Piköp.hu

With a friend of mine I've started a music instrument related news site Piköp.hu (piköp is a mispronunciation of the pick-up, used by electric guitars and basses). It's in a very early version, but already has some article.

Major upgrade on aries.mindworks.hu

There will be a major upgrade on the aries.mindworks.hu. My pal Imre Ardeleian gives me some authentic, original design and I hope I can dedicate some days to to bring this shitty site to the state-of-the-art level. I feel I can do it if Lord Drupal is on my side. :) Please jitter for me. :)
Now the commenting and some functions are disabled because the bug of the Drupal's Captcha module. There is a note elsewhere about Drupal 5 not using sessions for anonymous users which means captcha has to do something else for anonymous users. Captcha could emulate sessions by placing the generated value in a database keyed by an id that can be carried in the form containing the captcha. Captcha can then be used without sessions for anonymous users who want to add a comment, register, or login, but this function is not implemented. So please be a little patient. Thank you

Two days workshop about Drupal

On thursday and friday this week I'll hold a two days workshop for IT professionals about Drupal's internals in Pécs. It will take 2 x 8 hours . I don't know how can I give interesting, usable knowledge to them, because I don't know them. I trust in my experiences but now I'm downloading great presetations from Tom Peters, Steve Jobs, Takahashi, Mino Montana, Lawrence Lessig, Guy Kawasaki...

I'm not a talented graphician. I'm a bit talented musican but I played away. I'm not the best web programmer and I don't think I'm the best software architect. But I belive in that my hot blood, my vehemence, my strong emotions gives me the opportunity to be one of the best speakers. I think I can use this gift in my future.

Formating a web content without knowledge

My always problem is how to tell a lay client how should a content formatted. The problem is bigger if they has a bit knowledge of HTML, because most of the school teachers a totally idiot in the web world but they don't know it.

Today I got a call from a non-profit org how can they align an image in their content. She don't know anything about CSS or XHTML 1.0 strict, but a very few HTML 3.1. I'm getting very angry for the most of the Hungarian teachers. They are out of date. So she try to format the image with border="0" or other nice attributes. Previously my bad idea was to put a Xinha WYSWYG editor to their Drupal site, but this editor is confused she more.

Moodle templates

Today I play with Moodle templates. One of the weak point of Moodle is the template engine: the login and the layout is not separated, in v1.4 it's a horror to do a good design. For anyone, who's suffering from the same there's a good news: in the forthcoming v1.5 there will be a complete redesign of the template engine. Guys, please hurry up!
