Today I released the 6.x-1.10 version of the Plugin Manager.  This released fixed several bugs and added a few new features.  I also did a little planning today.  I've decided to start being a little bit more delibrate about when releases should occur.  Thus, I've formed a little list of sorts.  Though it is subject to change, the following changes are all slated for the 6.x-1.11 release.

Where were you on April 6th, 2006?  I was in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  How / why do I know this?  While trying to recover an image from the family camera, I decided to pull out a faithful tool: recoverjpeg.

It's about time that I add another lens to my arsenal.  I'm not looking for just any lens though.  I'm specifically looking for a 50mm.  Thus, I believe that I've found the next item to work its way onto my wish list: the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 D.

This afternoon I completed a project that I started last night: providing a recovery console for Drupal, so that a broken contrib module (or theme) can be disabled without having to climb into the database.  Technically I suppose it isn't done.  The first revision is though.  I suspect that (if I get any feedback) I'll get some requests to change things.  Anyway.  Feel free to test it out.

So, what have I been up to today?  Well, for starters, I've just proposed a patch a for D7 core that would add another stage to the bootstrap process.  Currently, the Drupal bootstrap process is broken into something like ten steps.  In the last step, DRUPAL_BOOSTRAP_FULL, Drupal finishes loading its core files and then loads all of the enabled module.  The patch that I posted moves the loading of core files into DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_CORE.  All that it leaves in DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL is the loading of enabled modules.
