Updating a MAMP Installation
14 Oct 2009

Recently while backing up and syncing my MacBook Pro with my little hackintosh Acer Aspire One (or my Macbook Nano!) I decided to do some spring cleaning and upgrading to get them both in sync. The most important thing for me, as a web developer to get in sync, is my MAMP installation. For those of you not familiar with MAMP I will just say this... if you are a web developer and your chosen platform is OSX then you need MAMP in your life, its as simple as that!

Theming user profiles built with Content Profile
17 Aug 2009

This is a fairly minor issue but hopefully this will prevent a couple of hours of headscratching for someone else out there! The site I am currently working on requires a reasonable amount of custom fields to be added to the users profile so Content Profile seemed to be the logical choice.

Unity3D Drupal Module - File handling issues
26 Jul 2009

Sorry I haven't updated you on progress for a while, a combination of illness and dealing with unscrupulous property developers (mentioning no names, Barratt!) has meant that I have not had much time to devote to this project.

Unity3D Drupal Module Update
02 Jul 2009

You will be pleased to here that progress is good, I have only had a couple of days to work on this module so far but the central file directory is working, along with creating the content type and permissions and I am now working on getting the Unity embed code working.
