I found this great article on my friend blog Feeling down? Get happy, dammit! - Think fast, speak up and don't dwell on negative thoughts. Even if you never feel depressive, it includes interesting psychological facts as an impressive 40 percent (of our happiness) is generated by our daily thoughts and actions.

Happy reading !

I just made the Free Images section with the use of Drupals Content Construction Kit (CCK) and Views.

CCK is pretty intuitive and pretty detailed and with a few CCK-related modules, it can do pretty much everything you want ! Although I had to go through more than a few bugs, most of them had easy workaround and as I have a community spirit, I submitted those issues as well as their workaround.

I would've loved to enable the use of OpenID on this website ! Beside being listed on the directory and attracting a bit of traffic, just as some site use .net passports, it would've enabled a centralized login server meaning : less hassle for users, less user profiles needed to be stored. I can't wait until this site is upgraded to Drupal 6, which had OpenID in its core, or that this nasty bug is fixed.

I just read the constructive criticism about Drupal article To Drupal or not to Drupal, why we chose not to use Drupal for a photo shop. I must admit I'm on of those it points out at the end : Never forget that you, as Drupal developer, have the conditions under wich your (future) sites are running, hardwired into your brain.

I was thinking about a great house I once been in and beside the fact that it was drawn by an architect and was big, it had two great features, a stream that ran through the house and a big tree its trunk go through all 3-4 storeys through a lightwell with many windows. This gave me the idea of exploring of another architecture using a tree : a treehouse. I found many website having great houses big and small build as a treehouse, my favorite sites are : http://www.saveourtreehouse.com/SaveOurTreehouse/links/our_favorite_tree... and http://www.thetreehouseguide.com/list2007.htm
