PredictX is online
We were recently contacted by PredictX, new startup from Germany that would like to implement the crowdsourcing models in a big style. Basically, a user can use virtual money to bet on events.
This interesting project included from our side Drupal theming, checking backend API as well as some nice integrations of Flash chart libraries and implementation of business logic.
Comparing the site idea with some other similar solution has convinced our staff to take part in the project. The success of PredictX community crowdsourcing model is almost assured since the business idea behind it has great potentials, so I am pretty much convinced that some very interesting development of PredictX.org will take part rather sooner than later. In the mean time, check www.predictx.org.

I had a dream to make my commerce, nevertheless I did not have enough amount of money to do that. Thank heaven my mate suggested to utilize the business loans. Hence I used the sba loan and realized my desire.

The new site looks great!a0 I myself use WordPress and like it quite a bit. It's easy to use, has lots of pilguns and is very adaptable.

Uhm, backup nyoane?Running CVS is tricky to say the least. I managed to knock my own site offline for a couple of hours today because of a tiny bug that would stop non-registered users from viewing my site.If you don't want to take the risks, don't run a CVS copy ;-)Ofcourse you *do* miss out on all the goodies that way

I recently read Drupal 6 Themes, by Ric Shreves a prtenar at design and development firm Water Stone. I found the book to be a great resource. Drupal 6 Themes Lately I have been digging further into Drupal, an open source content management platform that describes itself lightheartedly as community plumbing. This plumbing has been used to power many high profile sites, which all have their own distinct look and feel. It appeals to me because it's more powerful than simple blogging software, but with that comes a bit of complexity. Thankfully, it is actually quite intuitive once one makes sense of how it works. This allows for a great deal of flexibility in terms of design. Looking at sites that use Drupal reads like a veritable who's-who of technology / innovation. . . * csail. mit. edu* fastcompany. com* infoworld. com* linuxfoundation. org* recovery. gov* research. nokia. comWhile some have criticized Drupal in the past as being difficult for designers to customize, and that was probably a valid concern (at the time), the latest version is quite designer friendly made so via the PHPTemplate engine that is built into the system. While it is just PHP, it is quite a bit simpler in terms of building templates than writing out raw code long-hand. So one could say, it is as designer friendly as other systems that rely on PHP for templating. Shreves did a great job covering all that is possible within Drupal, from a design standpoint. He begins by explaining how the inner workings of the system fit together, and how this allows for a designer to override and tweak everything. He then shows how to take an existing theme and build a sub-theme. Of course, this is all just a precursor to chapter 7 and beyond, where Shreves really shines, showing you how to build your own fully customized themes. That's not to downplay the importance of the foundational material, as the earlier chapters build well upon each other. I am simply saying I found the chapters on doing your own design from scratch especially inspiring. Overall, I would highly recommend this book to any code savvy web designers who are looking to take their skills to the next level with a full-fledged content management system. With newly acquired skills, you will be able to confidently tackle enterprise scale projects, building upon the versatility of Drupal.
