For a long time I've wanted to be able to write a single version of source code and have the same code compile on multiple operating systems. I’ve known for a long time you can do that with java, but I didn't want to learn java because java apps always seem sluggish - I HATE slow sluggish programs and everyone else does too. But even if there's a way to get over that hurdle, I don't know java, and if I can avoid it, I want to stick to what I'm experienced with: C and C++.

So I asked around for something I could use for cross-platform development. I want to write a program once and have it work on everything, not write a different version of the same program for each OS I want it to run on. That's just crazy and a waste of time.

There was about 1,500 spam comments from anonymous users from automated spam bots. I had to create an SQL query to search for them and delete them all because there was just too many to delete one at a time haha.

So I decided to just make it so you have to be logged in, in order to submit any comments.

Well today I did more looking around for a syntax highlighting module.

I also ran into a project module (I think it's the one drupal uses on their site), which I half way setup. So far it looks like I'll be able to use it for all the projects I release :)

I think I found one called geshifilter that will work, so hopefully I wont have to make one lol.

I've done some looking around for syntax highlighters that I remember using and / or hearing of.

I hunted down GeSHi, which is made in PHP. And Enscript, which is a command line program ( More info about Enscript here ).

Both have the ability to highlight multiple languages. I'm looking for more programs like this.

I've decided the next thing I want / need to do is, find a module for Drupal that can provide syntax highlighting in code blocks for a wide variety of languages, because I program in several languages. And eventually, I will publish source in all of them.

So far I haven't found a module that's not beta, I may end up having to program one myself =\

I'll look around some more. I hope I find a good one :)

If not, maybe the first thing I release here will be a proper syntax highlighting module. :)

Tips on where to find one are welcome! Just add a comment :)

So after installing drupal I wanted to figure out how to organize content into categories on the menu.

After an hour or two of searching I found Taxonomy menu.
So I installed it and am currently getting a feel for it and adding categories to see how it looks.

By adding a new category, It adds a new link to the menu. Right now I have "Topics" and under that I put Programming for now.

I'm liking it so far and I think it'll do what I want for organizing content into categories and adding the categories to the menu automatically.

I decided to make this a site for my projects, snippets, tutorials, etc.

So I setup Drupal, an open source content management system. Their website is Here

I may allow other people to register to add content but I haven't completely decided yet.
Right now users can only add comments.

I'm going to try this out and see how it works with what I want to do here.

P.S. Some people who come here are looking for elitecoders.org, or elitecoders.net. You may want to check those sites before freaking out haha.
