Hey, I helped discover Earl! :)

See the first review of the views module: http://drupal.org/newsletter/2005/winter

I saw Earl's awesomeness from the beginning. He rocks! Yeah!

Elaborate on the CCK limitation

Could you please elaborate on the CCK limitation mentioned around the 37:30 mark regarding Views, CCK and CRM?

Yes

I'd be interested in hearing about this limitation too, as it wasn't all that clear in the Podcast.

Excellent podcast though! I imagine many people have been waiting for stuff about Views/CCK, even if the podcast didn't really mention when Views might be finished.

Quick clarifying note

Great interview! and thanks for the kind words, Earl.

Just wanted to make a small point of clarification - by the time I hopped in and began working with Moshe, he'd already written most of the og_panels stuff. Most of my initial additions were what eventually turned into Collections (now Blueprints); from there, the additions I made primarily had to do with ensuring panels API compliance, working on the group context panels plugin, and some other stuff around the edges. Now, I still have a ton of patches I've been MEANING to offer up for Moshe's inspection, but...y'know, I'm swamped.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed the podcast and thought Jeff and Earl did a great job in keeping the conversation interesting. I actually found time to listen to the podcast in one sitting (the IT put-out-the-fire gods were smiling on me today). Thanks Lullabot!

So in #57 Angie could not mention a really exciting book. Is the Earl Miles' book mentioned at the end of #58 that book?

LA Drupal love

Hey L'bots, heard our LA Drupal [g.d.o.] homepage got some love on this episode.

I have a proposed slogan for Views and Panel modules - "Views - Choose your content," and "Panels - Arrange your content." What do you think?

I didn't hear Earl mention that Views can have Views appear in Views, without Panels. I think that's worth something. Plus, thanks for the info on Install Profile being able to have multi-step install form processes. I'm gonna use that for sure.

Things I didn't mention

There's lots of stuff I didn't really talk about in Views 2. Live preview, relationships, etc. I should've kept a checklist of things I wanted to sneak in. =)

To address a different post, the primary limitation is that it's hard to set up CCK in a module; you still have to create all your CCK stuff by the interface. Unlike Views where you can create your views, stick them in a module, and then put that module on another site.

URLS for websites discussed?

Thanks for the podcast! I've worked with Earl's modules, but didn't really understand them until now. :)

It would be nice to have a list of the URLs mentioned this and other podcasts (similar to http://cast-on.com/ ) it's hard to remember, and write them down while listening.

Thanks again.

URLs

I wasn't listening with a plan on making a list, but some I remember:

http://drupal.org/project/views
http://drupal.org/project/panels
http://drupal.org/project/nodequeue
http://drupal.org/project/advanced_help

http://imbee.com
http://myplay.com

And the defunct http://www.assignblame.com
and I don't think mentioned but Earl's own must-read site, http://angrydonuts.com

Other commenters, finish out the list? This is open source after all!
