So in addition to being Veteran’s Day, today, November 11, 2011, happens to be the last “Binary Day” I am ever likely to live through. There have been 36 so-called “Binary Days” in the last 11 years (9 each in 2000, 2001, 2010 and 2011), where all the days of the date (except the century) …

Ever since the Profiles feature was first announced in the canary build I was excited, but it was limited (biggest limitation, these profiles weren’t saved) and the canary build was very unstable at the time. Eventually that early version moved into later builds, but the canary build updated further to allow saving those profiles for …

So I really like Google+ and happily post away to my Google+ Profile. Unfortunately not everybody has access to G+ yet. Facebook still is king of the ring, but I’ve long wanted to do what Google+ does natively, which is to say specify who should see my posts based on groupings. It turns out, facebook …

Over a year ago, I migrated nick.pro from WordPress over to Drupal. I did this so that I could experiment with Drupal more, thinking I could make a more robust site if I did so. Unfortunately, while Drupal is a fantastic, flexible platform for web development, it is simply not efficient as a blogging tool. …

Google I/O was fantastic, and not just because I got a free HTC Evo from Google and Sprint for going. Lots of great things, some of which I’m looking forward to implementing in my work.

I have successfully migrated the nick.pro site from the WordPress blog that it has been for ages, into Drupal. This is perhaps the most unusual migration of this blog (and I’ve moved this blog several times now), in that I don’t actually consider Drupal to be a better blogging software then WordPress, in fact, I …
