Nucleus2drupal conversion

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

Rading about Drupal migrate.module made me think back to somewhere in 2008. There I was, searching a way to migrate content from Nucleus (version 3.3x) to Drupal 6. Some ‘migrate’, ‘import’ or ‘xxx2drupal’ modules for Drupal could be found, but none of them were suitable for Nucleus source data. It also seemed like some HTML [...]

Flexifilter wiki URL for Drupal

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

The Flexifilter module has a MediaWiki input format that transforms [links] into clickable hyperlinks, with or withouth [AnAlternative|name]. However, this input format is very complex and not very flexible. An existing ‘link component’ patch to flexifilter is much more compact and easier to configure. In my view, that’s the nice thing about flexifilters: you don’t need to dabble [...]

Zou jij dit kunnen weerstaan? Ik wel. Aanvankelijk. Na twee weken werd het me te machtig Update: een helpdesker van Fortis PC Banking weet meer…

Free SMS over Jabber with Twitter

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

I know, the title sound like spam For fun and profit, I decided to check whether you can truly send SMS messages for free using Twitter (Wikipedia). Yes, it does work, except that you can only send to other Twitters — the free part is more about receiving SMSes rather than sending them. So [...]

Apply for your devroom

Monday, November 5th, 2007

FOSDEM 2008 is getting in shape (in sharp contrast to yours truly), and it’s time to think about a developer room and/or booth if your project could use one. Go look at the call for devrooms at the spiffy new FOSDEM 2008 website. Speaker interviews for this edition are planned, but not yet available.

I’ve been reading my “Agile web development with Rails” book, which I bought at FOSDEM in early 2006. It had been lying around half-unread every since. Of course, by now the latest Rails releases have deprecated some stuff that’s recommended in the book, but almost everything is still compatible. Trying out the examples in [...]

Post-FOSDEM

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

It’s been a while, but here are my post-FOSDEM 2007 blabberings. It’s amazing to see how the conference has grown, and how much people the ULB campus can handle… Skimming the blog posts about FOSDEM, some lovely quotes about the conference are revealed. Words like “well organized” and “best I’ve been to” weren’t absent. [...]

The FOSDEM activities have made me put two new graphics files on the interweb. My hackergotchi for Planet Grep and Planet FOSDEM (thanks Ralph for the drop shadow!): Now, I do have to admit that I edited away a part of my “nektapijt” for this (as usual, my hair is in a should-have-been-cut-some-months-ago condition) FOSDEM logo [...]
