I want one of these new Subaru WRX STI Limited. Sooooooooooooooooooo hawt.

I need to add more to this post later.

So, after being inspired by my work here on my homepage with Drupal, I've finally gone and done the first major upgrade to GameWatchers.net in nearly 5 years. It is now running a version of drupal with only a few custom modifications (mostly to templates).

Its very good stuff. Hopefully now that its a much more friendly interface and system, we'll get going on really posting some great news, and articles, just like we always hoped.

A wildfire burned near my home yesterday. Pretty impressive looking, I can't wait until I can see some aerial photos of the area, because its hard to see exactly where the fire came and went from the ground.

I don't know if we would have even known something was going on until some crazy woman ran through the apartment complex yelling 'Fire! Fire!' while banging on doors. I hopped up and yelled back 'excuse me?' and she explained theres a grass fire approaching. It was still a good mile away when we went to look. Reverse-911 told us that there was no danger, and the fire was pretty well contained on our side of Indiana street. The reverse-911 call did say to prepare in case we were to be evacuated, so we did some preparing and did something we should have already done - took pictures of a bunch of the more important or expensive things for recordkeeping.

It did burn a good swath on a rancher's property next door (the owner was on the news), but it was pretty well controlled since fire crews were already up there controlling the burn. That was only about a quarter mile away from our place.

So yeah, some excitement for a Sunday afternoon.

Since this is a pretty experimental site anyway, I’ve upgraded the site to the latest pre-release of Drupal to check out the new features.

I’m currently trying to figure out the theme compatibility issues, so if you see some wierd behavior, blame it on that.
