not working at the moment)
Joomla is pretty cool, though the initial learning curve is not
quite as simple as the hype suggests. I did a cpanel install on a
client site, then hammered away on it for days before noticing that the
index.php file needs a mod_rewrite to be displayed, .htaccess needs a
tweak, and you can't also have an index.html sitting around in the
directory. Now it's working, and I'm learning about the menus and
publishing process... the whole intent is to make it work for a
non-technical group so I am not in the critical path to web
publishing. It's for CARE, our local environmental group here on Camano Island, and once this is all stable I might incorporate it into my Nomadness site.
I took a big step today, putting a deposit on the Furuno Navnet
3D chartplotter and Simrad AP24 autopilot... as well as a few NMEA2000
goodies. The boat is getting a serious geek facelift!

Links and Miscellany
The front door of this web site is
the place to start, and the Nomadness site (including a
dedicated blog) carries the
most focused current info about the boat project. There's a page of Amazon
goodies that I can recommend, and I have a section for product reviews that is still
not very populated.
The Edirol
M-16DX console mixer is ready to install in the ship's zone of
geekery.
