Just to keep up my current focus on extreme geekery, Dooze (formerly known as "s is small") is now available for download. It's kind of ended up as a CMS for people who could probably write their own if they wanted to but just haven't the time. It's still possible to install, customize and use it without knowing any PHP but there's a bunch more stuff you can do with it if you do.
Anyway, enjoy...
I've been playing with XUL for a couple of days now. Kind of interesting and kind of really confusing.
It looks like it could be really useful for making cross-platform applications and the way it works means that it's not a huge jump from HTML development to XUL layouts but getting plugins to work on OS X? Ugh.
The large number of folders called 'plugins' within the standard application structure definitely didn't help. At the moment, my application works but I have no idea why. It's probably a quantum thing, you can either know what it does or how it does it but not both.
Still, it's available for download on the (almost finished) MonkeyTV site. Now I just need to go through the process again for Windows...
So, my latest little project, Monkey TV is about to shift from the aleph to the bet testing stage (Hebrew's much more fun than greek). The site's only been up in its current state for less than 3 days and already it's been hammered by hundreds of spam bots. Really, they're faster than google.
More info and cool stuff when I finish.
The Visitor Studies Group website was my first big Drupal project. Along the way, I think I must have rewritten the drupal source-code at least twice before I ended up with a tiny handful of theming functions. I think drupal might just be too smart for its own good...
