Recently I’ve been doing some more “in depth” work with Drupal and I must say I’m very impressed with the power and flexibility of the software. My only problem is that it takes a little while to get my head around some of the new concepts and terminology that Drupal uses. Coming from a Wordpress background (in terms of my most used CMS) I’d say that Drupal is the better choice for any significantly complex CMS site, while Wordpress is much easier to set up and use for a more blog-oriented site. If you haven’t checked out Drupal yet, do yourself a favour and have a look. To save some time and hassle, just install the CCK and Views modules straight away – they’re very handy to have.

This is something that has bothered me for many years now and is so absurdly simple and silly that I finally feel the need to rant about it on the interweb. I love Minotaur but I really, really wish they would stop putting their damned price stickers on the product itself, rather than on the shrinkwrap. I mean, for a store that basically survives off niche markets, which are far more likely to be composed of collectors, it doesn’t make any sense to me that they would basically damage the merchandise they’re selling.
Now I would like to start by saying that I’m a big fan of both comics and, for the most part I don’t mind the rivalry between the two comics and the similarities between them. Occasionally though I come across a comic that is just way too close for comfort.
According to the ABC website the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s (ACCC) legal action against Google no longer includes the global internet company’s Australian and Irish subsidiaries.
Say what? I didn’t realise the ACCC had a problem with Google’s search results!
PC Perspective has an excellent article entitled Rendering Games with Raytracing Will Revolutionize Graphics that goes through some of the progress made on real-time ray tracing engines and what the future might hold, at least according to Intel. If you don’t know what ray tracing is, the Wikipedia has the dirt as usual.
