Code-Fly

I'm creating a new site for my sister BuyBuyBonnies.com. She is opening a Gift Basket business in Bolton, Ontario. Go check it out.

I discovered a new rails based content management system today called Radiant.
It is a simple cms with basic features and a nice simple and elegant admin interface. I'm thinking of moving this site over to Radiant since I think it would be much more fun to hack around on that.
Also, in my search for an e-commerce platform… I am leaning towards rolling my own. Winter is coming on, so I will be spending more time indoors (read: more time to hack) and I would much prefer to hack on rails than php.

I'm on the lookout for an e-commerce platform. This site is build upon Drupal, which has some nice e-commerce plugins and I have just created a test installation of Zen Cart to test that out.
My first impression of Zen Cart is that there are far too many options. The configuration page is a little intimidating, even for a techie such as myself. I think a non-technical person would be lost in the page.
I think I will keep looking, perhaps investigate drupal some more…

I create websites for a living, yet I don't have a personal website of my own. So this site is here to remedy that.

I'm also evaluating a framework for developing websites which I may find more use for in the future. Its called Drupal http://drupal.org, a content management system written in php. I'm sure I will have more to say about it in the near future.
