    MotoGPod

    The last couple of weeks, on and off, I've been doing another Drupal site for a podcast that I'm a big fan of. The host already has a website, but is finding it a bit cumbersome to keep editing the HTML by hand, and he sees the advantages of a CMS (comments, automatic RSS feeds, easier to edit, etc).

    So, we created a basic Drupal site, implemented a really simple theme (that's what he wants), enabled a few modules, added a few custom blocks, etc. No programming whatsoever. He was impressed... Then we get to the interesting part:

    Drupal 5.2 has been released, with a couple of important security updates, and a bunch of little fixes (four of them by yours truly). Go grab it, and apply it to your systems.

    Note: if you just copy everything in the archive ontop of your install, you'll need to run update.php - there are a couple of schema changes.

    I just stumbled across a useful tip for you Linux users. If you want to test your websites on IE5, IE5.5, IE6 - it's actually pretty easy to install them under wine. In fact, there's a really tidy script you can find at IEs4Linux. The instructions are simple - just download it, unpack it, execute it, and answer a couple of questions, and you've got the three versions of IE mentioned above, all ready to run from Linux.

    Too cool.

    We are looking for one or more contractors or employees to help us with various Drupal-based projects. The ideal applicant would have at least one year Drupal module development experience, and able to work to our timezone from their location (ideally Australia and New Zealand, but other places considered). As integration and scripting are often part of our projects, unix/linux experience would be advantageous.

    Please send any questions to me at lyricnz[at]gmail[dot]com
