Just finished upgrading my websites to the newest Drupal 6.19 and new modules. Happily I didn't run into any major issues or hang ups. This is great news since I am running about a dozen websites off of a single Drupal code base. Read more

Google Voice

I have had a Grand Central number for about 2 years but I will confess that I never did much with it. I was always too afraid that the service might fail and I would loose my number. Well, with Google taking over I figured that it was now safe. I will continue to test and mark any tips or issues that I face with the service. Read more

Backing Up and Restoring 1and1 SQL Database for Drupal

Posted Wed, 09/10/2008 - 19:07 by Isaac

I am sure there are tons of you out there that know exactly how this works but I had to figure it out and unfortunately there wasn't one single article on how this would work with Drupal, SQL and 1and1.

As a subplot the reason I had to do this, other then needing to have database backups, was because I wanted to upgrade to the lastest version of Drupal and it requires MySQl 5.0 and higher.
