Conversant Gets Turbocharged

Another nice thing about Conversant is you don't have to wait for the vendor to need an oft-requested feature themselves before they implement it.

Biggggaaa hard drive

My hard drive is filling up. I'm gonna get me a 60-gigger from Costco later today.

Alex, who has one, said, and I'm paraphrasing, "screw MP3, with a 60 GB drive go WAV all the way!" ;-)

I don't need all that space, but buying a smaller drive is just a waste of money.

Conversant upgrade

Macrobyte has been rolling out new features and upgrades to Conversant today. Seth tells me the weblog plugin was optimized somewhat, but he didn't think the difference would be noticable.

Free-Conversant Support: Loads of New Stuff -- "Prepare to be overwhelmed." That's a big rollout!

Maybe it's just me, but I notice a big difference in rendering speed for weblog pages. Surfing through the archive calendar is way way faster. What do you think, is it faster for you too?

I feel so validated :-)

I've been poking around Zope again, finally. I was sooo happy when I looked at the Define Permissions panel and found basically the exact same roles-based action-oriented permissions-acquisition design that I cooked up and convinced my customer into using for their CMS I'm building.

It's a good sign that this one-off CMS mirrors the design of a very well designed system like Zope in at least one aspect. :-)

Okay, now I can sleep in peace tonight... ahhh... sleeep.

You can get your own Zope site at http://www.zopesite.com/. Very cool.
