Tech speak

 With this site, I try to keep up to par with current web development techniques. The site was built using

• a fixed layout, based on a 960 grid
• a faux columns technique
• a separate stylesheet for the front page
• a custom content type (pic of the day) 
• 2 views for this content type
• a view for recent articles 
• a couple of overrides for Drupal functions
• custom pagers for node types and views
• multilingual setup

I work on the site at home on a vista PC, with the following capabilities:

• WAMP
• Subversion + tortoise
• Eclipse wit PDT
• Xdebug

Content is maintained primarily through Windows Live Writer and Blogdesk, synchronization is done throught Drupal's Blogapi and a Windows Live Writer module.

In the future, I plan on explaining a bit on these techniques and setups in the form of tutorials or how-tos.
