Here is the link to a content filtering solution we are currently using on Windows Home Server 2011. http://sichent.wordpress.com/2011/09/30/content-filtering-on-windows-home-server-2011/

So far this has proven to be a fairly effective filtering solution, considering the price … (free) when also installed in conjunction with Squid.

Drupal help

I have recently been working in Drupal 7 to redo my site enduringpixels.com in the hopes that I might get that business off the ground now that things are getting back to some what normal.

A couple of fixes for things that I have come accross so far have been for how to remove breadcrumbs for your theme.

In the page.tpl.php file of whatever template you are using, remove the line that says:

or something to that effect.

Also I have been trying to figure out how to not have the publish date display on pages and articles.

Login as Drupal administrator
Navigate to: Administration >> Node >> Content types
Click Edit link of content type of which you want to hide author and date information
Click Display Settings tab and un-check “Display author and date information”.
Click “Save content type” button.

Office ceiling

Well this last weekend past we managed to get the ceiling up in the office. Now that we have it up and decided to not insulate it, a small problem seems to have occured which we had hoped wouldn’t, or should I say several small problems Our 2 cats that love to play in the ceiling (Izzy and Angus) have discovered that they can walk over between the ceiling joists and look down through the cracks at me while I work on the computer. its rather cool to hear the pitter patter of their feet as they walk over head.

Insulation

Andrew — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 17:00:14 +0000

Well the media room has now got a completely insulated and vapour barriered ceiling. The room is so much warmer now! Next step is to hang the drywall, then put on the finish treatment, then the basement is complete.

After that we just need to touch up the drywall in the stairwell, put on the second coat of paint, carpet the stairs and attach the handrail and new lights and the whole thing is done!

Its so close

Bookcases

Andrew — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 15:31:33 +0000

Well the bookcases got started this weekend. Got to play with my router and make dado joints for each one of the shelves, even had to make a jig to do them squarely First case is up, leveled and squared, second case is still missing 4 shelves because I ran out of material. Each one is 89 inches tall and about 27 inches wide, for a grand total of over 14 feet of shelving per case. I got so many boxes in the office unpacked over the weekend because of the one case that is finished.

Just need to trim the cases out and paint them and then they are complete
