Feeling lonely at UmlPlanet.com
The RSS feed OF this blog IS included IN several feed aggregator services/directories. One OF them IS UMLPlanet that IS supposed TO aggregate ALL kinds OF UML-related feeds.
Today I went TO the site TO CHECK what other blogs ARE indexed there AND, TO my surprise, almost ALL posts come FROM my blog, so basically I’m the only blogger indexed in UMLPlanet.
Sorry, but I’m not in twitter to follow your personal life
I use twitter as a work tool every day and I’m always looking FOR new people TO follow (among the ones that follow me OR thanks TO the tweetbeep AND twilert search alerts that I’ve setup).
Unfortunately, I end up following very few of the interesting people I find (in my context, interesting meaning “software engineers/developers and other kinds of techies”) because there is too much noise in their accounts (noise defined as “more than 75% of personal tweets”).
New humor page IN the portal
Trying to recap links with good programming and modeling jokes in the new humor page . Suggestions are more than welcome.

I have updated the second and third part of the “How I created this modeling site with Drupal” post series with
new information: restricting page access to certain users, creating a “most popular content” view, my simple backup and restore strategy,…

Blocking certain users from accessing a given page in Drupal
(this information is now part of the How I Created this modeling portal with Drupal page)
I recently had to create a page only accessible for: Registered Users AND users with an id matching one of the values in a Table X (e.g. to make sure that users have signed up for a specific service before letting them access it). Here is how I did it.
For the first part, there are several Drupal modules (e.g. this one ) that can be used for this purpose.
Accessing non-drupal folders within a drupal site
To my surprise, when setting up the OCL workshop web page I realized that the URL modeling-languages.com/events/OCLWorkshop2009/ was not automatically redirected to modeling-languages.com/events/OCLWorkshop2009/index.html . Instead, a forbidden access error was shown.
How did I create this site?
I’ve decided to include in the blog some posts about the process of creating the portal and the services that I’ll offer IN it. Hopefully, SOME OF you will find this information useful (e.g. if you ARE thinking IN creating also your own portal OR web site).
To BEGIN WITH I’ve written down some of the notes I took during the installation of Drupal (the CMS – content management system – used as base platform) and the setup of the portal.
