Kevin says: On top of launching AIM Pages, we've gone and redone I Am Alpha. We're still working on content, but all the content that was on the old site has been ported to the new site and a lot of it has been tweaked and/or improved, and we're working on a lot more (in our copious spare time). Some of my favorite new stuff:

     
  • The Module Maker: Generate your module with a handy form instead of having to do it all by hand.
    •  
  • The Module Workshops: We had some folks write these for us.   Pretty cool little tutorials on creating different types of modules.
    •  
  • The Buzzword Bucket: Get all your Web 2.0 definitions in one handy place (personally, my name is the favorite bit).

Big thanks go to Valli for helping us out with the design, and Christina and Cher for fixing all of my grammatical errors and helping us organize things.   The original was gorgeous, and I didn't do it justice (a combination of lack of time + working with Drupal's templating system).

    Ok, it doesn't work for me when I go to http://iamalpha.com/.module/steven1, so there's probably something wrong with the code you used to pull in the applet.  Does the applet require parameters?   Can you get it to work on your computer?   If not, it's not going to work as a module.

    I set my applet to this:

    /.module/MODULE-NAME/applet
    /.module/steven1/Project5.class

    And it still is not finding the Applet. Any ideas?

    Seems like it wants to work if it can find what it's looking for.

    Thanks for the help.

    We haven't actually tried loading java applets...  If you can build a module that pulls it in, and the applet doesn't have host limitations (some will only allow you to run on a certain host, then it should be OK.  You may also have to change the path of the apple to /.module/MODULE-NAME/applet to get it to pull in correctly once uploaded.

    Wasn't sure where to put this comment... so here it is.

    Is it possible to get Java Applets to work as modules? If so, could you please let me know, possibly in an example.

    I tried a real simple one and it recognized the Applet, but would not load it. Is this a security issue?

    Thanks for any info regarding this topic.
