What a week

What a week it’s been. I’ve been running full blast since my last post a week ago. The reason is that I’m trying to finish up the main bulk of one of the web/database projects at work. It needs to be finished within the next four days. Once that’s complete, the big project begins.

The big project is the Cisco Clean Access implementation. I’m in charge of setting it up at 16 locations (schools, offices, etc.). I’ve already started configuring one of the management servers with the base, or global, policies. I’ll start configuring the site servers on Tuesday. The site servers will hold the site specific policies.

I’ve also been helping a friend with his website. He’s trying to use WordPress as a CMS because he’s tried CMS’ like Joomla and Drupal but found them too difficult. His site is pretty basic so he’s going to use the WordPress pages feature for most of his content. He hasn’t decided if he wants to create any blog post. If he does, he can set one of the static pages as the blog display.

It’s been fun helping him out. I’ve started learning a little more about web design and PHP. Those are two things I’ve been wanting to learn but haven’t found the time. Most of the work is tweaking an existing template in order to have it display the way he wants. We’re both learning as we go.

Here’s to a three day weekend. The calm before the storm. :)

    I, too, am having issues with Drupal these days. Part of it is that it is changing so much from version to version, but it really is getting extremely complex. Too complex for most of the things people want to do with it.

    On the other hand, it is capable of doing incredible things. I guess it’s just that it’s more “community” software and a “framework” now than a CMS.
