So I'm hacking away at a custom module, testing it as we go along. Everything seems to be falling into place. Drupal is so cool to be developing in - until we move the module to the production server - when things start to get interesting.

On enabling the module and clicking Save Configuration, we are presented with a white screen (the configuration is saved, though). In fact, any post request throws us a white screen. Panic!

Nope the error logs are clean. No warnings either. Hiking the PHP memory limit didn't help.

The design we launched with was put together in a hurry. It was hardly awe inspiring.

And so we give you the new look. Some features are

• Put together in about 3 hours
• Is created from the scratch. Sorry Zen.
• "position: fixed" for the menu. Not great in IE 6. But who cares?

We spoke about the Lost Lakes of Bangalore Contest on the Waterday website.

If you haven't submitted your entry, there's still time - deadlines have been extended.

The Bangalore chapter of the International Federation of University Women just relaunched its site.

We helped redesign the site and create a nice Drupal theme for it.

University Women's Association, Bangalore

The Lost Lakes of Bangalore is a project to document Bengaluru’s many tanks and lakes which have vanished with urbanization and growth. As part of this project India Water Portal is organizing a contest for schools and colleges to document this aspect of Bengaluru's history.

If you can help spread the word, please contact them.

I wish I had a rupee for every time a client or a designer told me to not have scrollbars on their site - I would have like, uhh, 50 rupees or so.

Anyway. Do read this brilliant article called Life below 600px

Thanks Russell Heimlich for this cool service.

What's a web services company without a portfolio to brag about showcase its work?

I finally took the time today to put together a portfolio. Using Drupal's awesome Image and Views modules.

Thanks to Alen Grakalic for the cool Easy Slider JQuery plugin. (Update: had to give it up for usability reasons.)

The main metric of the success of a website is its traffic. The number of people who visit your site per day, month, year, whatever. For some bizarre reason, I had always assumed that we (and by that I mean everybody connected with the web business) had decided on how we were going to count visitors to a site.

I guess I was wrong all along.
