Book Review: Drupal E-commerce with Ubercart 2.x

Developing Ubercart was a wonderful experience. I learned a lot about software development, Drupal, web technologies, and worldwide communities. At the end of my time leading the project, I could also see that thousands of people were using the software to sell products for profit, bring people together at events, and raise money for many worthy causes and organizations. Seeing now a book written to help even more people do these things is an added treat.

Building a Rotating Image Banner as a Views Slideshow

On two separate sites I've recently had to implement a rotating image banner that could optionally be linked to paths within the site or to external URLs. Originally I tried a (mostly) self-contained module that matched the feature set called Rotor with some success but really needed greater flexibility. Undaunted, I rebuilt the functionality using a custom content type, a few CCK fields, ImageCache, and Views with the Views Slideshow plugin.

Ready to fly: DrupalCon SF

DrupalCon San Francisco will mark my first time traveling with a rolling carry-on instead of the duffel I've brought to every conference / camp since Barcelona. It's a good thing, because Packt was kind enough to send along several copies of their new Ubercart book for me to give away in the Commerce Guys Ubercart Training.

There must be love in the relation between the person who says "I am" and the observer of that "I am". As long as the observer, the inner self, the higher self, considers himself apart from the observed, the lower self, despises it and condemns it, the situation is hopeless. It is only when the observer (vyakta) accepts the person (vyakti) as a projection or manifestation of himself and, so to say, takes the self into the Self, the duality of "I" and "this" goes, and in the identity of the outer and the inner the Supreme Reality manifests itself. This union of the seer and the seen happens when the seer becomes conscious of himself as the seer; he is not merely interested in the seen, which he is anyhow, but also interested in being interested, giving attention to attention, aware of being aware. Affectionate awareness is the crucial factor that brings Reality into focus. When the vyakti realizes its non-existence in separation from the vyakta, and the vyakta sees the vyakti as his own expression, then the peace and silence of the avyakta state come into being. In reality the three are one: the vyakta and the avyakta are inseparable, while the vyakti is the sensing-feeling-thinking process.
