With OSInet focusing more heavily now on Drupal services, the company is now offering internships for students interested in working on Drupal.
First things first, I've offered to mentor for the Google Summer of Code, and would be specifically interested if a student picked up the live Drupal backup project if it came to be approved.

The OSInet team recently attended Solutions Linux, a trade fair focused on FLOSS, and while chatting with a sales engineer from a company specialized in Typo3, got asked which CMS we used, and of course answered "Drupal".
At that point, that person flinched somehow, acknowledging that Drupal was indeed one of the "Big 3" in the CMS space, along with Typo3 and Joomla, but was plagued with security issues making it rather unfit for professional deployment, as opposed to Typo3, which took security issues seriously. Continuing the discussion, it appeared that company has indeed at least acquired some Drupal knowhow too, due to customer request, but the person doing the criticizing was not directly familiar with Drupal.

After almost six months without abuse following the installation of the captcha module, a spammer found its way through it, to promote a ringtones site.
Not that it did him/her much good, since comments are premoderated anyway, but still...
Sheer luck, of astute pattern matching and module workaround ? Oh well, it's still six months of peace gained. Well worth the almost nonexistent hassle, it seems.

In just one drawing, Randall Munroe sums up why you want to think twice or more before giving in to the blanket EULAs you have to agree to when choosing DRM-laden HD content. So why haven't you clicked to see that drawing yet ?
"Approved content". Oh my !

Earlier today, I just happened to go check an article on the PHP-GTK community site using MSIE, which is a fairly infrequent occurrence considering how I spend most of the day in Opera, and noticed the PageRank green bar, which had until now remained at zero as the site was still too recent to be ranked, now had an alluring value...

After drowning my faithful old keyboard with my morning coffee, I had to replace
it and, after taking some time to find a corded keyboard without a zillion useless
keys, without shiny platic, with cursor keys in their standard location, and a
reasonable touch feeling, I bought an OEM version of the
Logitech Internet Keyboard 350 USB
and am indeed quite satisfied with the keyboard look and touch.
No driver
Now, minimal though that keyboard is, it still has these small multimedia keys on top, and under XP they're handled by default. Most choices were just fine, but the media player defaulting to RealPlayer didn't fit my wishes: I'd rather run VLC in these cases to show FreeTV. But the keyboard isn't supplied with a driver, and installing Logitech's setpoint™ actually removes functionality to these keys when compared with the XP default driver. So exit SetPoint and back to the default driver.

Browsing the referers leading to
my blog, I just noticed one of
my recent posts about PHP-GTK2
Console encoding had been noticed by
PHPDeveloper, where the reviewers apparently
take time to actually read feed to which they point to,
instead of merely aggregating them, which allows them to sum
up content for their own readers. Now that's
what one can call a press review.

A few days ago, I was glad to learn that
this blog had been included
in the Planet PHP blogroll. And today, when checking the news,
what did I see ?

Since the designer is still on holiday, I created a fake logo for the upcoming OSInet 5.0 site, due this winter, and tried to give it a Web 2.0 look.
Did it work ? Any suggestions to increase the connotations ?
Hmmmm....
UPDATE 2006-08-28: for Audean.

Find the shiny new release candidate on http://drupal.org/drupal-4.7.0-rc1
Why am I mentioning it here ? Well, much like many others,
I contributed bug reports, some patches, and it's great
to see the project actually nearing its 4.7 landmark.
Maybe it will even allow the new version of
Riff News
to go online in time.
