I love this album. I'm okay…

I love this album. I'm okay with Maynard not being as in-your-face as previous albums. I would have liked for Justin Chancellor to be more prevalent like he was in 10,000 Days, but he has his moments. He's too good a bassist to not use heavily for bass solo's. Danny Carey is excellent, don't know how he can still jam like that at 58. Adam Jones stepped it up quite a bit with his riffs. 7empest is a top 5 Tool song of all time in my book.

Hope they make another album, but word is that this will be the last. But who knows with these guys....

Does this mean I may need to change my name to Jim Harbaugh's Pinky?

Not saying it is right for coaches to say this to kids, but do not forget that Bo said the same exact thing to Harbaugh when he was late for a meeting. We all know how that worked out...

I'm sure a lot of 5 star tackles read Mgoblog. This is gonna be great for recruiting. I'm betting that Harbaugh will thank you personally for posting this as it will get us some 5 star tackles...

Love this dude!

Worst thing ever to hear on TV when I was in middle school. Loved that show probably a little too much.

I’m sure this was mutual and what’s best for both him and the program. Best of luck to the young man.

Not sure what you mean by…

Not sure what you mean by fixing bugs all at once or in piecemeal. If you can show me a massive piece of software like this site that is completely fault tolerant, free of errors, please let me know.

Bugs are a constant in the development world.

Drupal is not just a website…

Drupal is not just a website framework. It’s a Content Management System (CMS). It allows for someone little software development skills to build highly complex websites with little to no coding. The reason (I’m speculating here) that they chose Drupal is to allow for non-technical folks like some of the writers here to be able to publish content (pages, views, blocks, etc.) that look great and are easily implemented through a simple admin interface that comes standard with Drupal. This allows the higher-ups like Brian to focus on writing and coming up with new ideas without having to worry about the cost of hiring a developer every time he wants to do something new and it doesn’t require writers to know a lot of HTML, CSS, Javascript, etc.

A lot of the functionality they use here comes standard with Drupal, but adding functionality like up/down-voting requires add-ons called modules. Sometimes you can get these modules from drupal.org and use them out of the box. Sometimes you have to hire developers to write custom modules because publicly open-source modules don’t fit your needs.

Migration from one version to another is difficult, but nowhere near the difficulty and time/money cost of starting over from scratch then trying to migrate all of their old content from Drupal to something else. Once you pick Drupal, you really kind of have to stick with it or be ready to pay big bucks to do something else while keeping your old content.

Is there something better? That’s up for debate. Other CMS’s like Word Press are preferred by others, but some argue Drupal is better. Depends on what you want. I like Drupal because of how powerful it is. I work on a website that is probably more complex that 99.9% of websites out there, and it wouldn’t be plausible without the foundation Drupal provides out of the gate. 

Every website has their issues. Not every website has hundreds of thousands of visitors every week, loads of content or a massive forum like MGoBlog has either.

As a Drupal developer …

As a Drupal developer (although with a little less than a year of experience with it), I can say that migration from something as ancient as Drupal 5 to Drupal 8 is not an easy task. Drupal changed A LOT from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8. In fact, it is almost completely unrecognizable. So imagine the hurdle from 5 to 8. Software development takes time, is expensive, and is not at all trivial. Give them time.

Bang me! Oh wait...

Drupal core should come with…

Drupal core should come with some ability to block accounts through the admin interface. Not helpful if you aren’t assigned a role that allows this, but that should be pretty trivial for an admin to assign you as a mod.

Sorry, not trying to jack your thread. Well, maybe I am, sorry.

Gerry DiNardo just tweeted saying that BTN will be at Michigan’s football practice tomorrow. He says coverage starts at 5pm eastern.

probably won’t be any great info, because submarine, but it will be good to see some Michigan football in any form! Go Blue!

Not that selling shoes is the same as allowing domestic abuse to occur... but let’s hold off on the “UM program is clean” talk while there’s an investigation against us.

I assume after a rough football season Harbaugh wouldn’t do this again. He’s the type who would eliminate as many possible distractions as he can after that. But who knows...
