Drew's blog

It was interesting to read of more growth along the lines of an idea I worked on in2006. Google seemed to be the first big company to latch on to it. They had their street view panoramas, with very obvious usefulness. Then they began to overlay information on them, again, obvious and very useful.

Now it seems one of my favorite companies is warming to the idea as well.

There is a new version of Drupal out! Drupal 7.

I tinkered with a few betas when I had a few minutes to do so.

I recommend Drupal highly!

So there's been quite a bit of news about Apple recently.

But the bottom line is the overwhelming majority of people like the iPhone 4 and are having no problems with the antenna.

I also read about how Microsoft is putting up a bunch of propaganda to continue to scare people away from Apple Macs. What a load of BS.

You are FAR BETTER with a Mac. Macs are more powerful, and since you can also install MS WIN, you can do everything that OS can do AND MORE. But personally I prefer and recommend to avoid MS WIN altogether.

This post is born of 10+ years of frustration in dealing with the Internet Service company that once was MindSpring, but was bought buy Earthlink, aka ELNK.

Back in the 1990's I bought a domain name though them, for a pretty penny. I won't go through all my woes with them, but will point out my main frustrations.

CompuDrew.com is back online after a brief outage due to a number of factors beyond my control.

I moved my domain and consolidated my web sites' code, but it seems I moved it all to a hosting account with outdated support, and that lead to a series of unfortunate events.

However, i was able to get my host to wipe the slate clean, as they say, and it seems this new hosting environment is better.
