It's been over a year since I posted anything to this site. Keeping a site up-to-date is a lot of work. Along with creating and publishing content, a site requires constant maintenance of the technology and moderation of comments.

Earlier this month a vulnerability in a Ruby standard library was announced (http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2009/06/09/dos-vulnerability-in-bigdeci...). Since this site was running Mephisto (http://mephistoblog.com/), an open source Ruby on Rails blogging system, I needed to take some action.

So welcome to my new Drupal (http://drupal.org/) powered blog! I decided to put forth the effort to migrate to Drupal because Mephisto doesn't have the features that Drupal offers, including methods to limit the many comments (spam), and I wanted to get some experience with Drupal because my organization is now using this content management system.

Let's see if I can continue to refine the site and blog about some of my ideas.
