Fatbluepost

Clearly, I haven’t found much motivation to complete a blog post lately. In my defense, I haven’t been entirely idle. Recently I’ve released two projects related to the excellent Zen starter theme for Drupal: Zenophile lets you create Zen subthemes quickly, and Zen Midnight is a starter theme for themes which will use a light-on-dark color scheme (such as white text on a black background). There’s also been the utilitarian boringness of Menu Clone and Compound Eye (which lets you monitor the status of several Drupal sites at once - or will some day, anyway). Then there’s activities at work; we’ve finally got our own private server (of the virtual sort, for now), so I’ve been having a lot of fun and learning a lot as I’m getting it set up. Linux and Apache? That’s for wussies! We’re running FreeBSD and Lighty! Having full control of HTTP headers and being able to install things like Xcache means that we’re able to serve pages faster than ever before.

On a decidedly less nerdy note, I’ve also created a mini-fansite (it’s only one page long) for one of my favorite new bands, Fatblueman. Check it out here. I’ve included a list of all of their music I could find on YouTube - which is a heck of a lot - so if you’re interested in finding some new candy for your ears, check it out and give some of the vids a lesson. You can even download their albums (legally) for free! Give ‘em a try - maybe they’ll become one of your favorite new bands too.
