Using Pressflow + Memcached + APC + Varnish on here now

I use

for Drupal instances.

Implementing zen's tabs and messages sans Zen.

(It's been a while since I posted here. You can find me over on my blog. Also you can find me on twitter and identi.ca.)

Zen is awesome. Unfortunately, it has a tad too much overhead for my taste. Today I've been experimenting with ninesixty and wanted to implement tabs and messages independently.

Messages

Socialite.module - Link to you / your businesses external social networking sites

You can see this module working live on the left sidebar, front page, of this website.

Features automated favicon generation, caching, drag and drop sorting.

Minimalist. This is the Unix philosophy: Write programs that do one thing and do it well.

New blog!

New blog started at http://blog.skiquel.com.

I will likely be posting in there from now on.

background.module - change the bg of your site through theme settings

www.drupal.org/project/background

First commit used jQuery, current one will write a CSS file to the file_directory_path();

Testing jQuery rounded corners, jquerymenu patch.

There is a nice patch waiting for jquerymenu. Remove the navigation title when there are no menu's present.

Also, cleanstate development snapshots are testing rounded corners. This site is using it now.

Updated color.module demo

Updated color.module demo to new themes.

color.module commits, example themes seperated

www.drupal.org/project/color_soc08

Size should be shrinked down a lot.

Additionally the contrib themes are linking to the color module. Those themes have been updated to support the keyed arrays when defining schemes. You are probably best observing yourself at the moment.

What is coming soon... The syntax for the color.module NG is going to be finalized. Then alpha/beta testing with proceed.

Planet-SoC.com and Summer of Code

This is the forth year of Planet-SoC, it's launching today. www.planet-soc.com

This year, I'm mentoring a student with an interest in implementing new VCS into drupal.org.

My mentor last year, the bright @kkaefer unfollowed me. (I think he may have gotten annoyed by my commit tweets.)

Summer job working on a very cool Drupal project.

Beginning a student-mentor-organization platform for organizations to manage SoCers. More details on that soon.

Hoping the summer is great for all you guys.

Theme tweaks

Some more theme tweaks have been done.

I've updated the cleanstate version on here to the latest release.

Also I'm opening up comments.
