We have installed a 'solr' server for the use of our Drupal sites. It has been an interesting experience so far. Many thanks to all who have blazed the trail ahead of us.

I started getting the error

"500" Status: Internal Server Error in apachesolr_cron

So, I got to wondering if I could 'sync' my address book out of my Communigate system with my MacBook Pro.  A little digging and I found that the Address Book application has an import feature. It is able to handle csv, ldif, and vcard.

I brought up my Communigate web interface and took a look at Pronto. I couldn't find any way to export the data from the address book. So, after some thought, I decided to check the storage structures for Communigate. In the /var/Communigate/Accounts directory, I check inside my account area. There was a Contacts.mbox file.

Oklahoma's very first Drupal Meetup is happening tonight!  We have a relatively small Drupal community here, but we are getting together tonight to meet each other, and discuss how we can further the Drupal community in Oklahoma.  We are guessing between 5-10 people will attend at Panera Bread for an informal gathering.

So, I have been inspired from a recent video to go play with AEgir. I thought I would try it on my laptop, so off to install DAMP.

I must say, I was very impressed with the DAMP install. Simple, straightforward, quick. Oh yea, and it 'Just Works'! Very impressive. I played with the Drupal install for a few minutes and it all seems in order.

I didn't get to contribute much to Drupal 6 before it happened.  I was still learning how to use the toolset the Drupal community uses for these things, and after one successful attempt to contribute to core, I decided to focus my attention on contrib for a while.  It's been more than a year since that time (probably closer to two) and I'm much more comfortable and familiar with these tools, as well as having a much better idea of what it is that Drupal is "all about".
