A Jolly Great and JollyFast VNC Client Software for Mac OS X

Tue, 03/17/2009 - 12:39 — jlmeredith

One of the most frustrating things about doing basic sysadmin work is having to move from one computer to the other in order to take care of updates and various configuration items. For a long time I have relied on software like Apple’s Remote Desktop application to give me the access I needed. But after years have either paying for or having access to a Remote Desktop license, I have recently found myself without.

Fortunately, most all servers support the VNC protocol for remote desktop work including Apple. Unfortunately there have not been any great VNC client out there that were either free or low cost - until now.

Plans for Building out a Better "Notable Drupal Powered Websites" List

Sun, 01/11/2009 - 14:36 — jlmeredith

Ok, so the recent influx of web traffic to the Notable Drupal Powered Websites posting has made me realize that maybe there is a need for a very simple, very A-List build out of websites. There are multiple other websites out there which list Drupal sites, but I think where many fail, is the ranking based on not just voting, etc, but also on the objective classification of of the sites themselves. More than just things like industry, tone, etc. I am talking more about what sites can be presented as the masterpieces of the Drupal world or at least the ones that are more than a modified theme (though I have seem some of those that were really good too).

Notable Drupal Powered Websites

Every time I have to do a presentation on Drupal, I have to go on the hunt for a list of Drupal Powered websites. So, rather than looking each time, I am compiling a list here. I am kicking off the list with most of those listed on Dries website. I have excluded some from Dries list as they are not US based sites, which is my audience.
