Sunyata Centre

The update of the Sunyata Retreat Centre is complete thanks to the efforts of Heather and the centre managers Bart & Marion.  I think I can safely believe that the site is in good hands as Heather takes over some of the foreground work that I had been doing previously.

Updates: Events list, Registration Form, Admin interface, theme layout, email address, removal of repetitious information, Ability to register/book for retreats/events online via credit card or laser card, general site clean up.

Today I was struck by how easy it is to help others.  For one, I was feeling rather low as am currently hunting for that perfect job that best utilizes my unique background of chemical engineering, science, and computers (not so much).  Got a hair cut and had a lovely chat with the hairdresser.

It has been awhile since I've posted anything technical!

I'm working on adding a donate feature to the Sunyata Retreat Centre website.  This involved downloading the latest Ubercart module for Drupal 6.x and looking up all the modules that may or may not help in setting up the feature.

After a quick change in theme (different from the one I posted earlier) - the Spirit Centre in Galway have a new website which they are in the process of populating with their event data.  I think it looks fresh and clean and suits the people running the centre as well as those who would want to attend their events.  So ends my run at web designing for the two not-for-profit organizations (to include the Sunyata Retreat Centre which is a registered charity) as well as my trai
