How's it going folks!

I'd like some feedback regarding jbClan (jbApp/jbRoster). I'm working on getting a stable release of jbClan v3.03 out the door, but I've been thinking of discontinuing development of jbClan after this release. Would you please be kind enough to respond and answer a few questions?

I've decided it's time to make the switch to Drupal.

All I've been doing this past month is going through "Pro Drupal 7 Development", and I've fallen in love.

I've got most of the software I need for development and general computer use on my 8gig USB drive. The great thing about this is I have my favorite applications and custom settings no matter what computer I'm using.

Here's a list of the software I've installed and links to their downloads or setup instructions. Some of them have some tweaking to get them working, so if you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an email.

I haven't been around for a while due to a sickness in the family. Time has allowed no free time until now.

I should have some hours in the week opening up for development time again (fingers crossed). If you post in the forums, PM me or send me an email, it might take a couple days to get back to you, so please be patient, I will be responding to all inquiries.

Let me know if there are any issues that need to be addressed. Two issues that I will be looking at are:

Graphic Design is my weak spot. Give me a text editor and a server and I'll work wonders, but put Photoshop or Inkscape in front of me and I'll give you deformed stick figures lol.

I need to pick a Graphic Designers brain while working on a Theming System for the Open Source CMS I'm working on. I've thought of adopting either the Blueprint or 960 CSS framework, and then adding my own custom CSS ID's and Classes that Themers will need to use to create their own Custom Themes.

I've been working on a two in one project in my free time. I've been working on a Social Networking web site for gamers. I also plan on releasing the custom CMS (Content Management System) I've been working on that will be the backend/infrastructure of the site.

I thought I'd elaborate a little more on my plans for the Social Networking Web Site for Gamers that I've been working on.

At first I'm going to focus on FPS Clans and MMORPG Guilds. A Clan/Guild leader will be able to sign up for their own "Den" (my terminology for web space). The Clan/Guild Leader will be able to choose a pre-built theme or create their own custom theme. They will be able to install plug-ins that will be individual to their own "Den", and they will have control over where menus/blocks are displayed.

The progress with "jbWebWare.com v2.0" is coming along nicely, if a little slower than we had anticipated. Due to the longer transition time, we will be re-opening the Forums and Bug Tracker.

I've started This Thread to let you know what we already have planned for "jbWebWare.com v2.0". Please stop by and let us know what you'd like to see added.

All's Quiet On The Eastern Front, What's Up With That?

I'm sure you've noticed some changes around here lately, the two main changes being the disappearance of the forums, and a lack of blog posts.

Don't worry, all is not lost, and I've still been working hard in the depths of the jbWorld. In fact, so much so that it's taken my attention away from my open source dev and support.

Do Pirates and Ninjas use Emacs or Vi?

Here's an article I stumbled upon while in one of my many "need to stretch the brain and browse aimlessly" moods during a recent coding session of mine. This particular article takes more of a scientific approach, rather than a biased view, that looks into the pyche of Emacs and Vi users.
