Drupal Is Awesome

I don’t know why I didn’t just listen to other developers sooner — Drupal is amazing. It’s taken me a solid two weeks to really get my head around the functionality and modules (especially Views), but, man, this thing is going to change my life. And I’m sure I’ve only broken the surface of its potential.

WP is probably still the simplest and most-customizable for the straight-up single publisher, but, for anything community-oriented (user accounts, forums, etc.), Drupal has to be the best out there.

Only (main) complaint is the lack of official overarching documentation. Seems like every nasty little bug can only be fixed by extensive Google searches and random, one-off forum discussions. But that’s the nature of open-source stuff, I guess.

At any rate, Drupal is awesome, and I am looking forward to this whole new world of possibility.

Not Finished, But The Studio Is Taking Shape

Spent a day cleaning up this area, which was previously filled with tools and paint buckets. I still have to finish that window bench (an upcoming weekend project), but, in the meantime, I’ve got a place to finally get around to learning to paint! (Sorry for the low-res photo… quick shot with the iPhone.)
