An update for the Drupal content management system has just been released. This is only a minor update, however since it includes some security fixes, all Drupal installations should be upgraded to this latest version. Further details can be found here on the Drupal website http://drupal.org/drupal-4.7.4.

Being a good developer, I have undertaken to upgrade my sites to the latest version. This site has now been successfully upgraded with only a few minutes downtime, and no problems were experienced. Thanks to those involved in coding the fixes and packaging the release.

Although I've known about it for quite some time, it was only last week that I decided to join up on last.fm. Last.fm is a neat social website that lets you share your listening habits with the rest of the world, find people with similar taste, and discover music that you might like - including unsigned artists.

Check out what I'm listening to here: last.fm/user/rkendall.

There is already a Drupal group there as well, with a few familiar faces and names, and lots of other groups, if you are into a certain 'thing'.

Above is an automatically generated chart of recent tracks that I have listened to. Last.fm has a few handy tools like this. Now it makes me think I should have included a sidebar when I redesigned the website.

OK, the music on this clip is pretty bad, but you have to admit that this is pretty cool: Using virtual reality video goggles to fly an R/C plane. I should get my Dad onto this, he would love it. (rather have him crash an R/C than his homebuilt)

I have been using the del.icio.us web service to save my webpage bookmarks for quite some time now, and have now collected over 1000 links. The 'tag cloud' is a neat way to view all the categories they are organised into, and it gives an idea of what kind of websites I visit most often click 'read more' to view the tag cloud...

Or is that "Look, New Website" :)

Thanks to Amy - who designed me a nice koala logo and helped with planning the graphic layout and colours - I have now launched my new look website.

Generous use of whitespace, gives the eyes a place to rest. Most websites these days have way too much clutter and information on every page. I hope you enjoy the simpler and friendlier design.

Well that's what I heard anyway :)
