Since riding has been a rare thing lately, I have been trying to get some of my web projects back in motion. The main one that I am working on is The Motocross Connection.

Currently I am using the CMS Geeklog as the backend for the MXC. I may be changing this very shortly as I have not been very satisfied with the support from that community. I am trying to put together a MX Park Locator geeklog plugin but some aspects of it are way over my head. I posted to the geeklog forums and the only response I received was from a douche in Stockholm saying he would help me for “several thousand dollars”. LOL! Many of the users in the community act like they don’t want anyone else to have the knowledge they might. If that is the way it is then Geeklog is going to die off. I am going try to work with it a little more. If I don’t start to gain any ground I will most likely move to Subdreamer or VBulletin with VbAdvanced CMPS. Both of these seem to handle building a online community better that Geeklog.

If you have visited redslush.com before, you will notice that I have once again changed the page. Previously, I was using a blog backend called typo. The main reason I went with it was because it was built using Ruby on Rails. But the application is far from being usable. I may revisit it in the near future. Now the site is running on Drupal. I have dabbed with it in the past and was impressed.

As soon as I make some headway with mxconnection.net, I will start working on my other projects like the Online Cookbook using RoR, theswalls, and many others I haven’t started.

Peace out!
