Hi folks.
It’s been quite a while since my last blog post but it’s been hectic at the Grant household. For those not aware, Sarah, Rebecca and I were greatly blessed to recieve another new arrival in the form of baby Hannah.
Hannah arrived on the 7th June at 1pm weighing a healthy 6lbs 14oz - a whole pound bigger than her big sister. Hannah’s settling in nicely and Rebecca is becoming more accustomed to her role as big sister - she still manages to steal the limelight though.
Then my sister arrived from New Zealand with her boyfriend for 3 weeks, so although it has been generally relaxed, I’ve still been on the go quite a bit.
Interesting me this month is Open Atrium - an open-source Intranet solution powered by Drupal. In their words
Open Atrium is an intranet in a box that has group spaces to allow different teams to have their own conversations. It comes with six features - a blog, a wiki, a calendar, a to do list, a shoutbox, and a dashboard to manage it all.
I’ve got a local version running on WAMP at the moment for playing with. I’m never a fan of open-source stuff on production (had an issue with Zen Cart the other week there) so beware before deploying.
I proved today that Twitter does have marketing benefits. A friend of mine runs The Chronicle Company which currently produces a product for fans of Glasgow Rangers - I sent a Tweet to my new Twitter friend Maurice Edu (a Glasgow Rangers player) and as a result, his site is getting quite a few hits and also follows on Twitter. I’d quite like to get involved with revamping the interface for my friend but I’m not into .net at the moment.
Late last month, I completed a project for Berea Bible College an Expression Engine based site. I haven’t yet hooked it into the portfolio yet but I’m sure it’ll appear in the next few days.
Anyways, hope you’re all enjoying the wonderful summer weather we’ve been having.
Take care,
Steven
