The next two articles in the series "Using open source software to design, develop, and deploy a collaborative Web site":http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/ibm/osource/implement.html went live today. You can read "Part 3: Build your development environment in Windows":http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/i-dw-i-osource3.html?S_TACT=105AGX46&S_CMP=overview and "Part 4: Building your development environment in Linux":http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/i-dw-i-osource4.html?S_TACT=105AGX46&S_CMP=overview and learn how to setup Eclipse for developing Drupal sites. Hopefully people will find these tutorials valuable; we have been using a lot of the information contained in these tutorials to help people in the office get setup with Drupal and Eclipse.

Wow, it has been a long time since I updated my blog. I stumbled upon Open Web Design because I was hacking my WRT54GS with OpenWRT. The OpenWRT web interface uses a layout from Open Web Design and it prompted me to check out the site. I found that many of the example layouts can be adapted to a Drupal theme in about 10 minutes. My new theme is much better than the old one - it was a bit embarrassing to have such an ugly site for so long. Anyway, not too much going on, I am in the process of working with the Greater Boston Chapter of the ACM. I am on the strategic planning committe and am running for President! GBC/ACM Members should make sure their dues are paid up and come to the June 15th meeting and vote. See the Real Times for information about the candidates.
