New home for the website

Submitted by on

After several months waiting to do so, I've finally moved this site to Drupal. Right now the content has been moved over and I've set up most of the bare features I wanted, but I still have to finish some functionality and, obviously, make it not look quite so horrible. More updates will be arriving over the coming weeks, stay tuned!

BarCamp Orlando 3 was awesome!

Submitted by on

Anyone who lives in Central Florida who's into anything IT-related, or design, or business management, or marketing.. or anyone who wasn't otherwise busy, should have been at BarCamp Orlando this past Saturday. With three rooms for presentations, there were plenty of sessions to cover just about any interest. Needless to say, it was awesome.

Thankfully Drupal has a plugin/module built in which does this for you, the BlogAPI module. So I activate the module then try to connect using ecto only to be greeted with the lovely message:

The response from the server did not contain valid data.

Drupal is one such system and is an amazingly powerful tool in its own right, but you still want to be able to write offline..
