Macheist: a brilliant example of marketing

Macheist is a group of promoters who once a year assemble a bundle of good macintosh software from independent software developers at a ridiculously low price. Total package would cost around $900 independently and they are selling it over the next 2 weeks for $39 dollars.

Software developers are selling their apps in this package for pennies on the dollar, but make it up with volume and by expanding their customer list to sell additional items. Some developers have criticized the program stating that it cheapens the market, but participation is voluntary and the event is temporary.

Notes on Upgrading to Drupal 6

I recently upgraded this site to Drupal 6 and wanted to share a few notes. I had several objectives during this upgrade:

  1. Upgrade to Drupal core and contributed modules to version 6
  2. Convert audio and video content types to cck filefield with swftools (and Quicktime media to Flash)
  3. Convert to Drupal's multi-site architecture to allow my self to be able to run additional sites in the future
  4. Get the site under version control with Subversion and deploy with Sitecopy.
  5. Use my new theme
