Another system upgrade, this one easier…

Another system upgrade caused me to reboot the system today, after 12+ days of uptime.

OTR Concert at Taft Theatre, December 8, 2001

I like the Green Yellow Swallowtail song more and more. At the SouthGate House show (in September) it seemed very eerie because they had cut their backroads tour short within a week or two because Karin’s mother had a stroke. The line something like “mother’s…

What a weekend!

What a weekend!

What a great weekend we had here in Cincinnati!

This was the weekend of the annual Over The Rhine Christmas show at the Taft Theatre, and there were many festivities that went along with the show.

There are Reviews of the show in Reviews and pictures in the Photo Gallery. Check them out!

Every December, the music fans in Cincinnati get a very special treat. Cincinnati-based Over The Rhine present their Christmas concert at the Taft Theatre.

This year’s show featured two guest acts. Erin McKeown and Buddy & Julie Miller were openers. Over The Rhine played for about 115 minutes, including encores.

After the show, a group of Over The Rhine fans (many of whom flew in from around the country to attend this show) went to Pizzaria Uno’s for a late-night dinner and much merriment.

On Saturday morning, I hosted an informal Brunch at our new house, complete with excellent food and live music.

The whole weekend was a great time.

Some behind-the-scenes changes…

Some behind-the-scenes changes…

In anticipation of upgrading to the newest release (0.701) of PostNuke, our Content Management System, I have made some behind-the-scenes changes to the way that the Main Menu works. Users should notice no functional differences, and will see that there is a new option, Who…

I didn’t know whether to do this or not…but what the heck…my thoughts on this past weekend (now that I have a moment to catch my breath). I must say first of all that, despite how excited I was to do the weekend, I was…

No Upgrade (Yet)!

No Upgrade (Yet)!

I’ve decided to wait to upgrade this system to the latest release of Post-Nuke. The most recent release has not been very smooth, so we will not upgrade this site until some of the rough spots are smoothed out.

It is my expectation that installation of the new release will be transparent to users — that is, you won’t notice that anything has changed as you’re using the system.

One thing that will change is that the new system has a more robust user permissions system. Therefore, it will be to your benefit to sign up for a FREE account here at DrewVogel.COM in order to use the new features.

During the upgrade, I am also considering upgrading our forums at the same time to be more integrated with the system. As it stands now, you have to sign in twice to use the forums — once on DrewVogel.COM and again within the forums. I think that’s inefficient.

If I’m able to find a forum that is integrated within Post-Nuke, I will install and use that since the current implementation has fallen somewhat stagnent.

As usual, if you notice anything strange, please let me know!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I want to wish all the users and visitors to DrewVogel.COM a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. This has been a big year for me, and I appreciate all the friendships that give me the energy to move forward. I sincerely hope…
