We're in the middle of an upgrade
Location
I've upgraded the site to the latest Drupal. If you come on over and look around, you will find some new interesting features. I still have a lot to do, but just wanted to put it out there for you to try and see if you figure out what's new. Also, I am going to change the design a bit. I am adding a fourth colum to the left and pulling to the front all the blogging tools you have tucked away and in your account pages. It's been very confusing to people how to post articles and were to find their blogging tools. Well, with the new collapsible blocks (oops, gave away one of the new features), we'll be able to have more stuff in the front but without the clutter. So let's make this a forum of wishlists. What do you wish for? BTW : I had to flush the cache and the logs to do this upgrade. You will notice it says there's only a few people online. That should be corrected in the next couple of hours. Also, apologies for any inconvenience the dumping of the logs and cache (and maybe anything you were writing at the time) may have caused to any of you.

We have a new server.
We're working out the kinks with it's configuration and more importantly pageload speed.
No, the path to the FILES folder still needs fixing. Images will still be broken for a few more hours.
We should be done with this mutha tonight.
Enjoy the LOLCat.
GET YOUR LAZYWEB ON : A CRM better than civiCRM and as usable as Highrise?
I am in a bit of bind here, so please Lazyweb, heed my call.
I have more than 5K contacts that I need to organize and map in either discussion groups and/or newsletter mailing lists. The one program that has most of the features I want is civiCRM, but I am so frustrated with how difficult it is to install and it's clunky interface that I am all but ready to give up on it.
What I want is basically Highrise with the ability to make mailing lists and email newsletters or set up discussion groups. Heck, I'll settle for the mass-email feature as long as I can also have it organize my contacts by projects, tasks, relationships and leads. Let's not forget I have to be able to tag my contacts however I want.
And yes, it has to be web application because I need to make it possible for my assistant(s) to work on the database from the comfort of wherever they are.
Does anybody know of a program that does that? Or will I have to use a combination of programs to cobble this stuff together?
We're Busy Fixing The Site
There's going to be a lot of noise here in the next week to ten days. We're doing some major repairs and upgrades on the site that will fix the comment and posting problems we've been having in the last month.
And with that, I leave you with a time-lapse video of a construction site of 1 Bryant Park, on 4nd Street and Sixth Avenue.
Enjoy.

I don't know why they are broken, but we're looking into it.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
We're having some serious difficulties with our server
If you are reading this through RSS because you can't get to our site, please don't take it personally. We are under attack by some really bad, bad spammers and site scrappers (at least that's what it looks like at the moment).
I don't know how long this is going to last, but we're working on it.
