robinna/ July 18, 2008/ my projects, opensource, photography, XHTML/XML/CSS/ 1 comments

I’ve been looking at a plugin to expand my image gallery (hosted at my domain via opensource coppermine, not the flickr version) by using feeds — basically, for each category I would have a feed. I looked at migrating to different systems, too: Gallery, plogger, and 4images. Here is the rundown of what I need: RSS Feeds per category/image album

From Read/WriteWeb: Evri Beta Launches: Search Less – Understand More Evri, a Paul Allen backed semantic search engine, launched into a limited beta this week. Evri was first shown publicly at the D6 conference. Evri’s CEO Neil Roseman likes to talk about Evri in terms of organizing content instead of calling it a search engine. At its core, however, Evri

I love all of these handy little web tools online. Just in case you really feel the need to use tables, you can CSS ’em, here.

My e-portfolio in drupal (beginnings)

robinna/ March 25, 2008/ my projects, XHTML/XML/CSS/ 0 comments

Although I still have lots more work to do it, I managed to get drupal upgraded to 6.1. As I stated in one of my previous drupal posts, the difference between 4.7(? I think that was my latest version pre-upgrade) and 6.1 is amazing. It looks like on the “to do” list for the upcoming upgrades is a WYSIWYG theme

drupal – what it is & how it works (overview)

robinna/ March 24, 2008/ software, Design, my projects, XHTML/XML/CSS, Training/ 0 comments

For those unfamiliar with Drupal it is a largescale opensource CMS for a website which is used by the likes of Tim Berners-Lee. Drupal is scalable and modular built which even includes design elements. Each Drupal website is like a house built out of legos — just like legos fit together to create something (a working door, a roof, etc.)

Ideas and…

So, I decided I would put all of Powerpoint handout stuff into my website to make it a little more interactive and interesting than just downloading a Word doc. I couldn’t quite figure out how to dump a Word doc into drupal and in looking around on the messageboard I discovered I was 2 versions behind anyhow. Isn’t that the

textpattern, wordpress, & redesign

robinna/ January 3, 2008/ software, publishing, Design, CMS, my projects, webdesign, XHTML/XML/CSS/ 0 comments

I’m re-doing one of my domains with textpattern or wordpress. I considered drupal, but to be honest, I want something with a little stronger 3rd party support. There are several features & functionalities missing in drupal which I need. For a site from scratch or one with content generated from within drupal, all is well. For those working with 3rd

I was poking around trying to find a better video editor, when I stumbled across an opensource project called, Jahshaka. Jahshaka is positioning itself as being a fullbodied product that can compete with such software as finalcut pro (wow!). Not sure about that, because I could never (ever, ever) get the windows installer to work properly. Maybe if I had
