Review
Make me a static website with an easy to maintain professional look, you ask? Well, look no further than using Drupal Gardens for this task. I just finished putting together the foundation pages for the future SWSA site (still in the process of transitioning but will post links once its up and running). Deciding on a very white paper clean and crisp theme was no problem. Copying the data over (consisted of perhaps 7 pages in total so far), ridiculously easy. On the go theme building, priceless.

Just finished moving the content from the Galway Gospel Choir website (http://galwaygospelchoir.com, D6) to Drupal Gardens, D7.  The final change-over should happen soon!  My 2nd completed site moved to Drupal Gardens was a snap.  The easy to manipulate rotating banner gave me a little bit of work theme-wise.  Otherwise, most of the content transfered over with copy and paste seamlessly.  I was very impressed with the media gallery as you can post not only site content but also photos and videos (i.e. youtube) with external links!  All without having to install anything.  Two thumbs up!

So, it's been just over six months since I planned it. It's been over 15 years that I've been wanting it. It's been 14 days since I had it. Breast Reduction Surgery. There, I said it.

Sunyata Retreat Centre (D6), adding audio MP3s

I was contacted by the managers at Sunyata asking whether I could set up a page listing MP3 recordings which they could upload after recording from their hosted talks and sessions. I initially thought that this would be a difficult endeavor requiring me to install a new module (I haven't meddled with my D6 sites aside from keeping them up-to-date for some time now).

It's been 4 weeks since the surgery and thanks to the long Thanksgiving weekend I've had an extra week at home to give my seams more time to set. Working as a research technician isn't the same as your average desk job. Upon returning to work with the instruction of "Don't lift more than 5lbs and don't raise your arms above your shoulders!" I was dismayed to realise that EVERYTHING in the lab is located above shoulder reach and most boxes of stocks, which I tend to manage and distribute, are heavier than 5lbs. I'm learning a new life lesson: KNOW WHEN TO ASK FOR HELP.

There are dozens of free QR Code Generators out there.  The one I used was at http://www.barcodesinc.com/ and uses the Google Chart API.
