Scratchy Throat / DotNetNuke / Origami
Jan. 30th, 2006 11:03 amI've got a scratchy throat today. Nothing too bad beyond that, but I'm worried I'm going to get sick with something soon. *sigh* Oh, well.
I've been reading through this really good book on DotNetNuke that Wrox published last year. DNN, for those of you not web/Microsoft geeks, is a web portal that's been made to be easy to install, and easy to modify. The version has hit 3.2, and so the architecture of how it works to include new functionality in modules is pretty damn good. I'm going to be writing a module for a friend of mine as a side job, and I'm really looking forward to getting it working. (That's not to say I'm not having some teething problems with it - but considering the size of the codebase I'm working with here, it's really not that much.)
Went by Michael's craft store yesterday for feathers. My wife's joined in on this big art event in Denver - The Mask Project - and she needed some feathers to complete her mask. So we went there. I wandered off, not that interested in feathers, and found the plain Origami paper. I've got foil paper, I've got teeny paper, I've got double-sided and neon and rough paper... but I'm running out of the plain paper. *laugh* But happily enough they did have it, and it's much cheaper than the others - 100 pages for the same price as 36 of the fancy. I also picked up some cardstock for more sturdy folds, and an interesting beginner book to Origami. It's nicely laid out with lay-flat binding, and contains a lot of newer folds I hadn't seen instead of the standard Crane/etc/etc that you get for free with your paper anyway. I'm really rather happy with it, so I picked it up and brought it home. Origami meetings in Denver are next weekend anyway. :)
