We do the techno-babble - so you don't have to

WordPress and Drupal specialists

Menu

The Menu module is an optional core module that 'Allows administrators to customize the site navigation menu'. But I'll not put it under Core because it will have sub-items- which are NOT core components.

bi-gram - when one word won't do

bi-gram - when one word won't do

In the early 90's I was leading a project called Silver Bullet. For some reason we made a list of pairs of words where the first word started with an S and the second a B. I now know that a pair of words like this is called a bi-gram. I didn't want this list to get lost. So decided to make a fun project cataloguing these bi-grams on the internet.

Deal with Stress

Deal with Stress - with Irene Lock

Irene wanted a replacement for her rather dated website. Although she had been given instructions to maintain the original site she found it too complicated. Her first requirement "Can you centre the page in the window?" could have been a one line change to the CSS... But I could not see a (simple) way of doing it under the current implementation. Since the hosting was due to expire, we looked at the replacement options. We developed a prototype in WordPress, but that seemed too inflexible.

So I migrated it to Drupal.
