Welcome!

Posted Mon, 2007-03-19 10:11 by Jeffrey

Please be patient. I recently upgraded this site to Drupal 6 and I'm still changing the file handling practices.

If you are visiting for the first time, you might enjoy looking over my 3D models, my timelines, or maybe my professional blog. I am always adding content, so be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed to track areas that interest you.

The World's Technology Podcast

Posted Thu, 2009-07-02 16:33 by Jeffrey

I have listened with great pleasure to PRI's The World: Technology Podcast (WTP) since 2007. The episodes are typically about 30 minutes long and cover a wide range of topics from around the world. Unlike many other netcasts focused on technology, the Tech Pod focuses more on people, societies, cultures and how technology impacts them.

Patrons of Creativity Stock Exchange System

Posted Thu, 2009-07-02 12:14 by Jeffrey

Since 2005, I have been cultivating this idea of a stock exchange system to support creative endeavors and the people involved (the artists and audiences).
[more explanation to come. I need a holding page to begin collecting comments and references.]
 

BYU Removes YouTube Ban

Posted Fri, 2009-06-26 13:45 by Jeffrey

BYU announced the following this morning:

YouTube is now available on the campus of Brigham Young University. Given the educational information and materials available on the video-sharing service, the University determined to make the service available on campus. The press has been following this issue quite closely, and Carrie Jenkins has released this information to them earlier this morning.

Finally, Open Development for the LDS Church!

Posted Thu, 2009-05-28 18:07 by Jeffrey

I have been hoping that the Church would open up some of their projects to outside help. Last week, Joel Dehlin announced that the church unit websites will soon be more open to general development.
This is welcome news. It's a good step in the right direction. Next, I hope they open-source the Membership & Leadership System (MLS). That would be fantastic!

Free Issues of Solar Today!

Posted Wed, 2009-04-22 12:04 by Jeffrey

As a birthday present in 2006, my wife gave me a subscription to the Solar Today magazine. She knew I was very interested in solar energy and renewable energy at large. I may yet start a business related to that.

The American Solar Energy Society (ASES)

Posted Wed, 2009-04-22 10:44 by Jeffrey

As a birthday present in 2006, my wife bought me a membership in the American Solar Energy Society (ASES). Included with the membership was a subscription to the Solar Today magazine.

I am very interested in solar energy, along with other renewable energies. I had never heard of ASES, or Solar Today.

Repairing the Washing Machine

Posted Wed, 2009-04-15 00:21 by Jeffrey

Today was one of those days when everything works out alright in the end, but certainly gives you a scare!

I had a long day at work; I was up at 6:00. By the end, I was tired, but excited to go home and play with a Macbook Air I'm setting up for a faculty member.

Later in the evening, just as I am completing the initial setup, I notice an odd sound from the laundry room and go to investigate.

I Have Upgraded to Drupal 6!

Posted Sat, 2009-04-04 23:14 by Jeffrey

Despite worrying, planning, and putting-off upgrading this site from Drupal 5 to 6, the actual upgrade took less than an hour, including the backup and migrate. There was only one puzzling hangup. After 15 minutes of searching, I realized that I needed to turn on the taxonomy mod and everything finished upgrading without errors!

I'm still upgrading modules and turning them on, so some site functionality will be missing for a while. I will also take some time to re-architect some of the site and maybe finish some ideas that weren't easy in D5.

Subversion (SVN) Triumph!

Posted Sat, 2009-03-21 14:31 by Jeffrey

I use Bluehost for this web site (and others). My brother and I actually share the account. The service has been very good, overall—it's certainly better than 1&1! However, I recently found one little fault; they do not provide subversion (SVN) support. I don't necessarily need a subversion repository (though that would be nice). Rather, I need to be able to sync with other respositories, particularly for Drupal development.
