Consider this one of those "Yet more reasons why I love X!" where X equals Drupal.

I am presently swamped with work both at work and at home. This is both good and bad. It's good because I hate being trapped with nothing to do. I can find things to do at home should there ever come a time when I'm less than swamped but that time has yet to appear on the horizon. But being at work with nothing to do is just plain awful.

I like to think that I work in a progressive industry.  I like to think that we try to reach out to our clients in ways that will reach them.

It turns out that I'm right.  I have a normal set of websites that I scan on a regular basis which belong to our counterparts throughout the industry.  Each of them have a link to Twitter.  Each of them use Twitter on a regular basis.  Some of them use it frequently enough that I might consider it a little overboard for my taste but I'm not in their target audience.

The second Drupal Users Group for San Antonio was held Tuesday night where we discussed wysiwyg editors and how to configure the Wysiwyg API with TinyMCE for Drupal.

A little background...

In the not too distant past it was painful to implement client-side wysiwyg editors and usually required alot of file editing.  With the advent of the Wysiwyg API it is now possible to implement a number of client-side editors quickly and in a fairly painless method.

I am in the process of moving all of my old posts to this site. This will happen as I have either time or an inability to sleep.

So why I am doing this?

Over the last few months I've begun using Drupal for a variety of projects both personal and professional. I find it to be both pleasant and simple when compared to other things I've used in the past or could be using now.

It also gives me an excuse to stop and smell the roses so to speak. Who knows, maybe I'll even try and be more consistent with my thoughts.

The windows box just imploded the network drivers again. I tried restoring it the same way that I did before, but it was a no go. Given my options, I'm thinking I'll just migrate the little bit of my work that is left on the windows box and say goodbye. I don't have the time to deal with the long involved process of cleaning up after the crappy software that is microsft windows.

The technology battlefield is littered with casualties. The walking wounded have gone mad and are turning on the very people that they need to survive.

I am beginning to feel an increasing hatred towards my only windows machine. Tonight, during the latest round of spring storms, this particular machine chose to shutdown. There was no obvious power surge or outage and the other machines (2 of them) running on the same power source / outlet remained active.

No big deal. It's happened before. Just power it back up and all will be good...NOT!
