This is my blog... I am doing it so that I can track my own progress against where I think I should be.

Too much golf, and it'll all slip.

Day 9

It seems that my efforts to upgrade to Drupal 6.8 were less good than I thought as my regression testing was clearly sub-standard following complaints that files would not load.

Thank god for backups !

Today, I will start work on writing a core selection of small useful examples. This will take a while.

Currently, "Share trading system" is winning the "What shall I do next" poll with twice as many votes as the nearest competitor.

Day 8 Part 2

Blimey HTML is a pain to write by hand... so I have written my own simple HTML generator until I can install Drupal's text editor

Day 8

Quite pleased with myself today as I have successfully upgraded the site to the latest version of Drupal: 6.8 with it's fantastic new security features that I am sure are invaluable for a site as prone to attack as mine.

Now I am going to learn HTML so that my pages look less like notepad

Day 7

Aiming to polish off Noughts and Crosses today and maybe one other little system + start to market the prototypes to generate interest.

Day 6

Polishing off my Stag do / Hen do planner. This is partly for myself as I am a best man right now, but I know what a pain it is to do this kind of thing especially if you're planning a trip abroad and people are coming from all over the place !

Accurately forecasting the cost of the event will make you popular with the attendees. Stinging everyone for extra cash at each point might leave u with few friends.

Day 5

Writing a nice big list of all the projects I have worked on in the past... a kind of Excel-CV

Day 3

Playing around with Drupal to find out what everything does

Day 2

Trying to configure my Drupal site so that it doesn't look like it's straight out of a 16 year old's school text book
