So, I've decided to try out this mollom thing, created by Drupal's fearless leader, Dries.

We'll see how it works, it sounds cool and useful, in theory.

The new admin theme for Drupal 6, Root Candy is HOT. It'll be going on all of my client's installations from now on. Biggest complaint from clients? The admin interface sucks.

Check it out here: http://drupal.org/project/rootcandy

Hacked this theme together out of the Framework theme. I'll be contributing it back to the community once I work out any kinks.

Leave a comment if you find anything messed up with the theme/site.

So, my brief affair with Wordpress has come to an end ... got a new server setup yesterday, and threw D6 up on it since I do a fair amount of Drupal core work and soon will be developing almost exclusively for Drupal professionally.

Also moved over all of the old posts ... manually ... didn't feel like writing a tool to do it when I didn't have much content to move over.

So enjoy the new D6, I've already submitted patches for 2 bugs that I've found :)

I have been doing a lot of work with Drupal lately, have even become a patcher for Drupal core and trying to push Drupal 6 closer and closer to release. I log into my WordPress today to rant about TurboTax, and the first thing that I’m greeted with is:

A new version of WordPress is available! Please update now.

My last post talked about compiling ffmpeg on Ubuntu, for use with Drupal's op_video plugin. I then had to do the same thing on a Debian 4.0 server, and found that I had to compile literally every library from source, which means all of those handy apt-get lines do nothing for you. Here are the packages that you need:

• ffmpeg
• lame

I needed to install the op_video module into a Drupal install today at work, and found that the default Ubuntu install of ffmpeg won't transcode audio properly for FLV files. Here are the steps to compile FLV and create a deb package that will work properly:
