Woe to me.. Business is bad:

Drupal Development Environment on Mac
Thought I would catalog my journey of setting of new MacBook for development of Drupal. For this, I imagine I will need a LAMP stack (I've read that it's better not to use the one that comes with Mac for some reason?) and decent code editor.

I am coming from Windows/Linux

Of little import.. Just thought I would mention that I've changed my drupal.org profile/username from "bcswebstudio" to "texas-bronius". I am hoping to get in touch with the original but inactive "bronius" on there and use that name instead.

BCSWebstudio is still alive and strong, just as my contractor network grows, I don't want to drag everyone else down with my banter at d.o! :D Besides, this will be more personal..

Not my sort of day, today.. I knew this from the moment I woke up and was reminded throughout the day. Just thought I'd post a single pic which exemplifies what happened throughout the day, and culminated at my son's bed time.

This out-of-band post (much like the others) is just because I wanted to post it somewhere. Enjoy.. Hope your day turned out much better :D

Ok, I'm not pretending that when I had an office job that I couldn't drop everything and watch a helicopter land... but here I did it without shaving, combing my hair, and I got to stay as long as I liked!

I just learned from the author of this paper with whom I worked at the start of his study that they included my name in the acknowledgments right on the first page:
How Task-Facilitative Interactive Tools Foster Buyers’ Trust in Online Retailers: A Process View of Trust Development in the Electronic Marketplace

How very exciting!

This straight from MSDN:

Will MSXML support XSLT 2.0?

No. MSXML versions 4.0 and later fully implement and support XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 1.0 (W3C Recommendation 16 November 1999). If your XML application requires a later version of XSLT, Microsoft strongly recommends moving to the newer System.Xml framework classes, because all future XML development efforts will be focused there.

MSXML here refers to all versions of MSXML in IE as the latest version when invoked with something like:

I have no idea what etude this is, but it's a fun, hoppety scale for octaves, intervals, and smooth shifting between them all. It could be Dont, but don't hold me to it ;)

It's really copyrighted, I'm sure, but please if someone can identify it (see attached PDF), having it here will certainly help to that end.

Oh, and while I'm at it, check out this Encyclopedia of the Violin.

Senele gave me a HUGE canvas for my birthday. Having him help me gesso it wasn't a really great idea, but we both enjoyed painting on it together!
