Some more Drupal 7.2 testing…

Now Drupal 7.2 is setup, I’m looking into how to configure it to fit:

  1. extend the fields for users, such as Name, Last name, etc.
  2. list of users (for authenticated users only)
  3. calendar with coming events (for authenticated users only)
  4. share and store documents (for authenticated users only)

Test Drupal on a Ubuntu 11.04 LAMP server

There are probably a lot of different ways to test Drupal. I’ll be testing it on a local computer using a LAMP server, in my case Ubuntu with Apache, MySQL and PHP.

More on Android…

Running and using Android 2.2 on the HTC HD2 was already great. But using Android on the Desire HD is even better as Android is running from ROM, not from the memory card. So it’s faster, more responsive and has some nice additions such as a 8 megapixel camera and Dolby. Other updates such as e.g. DLNA are probably also part of a Desire HD ROM for the HD2.
