I've been trying to use the Drupal project module for managing my projects here on the site, but unfortunately there seems to be a problem with it that prevents me from putting up project releases. Hopefully a final release for Drupal 5 sites will be available shortly.

Since I use LinkedIn to keep what effects to an online resume and rolodex, having good advice on how to improve my use of the service is always useful.

He encouraged, in his e-mail, to write MPs to block the bill.

I'm embarassed to admit that I was responsible for it from the beginning, when I tried to use CCK to make my own project and release node types. Now that I've finally admitted that I could have been (and was) responsible for the problem, it was quickly fixed, and you're now able to download my works right from the site.

For one thing, you can now see the latest headlines from a selection of blogs that I read. As well, I've restored my Great Games Experiment badge to the site, although I'm avoiding having it in the sidebar for now while IE rendering issues are settled in Drupal.

I preordered quite some time ago, back when a deluxe edition was still in the plan, but since that got canned I now have two copies of BESM 3e (one of which will likely grace Frazer's bookshelf shortly).

That makes three concurrent projects not counting any games I'm working on. Anyway, Resume Builder is the name of the project, and it helps you create and maintain a resume. (It certainly won't help you bake a cake.) It's based on the idea that content and presentation should be seperate, and that a person may want to make and keep tailored versions without risking the loss of those custom resumes.

DirectSetup for Inno (formerly ISX DSetup DLL) is an extension for Inno Setup that allows you to easily integrate DirectX updating to your Inno-based installer. I'm planning to add some more features to the project in the near future.

I've been held up by a lack of a dial/knob control for the UI, but I've been playing around quite a bit with the Windows Media Player SDK and making decent enough progress towards adding the "radio" functionality.
