I made a tumblr blog. I wanted to see if there’s a way I can get my tumblr feed to create posts in Joomla.
If this works out I’ll be posting through here and maybe link this up with my twitter account.
Winter '010

Old man Winter was pretty quiet most of the season until this week.
Here our oil tank is totally covered.
I managed to dig the mailbox out. The box was popped off and under a couple of feet of drift. Now I can receive bills! Hooray!
Joomla Update Manager

Kind of excited to find this. It's an automatic update tool for your Joomla install. Reminds me of the updater you can get for Wordpress. I just used it to update to 1.5.15 and it worked great!
I did run a quick Joomlapack backup before running it of course.
Here's the link: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/installers/9332
Joomla Zen (Naked) Theme
Sunday, 13 December 2009 22:02
I kind of left this project on the shelf for a bit. Tonight I worked up a bit of a stripped-down version of what I had in mind. This I think will be useful as a bare-bones framework for building a theme. It's fixed-width (960 pixels wide) but with a little adjustment it can be any width.
The main divs inside the fixed wrapper include a header, footer, left column, and a main column with an optional right column. The main column ID name depends on whether any modules are positioned in the right column.
I'd like to push this a bit further with the next version. It would be great to make it so the user can select in the Joomla template manager whether to make this a fixed or fluid-width layout. I'm looking at how the ja_purity template handles this. I would draw some inspiration from how the Wordpress theme Thesis works. That idea could possibly take me into an entirely different direction.
So at any rate, you can download the current version (1.0.0) here.
EDIT: 1/02/10...
Completely reworked this theme. Made a few improvements and adhered more closely to Joomla's stock template's module positions. I think this gives you an even better starting point.
Download it here.
Shodan Test

I took my aikido black belt test back in May at the Spring seminar in Monteal. It was hosted by Aikido De La Montagne. That was my second trip up to that particular seminar. This time I brought my wife and kiddos. Except for tromping through the rain a bit we had a great time.
The video was taken by my son Remington. It's kind of blurry at times because the camera is very temperamental.
Oh and I passed! :D
