Mountain lion
I got up close to this guy, a few hundred yards from my house. Very nice. More pictures here.
Struggling with Drupal
Well, after a detailed analysis of the different CMS systems, I chose Drupal, and have been struggling, fairly successfully, to port the fire department website, bouldermountainfire.org. Here were my criteria for CMS selection:
- Fantastico compatible (more about this later) for easy upgrade
- MySQL-based
- Good permissions-based content protection (with different users and groups have specific permissions)
- Embedded Gallery2 plugin
Cooking tannies
Cassie left out 3/4 of the chocolate required to make brownies (it’s all about the definition of a “bar”, being 2 oz of chocolate, where the smaller subdivisions are only 1/2 oz each). The result was these horrible tasting “tannies”, as my coworkers affectionately named them.
