new site sneak peek

Well, I’ve finally got drupal up and running (again, second time is a charm, correct?). It’s kind of bare bones at the moment – no portfolio, not much content, and the design is kind of funky.

Honestly, Drupal is a neat product, if I only I can get it work properly (deja vu! from 2003).

Alot of interesting info at the conference I attended yesterday. A few practical things (how to use handheld scanners to do inventory — looks labor intensive but not hard) and an glimpse into captivate for creating tutorials. The social technologies program was most interesting. For one, the presenter demoed my favorite web 2.0 video. 😉Mostly, I was interested to see

Ok, I realize I haven’t done a project update here in a while. so here goes (in addition to managing staff, project management, resolving complex problems, etc. in other words the day to day): Continuing work with the CRDL (Civil Rights Digital Library) in the portal design. I think the metadata issues have been resolved which now means it’s time
