In a recently released site we were able to help content editors see the evils of WYSIWYG and the benefits of Markdown. Yeah! This was a big win.
Today I had a staff member who was create a new page in the Drupal implementation and could not get the bullet syntax of Markdown to render real bullets in the content body. Scratched my head a few times and created a test page.
Some of you may already be on the bandwagon but as usual, I’m late to the party. Thanks to beeradb who showed me today the node for Drupal 7 referring to the refactoring of node rendering in Drupal 7. BTW, this is no small task since most of Drupal is about the node. Now in Drupal 7 we will hopefully see more emphasis on fields which is great for us data folks. ;)
Well, just got back from attending the Microsoft 2008 Launch event. Yes, Microsoft! Come on now, most of us in the enterprises still work with Microsoft products daily. ;o)

Since I was not able to make it to DrupalCon Boston 2008 I am trying to find the next best thing. So… as I come across links to presentation slides, audio, video, etc… I am posting them on this page
I’ll keep updating it as I find them and perhaps it can be a resource for you also.
Cheers.
Ran across this one today. Upgrading a site with some custom work from 4.7 to 5.6. Obviously the testing of the upgrade is going on is a development environment but we ran into a problem with anonymous users being denied access.
Well, a quick check of the access control records proved that anonymous users did in fact have the Access Content permission. Hmmmm…. what else could it be.
I am sure you have heard the news by now. Yup, Mysql was acquired by Sun. Can someone say $1 billion? Wow. Sounds like an NPV, is it wise? Well, the open source community seems to be mostly "for" the acquisition and some business analyst seem to be leaning toward "what are they thinking".
