general

Its been a while, hasn't it?

Its been a long time, hasn't it? I thought I should write something so that you don't think that maybe I passed away or something. Heh.

So what have I been doing during the time that I have been silent, well nothing interesting actually. I have been working on a large project and am about to move onto another largish project. All Drupal of course, which is really nice.

EO ReDesign

Q. Why does Espresso Online look so tatty?

A. I am busy redesigning the site. I did not like the old look very much. It looked far to blog like and I am trying to point this site in a more Magazine type website.

Anyway, I should have the site ready by Monday.

tuwoo - what am i doing?

Some people have asked me what I am doing with Tuwoo, as it started out as a Twitter type clone system. Well I got bored of trying to write a Twitter clone as it seems a little superfluous. I mean, what is the point - everyone uses Twitter (even though we all moan) and I do not really see that changing anytime soon. Why would someone use my system when all of their friends are using Twitter??

tuwoo beta 1

i have been spouting about tuwoo for months now, but i have finally released beta 1. You can have a look here: www.espresso-online.info/tuwoo.

I have changed the function of the app to make it very simple, it is now similar to something like pastebin.com, just that the notes/lists are protected.

I am thinking about adding some form of sharing sometime in the near future, but i am still contemplating as to how best to implement it.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007

I have been looking at Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 OWA (Outlook Web Access) today. We use Ms Exchange Server 2003 in our office, havnt gotten round to updating to the latest version, one of the problems being that we would need to update our server to an x64 version of Ms Small Business Server.

Asterisk using Drupal

The asterisk.org website and all other sub websites is using Drupal.

a few changes

Im sure that by now you have noticed that Espresso Online has found some new clothes. Why, you all shout? because the older version of this theme was getting a little bland - needed some color.

tell me what u think please. nighty night :)

ReVerse App

whats ReVerse App? well simply, it collects the BibleGateway Verse-of-the-Day using the RSS provided and then stores them in a database. This allows you to look at an archive of Verse-of-the-Day verses.

You can have a look at the Beta over here: www.espresso-online.info/reverse

please tell me what you think as well as I am keen to make it very useful :)

Bob Dylan using Drupal

www.bobdylan.com is using Drupal. cool huh?

Peril at End House - My review

I wrote about the Agatha Christie - Peril at End House - show performed by Silvermine Academy in a post below (www.espresso-online.info/site/node/77). This morning I went to see the show, and my first opinion is that it was a really great show. I would give it a 4/5.

The last show is just now - at around 17h30. It was in the Sun Valley Primary hall, which is a nice and big hall, the last time I was in that hall was for a Pinocchio show a long time ago. The chairs get a little sore after a long time, but that was not too bad, as there was a 20 minute break after Act 2.
