Drupal WebPurify Module

Through my employer, ChapterThree, I've released a WebPurify module for Drupal. At the moment it only allows filtering of comments, but it exposes an API for other developers to extend. Due to the project requirements it's a D5 module. If anyone has some free time, submit a patch for D6.

Run C code in a web browser?

I think I might have just passed out for a second or two. I love the C programming language, and I rather hate most browser-side scripting languages. Can this article be true? Did I dream it up from a lack of oxygen? I may have to stop making dirty comments about flash "programming".

Sales Guy vs. Web Dude

This has got to be THE best tech support humor out there. The guys over in #sv2600 on irc.2600.net pointed me to it.

Server outage

Anyone trying to reach this site (I know there are so many of you), will have noticed that the server has been unreachable. The RAID controller crapped out, and then the restore from backup had to go through a 1000Mb switch that was forcing a 100Mb connection.

Drupal 5 Gradebook/OG_Gradebook

I FINALLY ported the Gradebook and OG_Gradebook modules to Drupal 5. They are still marked development and need massive of testing. Please feel free to try it out and submit bugs and features requests.

New for D5:

  • The Assignment module has gone away in favor of D5's custom node type framework. You just need to tell GradebookAPI which node types are 'assignments'.
  • The Gradebook list menu item is now marked 'suggested'. You can enable it it in the Menus module.
  • Gradebook lists are now sortable and pageable. If you have many gradebooks, this really helps.
  • The Gradebook 'term' attached to an assignment now links back to the Gradebook, rather than the vocabulary.
