- Brian also discussed a story detailing what a 3D laser scan revealed about Stonehenge.
- Finally, Brian shared with John this “in Perspective” post discussing one of the earliest songs Brian ever wrote—“Time Takes Over” (c. 1989)—and how the technology of digital recording allows him to update every few years.

T&A: Technology and the Arts 
Nice show today, but a bit short. 😉
John, you speak about a CMS called “Jupo” ; is it that website http://jupo.org/ ? but it’s seems to be plugins for django, I didn’t find anything else 😦
I used plone, it’s a good cms too (I found it more clear than joomla) but it don’t have a big library of plugins like WP or joomla though.
Sorry, I should have added links to the content management systems we discussed. I believe you are referring to when John mentioned Drupal (http://drupal.org/) after we talked about Joomla’s (http://joomla.org) decrease in popularity and the rise of WordPress (http://wordpress.org/) as a CMS.
whoa ! my fault, the french pronunciation of drupal is much more accentuated :p and yes I was talking about that. Drupal is pretty good saddly I stopped playing with CMS shortly after I started with drupal.
Many Thanks.
