Mighty Mouse vs. the KVM

Posted Thu, 08/18/2005 - 11:38pm by developer

I finally got a Mighty Mouse today. That alone would not be a good enough reason to blog a review since I'm sure there are plenty of people writing about it already. But it happened to coincide with my purchase of a MiniView™ Micro USB PLUS KVM Switch by IOGEAR.

OK, OK. So not everything is working right yet. The drupal cron job is running so some feeds are starting to show up. I plan to add more and plenty of links to helpful websites. (I certainly have browsed a few of those trying to get drupal to work.) One big problem which has been there since the beginning is that transparent PNG files just don't work on Windows Explorer. My apologies. A fix exists and I'll try to get it implemented soon. But I have to admit that being primarily interested in the Macintosh and having been to enough Windows-only websites, I just ain't in that big a hurry. Leading to the next big thing: Explorer for the Macintosh - or as I like to call it "Exploder". Basically the CSS on this site fails miserably on my copy of Explorer. So if you aren't running Safari by now...

Well I have finally switched the website over to being run by drupal. There still may be a few glitches here and there. The CSS isn't ready and some odds and ends remain to be done. I'll probably install the cron task right after this. Later I'd like to use the launchd services maybe. Sendmail isn't working today so the new user accounts are basically broke until new users can get their temporary passwords mailed to them. I'll be taking care of that in the coming days along with the return of the son of the old website CSS. But basically I'm ready to get back to programming. I have some things to work on. Hopefully I'll have some ¡Toro! screenshots ready in the coming weeks to post here. And let me know if you need a drupal site of your own!

Don't back away. I'm talking about a Content Management System not a disease. Drupal is finally up and running and being tested on my server and just as soon as I check it out thoroughly I'll probably redo my web site using it. Hopefully my next post will be something drupally.
