You might have noticed a couple of beer recipes being posted lately! Among the changes made during recent upgrades to my server, I've created a pretty simple way to store beer recipes for all the batches I brew.  While I've been brewing for about 16 years now, I don't think I'll post all the recipes from all the way back.

Hi Everyone!

You may have noticed a few things are looking different on the site - indeed its true! As I mentioned in a post about a year ago, I was eventually going to upgrade my server in many ways. Its been happening slowly, and finally the visible changes are underway. I've upgraded the server itself to the latest OS and gotten all the services working decently, and just recently I took the plunge and upgraded Drupal, the software that runs the whole site, to the latest release. 

Hi everyone, just a quick note to give some advance warning:  I've been planning to make some cosmetic changes to the site, mostly moving things around in the sidebars and cleaning things up. But I just noticed there was a recent major upgrade to Drupal (the open source software I use to run this site). So, I'll probably take the opportunity to upgrade it, and who knows, while I'm at it, I might make other changes if something looks cool.

I just got a page up about my whisk(e)y collection.
It's linked up top, next to  the Beer link. The page will display any
posts made to the site related to whisky (of which there's now ...
one!)

On there you'll also find a link to my old pages about my collection at
its peak just before I left Portland in 2002.  Comments and tasting
notes are welcome, so please register and post if you so desire!

Whew! After 3 weeks of learning a lot about Drupal, I think the website
is now in a stable state.  At least, I don't think I'll make any big
design changes anytime soon :-)
