Designing and developing a social network
Remember what I said in my New Years post about releasing something big and serious? Well, it might be a bit premature to mention this, but a friend and I are looking at throwing together a social site built around a certain type of activity. (No, it's not sex.) Details are (purposely) light at the moment, but as things progress I'll be talking more and more about it, no doubt.
Boldly going where no social network has gone before
I broke my month-long boycott of Facebook today. Within 45 minutes, I scheduled my account for deletion. Good riddance, I say!
Site tweaking time again
Update: Poll's closed. I've changed the site over to the cleaner, alternate look, despite having almost no votes (for either).
If you’ve been reading this site since before this week, you may have noticed I’ve just rearranged both sidebars on the site. I’ve also made a couple changes regarding style in a few of the modules coldacid.net uses. And I have some other changes I’d like to make as well, one of which I’m leaving up to everyone.
Drupal's poor design
While I’ll no doubt get lots of flames from Rob about this, I’m not afraid of saying that Drupal sucks as it is right now. That’s not to say it’s not getting better (for sure, it is) but a lot of problems that I and others have with Drupal stem from some poor basic design choices, which would require a stupendous amount of work to fix. Hiveminds Magazine covers a few reasons for why Drupal isn’t as good as it could be.
