Flickr + Lightbox2 + more

in drupal, flickr, module, site news

Finally! Today is the day for Lightbox success! I think it took a Drupal migration to get it all working correctly. All my attached images (Flickr and local) are now viewable in Lightbox. The Flickr module worked in my previous Drupal 5 installation, but with this particular theme, the showcase block up top is an even better place for the recent uploads. With a couple module and css tweaks, it's almost exactly what I want.

Next up: a status updater + block (possibly Twitter integration), color gradient for my tag cloud, a new recipe content type (since the recipe module absolutely sucks), a separate domain for the noms, and more content rescued from Google cache. I love nerdy Saturdays.

Rookie Mistake

in site news

I did it. I deleted the wrong database. I blew away my entire site with the click of one button the other night as I was prepping for a new Drupal migration site. Why didn't I double-check my db configuration before assuming the instance was unused??? Good lord that was stupid. Thankfully Google cache has over a hundred of my stories saved, but what's gone is gone and it's time to rebuild.

So...decision time. Do I recreate all the stories I can dig up? Or do I keep the recipes and start fresh? Good bye, old friends. Hello, new canvas. I'll salvage the goodies and see what I come up with.
