Log into Drupal - Go ahead: I dare ya.

I think this week, I may do a deeper exploration of Mod X, in case my 2002 assessment of Drupal turns out to be accurate.

Drupal According to a Newbie

[UPDATE: This piece is almost 4 years old. I plan on doing a large scale update soon relevant for Drupal 6] I have been tasked with figuring out Drupal, this great but painfully cryptic CMS. What do I think? What have I found? Read on... Forgive this breathless overview of Drupal. I have been wracking my brains to figure out how Drupal does its thing. A first glance it looks like a regular CMS like PostNuke. Then you scratch beneath the surface and Drupal almost looks like it comes out of one of those scenes out of a sci-fi movie: the hero picks up a clear crystal and inserts into a control panel to magically make the spaceship go into hyperspace. What I'm saying is that the deft behind-the-scenes work that Drupal does really amazed me. I've been working up notes for my fellow developers in a Drupal project and I wanted to share now what I have uncovered. There is much more depth to come and much more information to be found elsewhere on this site. If you're like me (a PHP

Mongo Want Candy!

I have been interested by the concept of NoSQL. Having lived and breathed relational databases for the last 12 years, an alternative could be welcome. Then Mongo rides into town. The MongoDB is a relatively new database system from the NoSQL movement. The NoSQL concept reemerged after Eric Evans and Johan Oskarsson did work on Last.fm. They wanted to organize an event to discuss open source distributed databases. NoSQL architectures provides weak consistency guarantees such as eventual consistency. That's the "E" in the BASE concept, as opposed to the ACID concept that seemed to be the way to go. NoSQL systems find it easier to deploy distributed architecture, with the data being held in a redundant manner on several servers. That allows the data services to be scaled up easily by adding more servers. Here's how I got Mongo to come to town: I went to the Mongo site . I went to the repository and downloaded the MongoDB engine that I needed. The suggestion is that y

Linux or Microsoft

Ever wonder if you're looking at Linux or Microsoft driven website? There are two ways to figure this out. The best way: go to Netcraft.co.uk put the domain name into the "What is that site running?" The fast way: change the case of one character in page name (e.g from "index.htm" to "Index.htm"). If you can see the same page, it's a Microsoft page. If you get a "Page Not Found" it's a Linux page.
