Why is it that Firefox has a debugging add-on that supports Drupal development but we yet have to see a Drupal add-on that supports writing for a Drupal site? It's in times like this I so wish I were a coder.

The problem arises with the myriad of input formats Drupal has just by default (forum, blog, story) that gets complicated when you then throw in the forms for Event and or Calendar, Image, Audio, Video, Storylink, Quotes, Recipes, and all the customized formats possible with the Content Construction Kit (aka, CCK).

And then there's the little detail of taxonomies.

ScribeFire works amazingly well just for the blog, page, story, formats AND only if you have a relatively small amount of categories (in the low hundreds). If you have more than 300 categories, the add-on is incapable of reading them all. Not only that, when it does read the categories it outputs them as selections --it really doesn't allow you to search through all your categories and choose only the ones you need. It neither allows you to add new ones on the fly.

Meet Aiko, the "perfect girlfriend". She cooks and cleans, she does everything you want her to do and, oops, she can't escape --the little thing has supple skin and a MacVoice but no ability to walk.

No problem though, she has an awesomely sexay feature : if you reboot her at the right time, you can have her simulate an orgasm.

Best part? You don't have to use condoms while you're raping her!

And she comes at the low price of $28,000 USD.

I honestly don't believe the thing can do half the things the inventor says she can. Yet it's obvious this is just a high end sex toy.

MARK NAPIER
new software art and prints

bitforms gallery

(btw. 10th & 11th avenues)

If you live at a relative stone's throw from the Empire State Building, what does the ultimate symbol of capitalism become before your very eyes? How is this place tranformed by digital culture after 9/11?

In the creative mind of Mark Napier, the ESB is a cyclops formed of brick and mortar yet powered by flesh and cicuits. It is a symbol of a crumbling physical power caught in the webs of immateriality forged by software and the net. It is the very essence of the shifting structures of power.

Mark has been at work on this project for about 2 years now. It's interesting and horrific to live with a working artist. There is no reason for him to code the software that created the print for the sites or the actual artwork, yet it's more than just like a disease. He codes because he has to. That's how he builds his sculptures and paints his digital canvases.

I can't comment any further on this show beucause I haven't seen the show installed. Tonight should be as interesting to you as it will be to me.

Please come for the art, but more importantly, come meet the "Mr.

I am having one heck of a time with my upgraded version of Firefox. It runs like molasses with my site and it keeps crashing. Anybody having similar problems?

Now you know what happens when I get my period.

I get totally mysanthropic and the energy that I throw out there comes back in the way of imploding websites, giant zits, stupid rants and cyatic pain with more imploding technology.

It's like I'm Charlie Brown and blogs are my kites. The blogosphere hates me, I hate it back. The problem is that we are both obstinate, opinionated and egotastical and neither of is backing down.

The post "Cry me a river" is gone along with JJ's last post (the one that for some reason made the site implode). Somehow the comments are in the database, so I'll gather those around soon.

I'm just going to say this : I grew up with Charlie Brown and I could totally relate to his losing his temperament a lot of the time along with his stubborness and his seeming inability to back down.

Lucy also had those qualities but the difference between Lucy and Chuck was that Lucy always had control of the ball and she always took it away from him.

When Charles Schultz died, it broke my heart that he did so without giving Chuck the happy ending. Charlie Brown never got to tell the little red haired girl how he felt. Charlie Brown also went out without ever feeling his feet punt just for once against that pig skin.
