Wow!
It has been over 2 years since I started writing "Using open source software to design, develop, and deploy a collaborative Web site":http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/ibm/osource/implement.html with my friends and colleagues Louis and Alister. We received an email from our editor at "developerWorks":http://www.ibm.com/developerworks that it was time to move our articles to the archive section.

Wow, it has been a long long time since I updated this blog. Eli complained a couple days ago about it not being kept up to date and I realized that it is almost a year since my last post. A lot has changed so read on!
In February word came down that AdTech (the group in IBM that I worked in) was being dissolved and we all had to find new places to work. In late March I moved to Software Group, working in the Massachusetts Design Studio with Louis and Alister the other authors of the now infamous "Drupal series on IBM's developerWorks":http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/ibm/osource/index.html .

We published "Part 9: Understanding the database layer":http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/ibm/library/i-osource9/ in our on going "series about Drupal":http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/ibm/osource/index.html on "developerWorks":http://www.ibm.com/developerworks several weeks ago. The article describes how the Drupal database abstraction layer works using the pager system and our announcement module as discussion points.
We conclude the article with a "gift" to the Drupal community: support for IBM DB2 Express-C. Hopefully someone will take our work and finish it for later versions of "Drupal":http://www.drupal.org .

The next *two articles* in our "developerWorks series on Drupal":http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/ibm/osource/index.html were published. Check out "Part 7: Structuring content for theming using XHTML":http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/ibm/library/i-osource7/ to learn about how we developed a consistent, clean content structure with proper semantics that we use in "Part 8: Styling content for theming using CSS":http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/ibm/library/i-osource8/ .
Discuss them on our "developerWorks forum":http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/dw_forum.jsp?forum=988&cat=13 or "drupal.org":http://drupal.org !

The next article in our "developerWorks series on Drupal":http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/ibm/osource/index.html was published today. Check out "Part 6":http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/ibm/library/i-osource6/ which details how to build a custom Drupal module.
We are making progress on parts 7, 8 and 9. If all goes well they should be released in October. Writing 1 article is time consuming; writing an entire series is challenging.
I decided to treat myself to a new toy for all my hard work: a "Nikon D80":http://www.dpreview.com/articles/nikond80/ . I got the kit with the 18-135mm lens and I have already put it to good use when we were in Salem. The camera is outstanding and I am looking forward to getting the SB-600 flash and a nice Crumpler backpack for the camera and m
