Command Line Warriors – Three classic command line tips
Saturday, February 27th, 2010Using Drupal
Saturday, February 27th, 2010More than one low-budget or no-budget Montana organization has a website built with Drupal. The Drupal content management system is free and used for well known sites like The White House, the New York Observer, Amnesty International and The Onion.
But the learning curve is steep, and Montana cities do not always have a network of Drupal-literate coders available to assist with administration and updating of sites.
If this situation sounds familiar, get Using Drupal.
This uncommonly well written book may immediately remedy the familiar Montana problem of the “missing webmaster” by unlocking the community-based power of a Drupal website. The book includes lucid descriptions of key website administration concepts combined with practical step-by-step remedies for typical organizational goals.
And if you live in Montana but despise books of this nature, remember that Drupal coder communities are growing daily. In Montana, the Western Montana Drupal Group is another good place to seek affordable help.

Word Press in Missoula Courtroom for Grace Trial
Monday, March 23rd, 2009
The law school and the journalism school are helping report on the U.S. Attorney’s prosecution of W.R. Grace and five officials for criminal offenses.
I understand but have not personally confirmed that U.S. District Judge Molloy gave permission (rare) for reporters inside the courtroom to keep their cell phones and/or laptops turned on so twittering may occur.
Here’s one news story among many describing the revolutionary coverage of this federal trial:
