Updated to Drupal V. 6.14 and updated several modules... Date, CCK, Views, to name a few. Planning to dig into some serious theming work this holiday weekend.

Also, I tried enabling the Filefield and Imagefield modules, and received an error saying that they wouldn't run under PHP 4. I thought I'd tackled this problem before by editing something in .htaccess, but apparently that wasn't the case. The solution, however, was quite simple, and is documented right here at Sonic.net's site under the FAQ section:

There, I said it. I'm in the process of wiping out all of the yellow on this site, and replacing it with red (not my favorite color either, but it's better than yellow). I'm very happy that there's a version of the GiMP that has been ported to Mac.

Did a fresh install of Drupal on my other "big" "real" site over the weekend, which was probably the quickest Drupal installation I've ever done. Enabled clean URLs, enabled the Path and Blog modules, and tried out a new theme I'd never seen before ("Sea Breeze," which coincidentally is made by the same folks who made "Burning Rubber" - Agileware). Maybe I will launch this puppy before the end of the year after all. I do need to think about some "Best of 2009" lists, for sure.

We're getting there.

I've was thinking the other night about ideas for the Big Site I'm planning to launch one of these days, and it occurred to me that posting a calendar of concerts might be pretty cool - something I did on an earlier website of mine, back before I knew what PHP, CSS, and a whole load of other web development acronyms were. I also thought a calendar might not be such a bad thing to put on this "fake" site, possibly to help me set goals and get things done. In case you haven't noticed, I've been a bit of a slacker lately.

Added some pretty menus. Wheee!

Baby steps...

I've added the CCK, Views, and Token modules. Plus a half dozen or so new themes that I'll be plugging in periodically as I get back in gear again.

After a Drupal upgrade gone horribly wrong and some poor decisions, I am back to square one. Well, maybe square two.

At this point I have:

• Upgraded to Drupal 6.13
• Enabled the Blog and Path modules
• Enabled clean URLs, the hard way. Key: look up line 100 in .htaccess, uncomment it, and point it to my site's root directory
• Installed the 'Burning Rubber' theme and customized it to reflect my current self-deprecating, humorous attitude toward my Drupal 6 adventures

More fun to come, I'm sure!
