Gondolin

I finally got sorted out to regrade the ADSL connection for Gondolin, the download speed is now (potentially) 8096 kbps, but perhaps more importantly for the server aspect of these things, the upload speed is improved by about a factor of two to 448 kbps. I haven't done any substantive testing yet, but it's certainly going to help me accessing the server from work.

So, in order to post that rant about PHP and SimpleXML I had to fix a problem that seems to have spontaneously arisen with Drupal (this content management system). For some reason it wasn't persisting login information, at least from firefox (sorry - iceweasel here on my Debian system). It's interesting to note, reading about the bug, that it has been around for literally months and doesn't seem to have been nailed. So, anyway, I've installed some beta of Drupal, and yes, it now seems to be fixed... If I could only solve the problem that I can't "uncollapse" parts of the content now. UPDATE: OK, this seems to be a problem with firefox version 2, or probably really the CSS file for it. It works with Galeon, or when I tell firefox to fake being IE .

So, here's a new look for gondolin. Essentially I'm trying out a CMS because I'm too lazy to always have to use some web editor. I hope you like it, it's easy to reverse if not!
