One of the most exciting technology announcements recently is Microsoft's Surface computing. Check out microsoft's site.

A particularly interesting piece of news circulating the automotive business world at the moment is the stories that BMW is eying an acquisition of the Volvo brand from Ford.

i have long advocated that local organisations explore the use of internet to drive the development of content in the country (that's because i am a tech geek and an entertainment junkie *grin*).

a lot has been said about web 2.0.

what is it?

in short it is about exploiting the technology of web content and design. it is about connecting people. sharing. collaborating.

what the heck. let Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology, Kansas State University explain it.

I post this on the drupal website at http://drupal.org/node/91684

I have posted a couple of requests for support on the following threads:

http://drupal.org/node/62255
http://drupal.org/node/62255#comment-126256

http://drupal.org/node/64591#comment-122097

...but can't seem to get any answers. perhaps my requests are buried deep in the thread. so i decide to create a new thread to seek help.

what i am trying to achieve

i would like to setup more than one drupal site using a single code base. each site would have different settings / databases. i do not want to have subdomains (although this could be a later requirement) or parked domains (as suggested by fidelis on http://drupal.org/node/62255#comment-126409). my response: i intend to set up various community interest sites with a single domain as being the traffic aggregator, so the additional domains is not an option.
