ICT

I have finally started to ‘transition’ towards retirement and will probably spend a little more time at Deans Marsh where we have a small house on a few acres.  The process of transition is to spend less time traveling to and from the office and to spend more time working from home other than those times when it’s absolutely necessary to meet face to face.

Next to John Howard and Phillip Ruddock my wife’s greatest hate is technology.  So when we planned to go overseas in March of this year I had to do a fair amount of work to make sure that there were plenty of good reasons for me to sneak a laptop into the luggage.  Communication with the grandchildren was the secret – so I decided to buy a small form factor laptop with a camera built in and plenty of other goodies to make it useful.

I am still in the early stages of setting up my new Drupal site. There is a plethora of information to be found about Drupal on the web and one of the more informatitive sites (other than the Drupal sites themselves) is Nick Lewis' top ten Drupal modules you can't do without. It is a little out of date and it would be good if someone had the time and inclination to bring it right up to date. Nevertheless it is still very useful.
