I mentioned a while back that I installed Windows XP on my laptop using Boot Camp, but that I had exceeded the number of times that I could activate my copy of Windows.

The Internet activation told me that my license was no good any more,  the automated phone bot told me that my license was no good any more, the live phone person told me that my license was no good anymore.  Instead of caving, I told him exactly why that statement was ridiculous (valid XP license, using it on ONE machine, legally and all that).  And he shut up and handed me an activation code.

 Big step forward for me... I even got a little indignant (it's amazing how the prospect of paying another $150 for something you already have can do that). 

 Oh, and I continue to want Call of Duty 4 pretty badly. *drums fingers till Mac release in May/June* 

As many of you know, Stef maintains her alter ego Eat Sleep and Run, targeted more at friends interested in the day to day doings of a mom. I've decided to take up blogging lessons I learn and documenting problems I solve in the course of my web development work.

Most of the posts will be strongly Drupal related. Anyway, if you're interested, drop by and check it out in the coming weeks; I look forward to making it as useful as possible.  You can find my technical posts at Eat Sleep and Code; it will also function as a business/portfolio site for my work.

Hi everyone,

I spent some time this evening hacking on the Flickr module for the website. I reformatted things so that the pictures show up a bit nicer, and the image popups will now let you scroll through all the photos in the set (or for the sidebar block, all the photos in the block). You can see the previous and next buttons by mousing over the picture.

I've also added some code that changes the font size for the tag cloud at the bottom of the main photos page here. Bigger font size means more pictures.

Finally, I've tweaked the theme a bit. Since we put a picture of Rachel up, it's of course done in pink and purple for now :)

Enjoy! -J

I'm making progress on making photos work again! I've taken some existing code and used and learned from it to write my own module to pull our Flickr photos and allow us to show them on the website. It's not done yet, but it's already useable. If you wish to see the photos we currently have in Flickr, log in or create an account, then click the Photos link on the right.
