Goddamn that Dries. He's got a little movement on his hands. And now he's got you too.

Oh well. I for one welcome our robotic Flemish weblogging overlords.

Doh! I'm just following the rules:

1) All software sucks, though some sucks less;
2) The software you just installed is the wrong one.
3) The more components a tool has, the less useful each individual component;
4) The harder the install, the longer you're likely to use it;
5) Choose the tool that is most likely to appear to solve all the problems of your next project, in order to get funding for said project;
6) Make up all rules on the fly, without reflection, and you'll keep everyone guessing, even yourself. And sooner or later, everyone will stop noticing you and you can get on with your work.

i.e. I need a tool for this encyclopedia that I'm putting together with folks, and I'm still torn between OJS, Drupal and MediaWiki. I need a couple months experience with drupal balance my experince with the other two.

Drupal is cool, is what I'm saying. I happen to know Dries, who wrote it. Some of me is in there.

Your secrets are safe with me. Finding drupal even more ideosyncratic than MT or WP, unfortunately, but such is the edge.

LOL... I'm liking the second rule a lot. Except that with me it would undoubtedly go something like this: The software you installed incorrectly is the wrong one.

That works for us all.
