UPDATE: Formatting was really, really screwed up. (I did enter the urls by hand, so that might be a problem. But so are the lack of paragraph breaks scribefire outputted - it put br/ in there, but Drupal didn't do anything with it.

And no tags, which is a deal-breaker.
/UPDATE

Just a test to see if scribefire works for my Drupal site. (It should.)

I will admit it took me a while to figure things out My biggest hurdle was the BlogAPI module that I had to enable. Well, not just enable, but configure. (Drupal likes its settings! Thanks to the Bulahema site for the settings page tip.

PacktPublishing recently announced the finalists for the 2008 Open Source CMS Award and much to my surprise WordPress wasn't among them! (Click here for the nomination page.)

Drupal and Joomla! are there, and it might be a fight for the Best Overall and Best PHP between the two of them. (My votes went to Drupal, of course!)

UPDATE: Google has changed its EULA and removed the section that I quoted below. Section 11 currently reads (in whole):

11. Content license from you

11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.

END UPDATE

I'd avoid Chrome for a while because, it seems, Google wants to own you. At least, in their new browser's Terms and Conditions page

11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to display, distribute and promote the Services and may be revoked for certain Services as defined in the Additional Terms of those Services.

11.2 You agree that this license includes a right for Google to make such Content available to other companies, organizations or individuals with whom Google has relationships for the provision of syndicated services, and to use such Content in connection with the provision of those services.

I'm no lawyer, but that sounds pretty scary. Not only scary, but something Microsoft would do.

So Google finally made it into the browser wars. The company that seems hell-bent on taking the world away from Microsoft (I guess I can't really complain about that) has released a beta version of Chrome. I have yet to check it out since it's only available for Windows and I rarely use my old dying Dell anymore. (I will say that the tabs in the screenshot look damn ugly.)

Chrome Features.

ZenPhoto, my favorite open source stand-alone photo gallery, has released version 1.2. (Changelog here.)

The Habari project just released version 0.5 of its blogging software!

You can download Habari from this link or you can read more about the project here.

I just enabled the "nofollow" tag on the website URLs commenters leave. Now, when Google announced "nofollow" as a way to deter spam, I knew it wasn't going to be effective at getting rid of the stuff. And I was right. Matt as WordPress, which jumped on the "nofollow" bandwagon with a lot of flag-waving and ticker-tape parades, had to create Akismit to help with comment spam.

If "nofollow" was effective, we wouldn't need all these alternatives. But we do.

FireFTP at Mozilla.org

FireFTP, the FTP program that I use on my Mac, has released version 0.99.1 that is compatible with Firefox 3. This release includes SFTP!

First Microsoft tries to buy Yahoo!, now Yahoo! raises their domain renewal rates.

Important note: Beginning on July 1, 2008, Yahoo!'s annual domain renewal price increases to $34.95 per year.

If this is accurate would this be considered Highway Robbery? Or do they think their customers are fools? Can they really justify that large an increase? Or are they just being greedy and hope their customers don't Google for GoDaddy.com?

For example, I believe that the Computer Gods have found favor in me again and granted me access to the internet from my Mac Mini.

All hail the cybergods!
