Drupal 6 + Panels + Site Contact Form? YES!
For those of you who are trying to figure out how to place a contact form into a panels layout in Drupal 6.4+, I have found that the old method of:
<?php print contact_site_page(); ?>was only producing a white screen of death. What DID work for placing a site contact form in both Panels and Lightbox2 was to use the PHP filter, and use the following:
<?php
require_once drupal_get_path('module', 'contact') .'/contact.pages.inc';
print drupal_get_form('contact_mail_page');
?>Hope it helps!

Playing with the Wacom
Today I pulled the Wacom tablet out of the box and hooked it up to Photoshop to give it a whirl. My 3 year old wanted me to draw a horse, so I went and found a nice picture of an Arabian and proceeded to try to trace it, then after getting the basics of it finished, I started to shade and embellish.
I think it turned out pretty nice!

It's Best if You Don't See This
I don't think much of Mollom on my Drupal site. It's not that I don't like it, actaully I freakin' LOVE it! It is just that I never, ever, have to think about it.

Setting up pdftotext and search_files on a shared host (Bluehost)
So this week I had to get search_files module for Drupal 6 running on a shared host, Bluehost, for one of my customers. I had promised that we would be able to search his PDF files, but I didn't realize that search_files, as well as search_attachments modules require a Linux command line utility named pdftotext to be installed.
I did request that Bluehost install it on my box and was told that anything requiring root access wasn't going to happen.
Fine, maybe I can run it myself, after all, I did get SVN running on Bluehost, how hard could it be?

What shall I do with this day?
Woot, it's my birthday, and now I am older. Thanks to all the good people on Twitter who wished me a good one!
Really I don't put a lot of stock in birthdays, but it is a good chance for my wife and I to have some together time and a great opportunity for the grandparents to get some grandchildren time.
Today, I am going to go see...
