Woot! Drupal, Skimmer's

Sorry for the lack of updates this week, I have been…busy.

Yesterday I worked for 10 hours. When I got home I made dinner and then watched Lost. While watching Lost I downloaded all of the elements needed to install Drupal, an open-source content management system. I then spent the next three hours after Lost configuring my USB drive to think it is an FTP server so that I can install Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Drupal to it. Before I finished the night I have a fully functional Drupal system running on my USB drive. It is time to learn it and PHP and make myself a website, of what I don’t know.

Today I got home from work, and then went to dinner. Since then I have been trolling the Woot-off while filling out an application that I have been meaning to fill out all week. The Woot-off has had a lot of USB drives and cameras. Waiting for the bag of crap.

I also have discovered this nifty program called skimmer. When you download it, it asks for your Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Blogspot, and YouTube credentials. Then it refreshes every (however long you set it to), gathering all of your updates from all 5 sites. Apparently you can update all of those accounts from the program. Considering I only have a Twitter and a Facebook account, and I have only used it to update to Twitter, I can only confirm that Twitter works. Will update with how it works when I can further test it out.
