Drupal, WordPress, or Joomla? (A Trick Question)
I was recently asked my opinion of whether to use Drupal or one of those other ones. I was going to just write a flippant reply, when I realized I’m not actually qualified to answer the question. I have never personally used WordPress. I read a comparison of it and Drupal some years ago, and …

Sadly, my plans for August don’t include Drupalcon Szeged. Already too much travel this summer, and the dates conflict with a training my partner is doing, so that would be hard on our 4yo. Back in June, I made a list of personal project plans, so I figure I’ll revise that list for the rest …

Made some progress last night with the Drupal Media Player that I blogged about recently. Dynamic logos! lz.embed.swf({url: ‘/sites/all/modules/media_player/bundled_flash_player/media_player.lzx.lzr%3Dswf8.swf?lzproxied=false&file=http://spindowners.com/files.dm/videos/20051210-w50s.flv&display_logo=1&logo=//sites/aaronwinborn.com/files/my-logo.png&color_bg=black&image=/sites/all/modules/media_player/bundled_flash_player/resources/druplicon.png’, bgcolor: ‘black’, width: ‘500’, height: ‘400’, id: ‘media-player-1’, accessible: ‘false’}); Please enable JavaScript in order to use this application.

Home-Brewed Drupal Media Player in the Works!
Here’s a sneak peek of the new flash Drupal Media Player, developed by yours truly with OpenLaszlo! Obviously, it’s still rough on the edges, and all the options in the theme function aren’t hooked up yet. Although it works already (after a fashion), don’t use it yet unless you’re willing to suffer the consequences. lz.embed.swf({url: …

So my brother in law (Erik Gecas) has an art exhibit, Painting Physical Presence, that’s just opened in Las Vegas! Particularly exciting for me (though admittedly only slightly relevant to the world of Drupal) is that I created his web gallery a few months ago, with Drupal of course. The show is in tandem with …

The Media Code Sprint has been a great success thus far! We have built a fairly comprehensive test suite for hook_file. It still needs to be rounded out, so that, for instance, all the cases for file saving are covered. However, validation is fleshed out, and the framework is pretty much usable and ready for …

I’ll be presenting with Andrew …
Read more »Media Code Sprint: Status Report One
As announced, we’ve begun the Media Code Sprint to put better media handling into Drupal core! It’s been a great time so far. In the morning, drewish compiled a file function guessing game (free beer!), and andreiashu took the bait and completed the first round with great feedback about how unusable the current state is. …
