SITE NEWS

I'm excited to update the site design for sleepingmonk.com in preparation for the metamorphosis so Version 3.0.

The new version will begin to take steps towards my original vision of what sleepingmonk.com could be. I can't say much about it yet but the near future will bring new unique content, tools and interaction, combined with the inovative use of web technology to create something valuable to you.

Sorry, but this section of the site is not yet complete. You are using the sleepingmonk.com Ver. 3.0 interface as a sneek preview of what is to come.

Up till now, sleepingmonk.com has primarily been my blog and online portfolio. Soon it will be what I always intened it to be. To find out what that is, please bookmark the site and check back in the near future. OR subscribe to the SITE NEWS rss feed at this location for automatic updates of the latest sleepingmonk.com related news.

I recommend the firefox browser for its "live bookmarks" feature which will subscribe you to a rss feed with two clicks and update your bookmarks whenever the site has new content. There are MANY other reasons to use the FREE, Award Winning, Firefox browser. For more information see getfirefox.com .  continue reading... »

Ok, it's been a while since the last post. I could say sorry but one of my favorite pieces of advice is, "Don't say sorry, just do better!"

Well, it's been a busy summer. Lots of fun things, and lots of thinking got done. Some of that thinking lead me towards the next incarnation of sleepingmonk.com.

Sure, right now it's kinda snazzy and I enjoy doing what I do here, but when I first came up with sleepingmonk.com I had a feeling about what it should be and that feeling began to form thoughts and now those thoughts are starting to come together into something.

Currently sleepingmonk.com isn't much more than a blog and only offers my rants, blurbs, opinions, occasional reviews and sometimes help with your web projects. Soon it will do MUCH more and will join the ranks of the < a href = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0" target = "_blank" >"Web 2.0" set and hopefully grow into something really useful to my fellow man.  continue reading... »

Just launched the new site layout! I hope you like it.

The Drupal CMS is throwing me some curve-balls but mostly on admin pages. I think I've fixed everything that would affect the average user but if you happen to notice anything "breaking" the layout somewhere, please feel free to contact me with details.

Thanks, and look forward to some new stuff coming from sleepingmonk.com SOON!

Just rolled the site over to Drupal 4.7beta6. I've been playing with it for about a week. It seems stable enough for me. Hopefully I haven't missed anything really buggy. :-)

I'm really impressed with the power and versatility of the Drupal content management system. I highly recommend it for anyone with a medium to large sized web project in the works. Of course, if you need someone to do your site, don't hesitate to contact me. :-D

It's pretty complicated and has a bit of a steep learning curve even for someone who is familliar with PHP, but once it's set up, it works like a charm. And now that I know the system, set up can be pretty quick.  continue reading... »
