I hate to delay the release of this plugin but I am currently reworking some of the preferences to take advantage of Token more effectively.

The initial design for the module was that dates for the calendar entries would be determined by some process on specific CCK date fields from the node type. The module would take care of date format construction under the hood. I was initially fine with this decision until implementing it inside the project it was designed for.

I have finally moved this site over to Drupal 7.

So far, the Open Framework theme https://openframework.stanford.edu/ seems to be a winner.

Installed NexusBeam 4.1.0 last night on my Nexus S. ICS is pretty fantastic so far.

Awesome

• Tiny interface tweaks like smooth fades
• Attractive spell check under-lining in most text input fields
• Screen orientation rotation effect (Thanks to iOS for forcing Android people to up their UI game)
• People app!
• “My Contact Card” concept in People app. I can’t believe this took so long
• Settings App sucks a lot less

Less Awesome

• Google Search bar at the top of the home screen. (I don’t really use this, but maybe I’ll have to start now)
• Horizontal scrolling through the apps drawer
• Once finished scrolling through the apps drawer you start scrolling through your widgets.
• Less battery life (but I’m using a brand new, probably untweaked, community build, so I’m not going to actually register this as a complaint yet)

It is hard to have any real opinion until I get a stock Google Rom and try it out, but for now I am very happy with ICS.

Preface

This post is just to give some back story to the original needs of this module because I think it may help someone reading the documentation and asking “how can this help me?” while being a bit more anecdotal and less technical than the documentation. I will go in to more detail about the module design and usage in coming posts, so don’t feel bad if you don’t read this. :)

This past Monday morning was great; I came back to work after an extended vacation and I installed Linux Mint 12 on my T510.

I am a heavy user of workspaces to keep my work and my mind organized. I like knowing that Thunderbird is a quick (CTRL+ALT+RIGHT)*2 away but that it will not distract me while in a coffee-induced ADHD-like state. For reasons like this, I feel offended and alienated by changes to my workspaces! I felt like I was being asked to lose functionality for the sake of new users and the tablet experience.

With the recent gene therapy successes with Hemophilia B, how long before we get attempts at Hemophilia A gene therapy? If I understand it correctly, they are both single gene defects and the same techniques should work.

From what I read about the mechanisms of the gene therapy, liver cells were ‘infected’ with a working F9 gene with their viral vector. The number of affected liver cells was proportional to the amount of viral vector given. So, if I understand this, once these liver cells die off the ability of the patient to produce Factor IX will go with them and they will need another round of therapy.

I hate to delay the release of this plugin but I am currently reworking some of the preferences to take advantage of Token more effectively.

The initial design for the module was that dates for the calendar entries would be determined by some process on specific CCK date fields from the node type. The module would take care of date format construction under the hood. I was initially fine with this decision until implementing it inside the project it was designed for.

I have submitted the module to the Drupal community for review and am just waiting on full git access to be granted for the project.

I have made a few changes in the way Tokens are processed and have creating, updating and deleting calendar entries working smoothly. I am not exactly happy with bundling Zend with this module, but I was not about to re-write bindings for the Google Data APIs. The hard part of dealing with Google APIs in Drupal really is the lack of lightweight bindings.

This is a test post that should show up on my personal Google calendar.

Update: It does.

I have attached a couple of screenshots to this page.
