 12, 2007Down at UofT today in DrupalCamp. For the uninitiated Drupal is a great open source CMS with some of the best user base and the ultimate in customise-ability.
Yesteray I sat in on some great talks describing such things as:
- Using the CCK, Views and Panels as site construction toolkit
- Getting started with AJAX in Drupal 5.x
- Performance tuning and optimization of high traffic Drupal sites
Today My intention is to go to the following:
- Introduction to module development
- Building an event site in an hour
- For developers: Implementing Views into your custom module
- Debugging Techniques Swap Meet
- Speed Geek – (Speed presentations) – Present YOUR work or ideas!
With some of these sessions I will be recording audio and later screencasting the slides and audio for sharing.
